The exorcist: That old Republic - Most Anticipated MMO Since World of Warcraft
It is a fan base with two costuming regiments, the 501st Regiment "Vader's Fist", and also the Rebel Legion. It is the franchise that George Lucas literally built from six movies, and has thrived through the Expanded Universe and earned the dubious distinction to be the greatest grossing franchise ever: we're talking Star Wars. As of right now, there are two Star Wars MMO's available on the market - Galaxies; which is generally considered the "How to not run an MMO", was released in 2003 coupled with the possibility to stay in the positioning that Warcraft is within, but due to mismanagement has become a sparsely populated game being phased out December 15th, 2011. The other is Clone Wars Adventures which is an in-browser gamed according to "The Clone Wars" television series which shows on Cartoon Network and updated after new episodes are freed. Losing Galaxies leaves a rift in the space that LucasArts had invested in the MMO market. Although Galaxies is generally thought to happen to be a failure, there is a new hope in Star Wars: The Old Republic and when all indications are true, this can be the main one game to knock Warcraft off the mountain.
Some back-story: The Old Republic takes place in the aptly named Old Republic era over the The exorcist Universe - exactly the same timeline because the heavily critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic and lesser so Knights from the Old Republic II: Sith Lords. This really is about 3,995 years prior to the events of Episode IV: A New Hope whereas The Old Republic happens about 3,600 before the movies. That old Republic (hereby abbreviated as ToR) is going to be developed by the makers from the heavily acclaimed RPG, Bioware and will see a release by mega giant company, EA Games. ToR was announced in 2008 and has been under development since, and with every video be it game play, or even the absolutely stunning pre-rendered video - leaves people with the jaws dropped and hungry for additional. Based on Swtor.com/forums, there are more than 1,000,000 active users around the forums discussing the game by February, 2011 (pre-E3 2011 hype). Combined with the release of in-game videos, and rendered trailers, there have been comic tie-ins on StarWars.com for the game, and continually updated details about classes, factions, and other experiences on the SWTOR.com. Unfortunately, lately June, 2011 a release date and playing price (which is estimated to be with $15) is not released, but EA, LucasArts, and Bioware have confirmed the game is slated for that later 1 / 2 of 2011.
