AKA The Old Republic.

Anyone else playing this cartoonish travesty of an MMO? The graphics remind me of the Clone Wars TV show (the FIRST one).

Not yet, but soon (tm). My guildies decided we would wait until after the big rush to get into it. But it is one I have been looking forward to for a long time now.

I do plan on giving it a try.  Probably just after the new year for me.

I've been curious, but I'm not going out of my way to try it out. Knights of the Old Republic I and II were decent enough games for me - I enjoyed the old world, but if its just another rehash of the typical MMO format? meh.

it probably will be a rehash of the normal format of a MMO.  But I enjoyed KoToR anough to give it a try.

I have been playing and I have been enjoying myself. No it doesn't break any new MMO ground but it is an MMORPG that actually emphasizes the RPG part.
I am alright, it is the world that is wrong.

I have to give Bio props. Once again they have done an emphasis on story and done an outstanding job. The Sith Warrior campaign at least has so far been very entertaining.

I just wished it looked half as good as LoTRO.

So good story . . . poor (WOWish) gameplay and graphics?
