Star Wars: the Old Republic

I'm seriously looking forward to this release. I've been watching the "development" site for what seems like a long, long time. I've really enjoyed the KOTOR games, and thoroughly enjoyed playing a couple of MMO's...so this may be a enough of a "fit" for me to jump it with both feet. Also helping out is that fact that I'll have a couple weeks off of work staring on or about the 20th...

I think Blizzard has some concerns over this games draw. They recently announced that they will give you Diablo 3 FREE if you agree to a 12-month subscription to WoW. It's a great idea on their part; because even if you leave the game, they're still getting their money.

Blizzard is making WoW far too mindless. To the point that it is taking the fun out of the game for me. Then they announce the next expansion as freaking Panda's... Really? It's like Return of the Jedi all over again. You went from the biggest baddest dragon in the game... to fuggin' kungfu ewoks (Panda's)?

I know that WOW is the grand-daddy of games...but to be honest I think that Blizzard does a poor job of running it, and I find that the game tends to be mindless most of the time. I want some challenge and some variety...not the endless grinding that WOW seems to be. There's a reason that I didn't end up progressing past level 30....yet made it far further (in terms of hours played) with DDO.
