Star Wars MMORPG

I have a serious problem. This is no joke. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I can’t stop thinking about how excited I am to play Star Wars the Old Republic. It’s a massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) set in the Star Wars universe and it looks spectacular.



I loved “Knights of the Old Republic”, I played and loved “Jade Empire” and “Mass Effect”, all from Bioware the developer of those magnificent games. Now Bioware is going to pull this MMORPG junk. This is bad because up to this point in my life I’ve only logged about 3 months worth of MMORPG play time and it took all my energy to end the game when I did.

When I was finishing college I was not the best student teacher I could be (to put it gently). Not because I wanted to enjoy my last semester and party down, but because I was addicted to Final Fantasy XI. This by most accounts was a fairly bland video game experience that I could not tear myself away from. I’d come home from student teaching fire up the old PS2 and play until I went to bed. Then I’d wake up plan for the day, teach my shoddy plan, and do it all over again.

Now Bioware an excellent company with a proven track record has gone and made an MMORPG in the Star Wars universe. How the hell is anyone supposed to stop playing long enough to hold a job and spend time with their friends and family?
