IncGamers: MMO Weekly News Wrap Up

IncGamers takes a look at all the big news in the MMO genre this week, including updates on World of Warcraft, The Secret World, Aion, Champions Online, EVE and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

"Fans of the upcoming Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, were excited to see information about the Sith Warrior class, which was revealed last week. These characters use a mix of deadly lightsaber fighting techniques and their strong control of the force to crush opponents.

Their armour can be heavy and intimidating, and often uses experimental components to boost the wearer's prowess. Sith Warriors also have no fear of biological upgrades, just take a look at Darth Vader for an example, so expect to see lots of implants and nasty-looking 'improvements'."

Sith lord OMG :D

[Maticus]

It's all about Aion for me. I'm expecting big things from that game...

[Malfurion]

Yeah Aion is the release of the year I reckon. 2 weeks and counting....

[thetamer]

Bring on Star Wars!

[Redrudy]

I wish I shared your excitement. I want to but it's just not coming.

[Malfurion]

For some reason, I feel the same. I know I should be excited, but after seeing the last few gameplay videos I'm less than impressed. I don't want an MMO where all the NPCs give you a speech every time you speak to them :(

[Panthers]

I do. I cant stand WOW because it is a RPG where story does not matter at all. I mean you can skip any quest you want. Whats the point? I love how Bioware is bringing story to the center of the MMORPG.

Now WoW was my first MMO that I have ever played, but I cant stand that. I guess most people just want to rush to lvl 80 and get gear, but that seems pointless to me.

[Dorjan]

A lot of things happening in the MMO world it seems!

[Medievaldragon]

Nice Sith clas is like ... Death Knight?

[Panthers]

I would say more like Warrior. They are the tanks I think.
