There’s a large body of people on the TOR forums who hate SWG and are currently shouting TORs name from every rooftop. They’re easy to spot. I’m sure you’ve seen some as you’ve tooled around the forums, reading threads.
But here’s an interesting observation for you to chew on.
Your average SWG fan loved that game because it gave them tons of role-playing options. So it stands to reason that SWG haters aren’t fond of role-play. I mean, if they were, they would be able to see that SWG was actually a fantastic role-playing toolkit.
Which raises the interesting situation whereby the game these haters are currently supporting (ie: TOR), is heavily based around role-play… the very thing they appear to be hating on in SWG. Interesting, no? I sure thought so… it kind of makes me giggle.
I have the very real feeling that TOR isn’t going to appeal to a lot of SWG haters. Even though they currently seem to be thinking that it will. Stay tuned on this; it will get increasingly messy for such people as the weeks, months and coming year pass by.
