The Old Republic is a new MMO made by RPG legends BioWare with heavy story elements, dialog trees, blending in action with MMO elements, a deeply balanced and varied world taking place in the heavily storied and colorful Star Wars universe.
People seem to be excited by this.
This is the only explanation to The Old Republic’s massive shooting upwards in the pre-order charts. Other than the weekend beta showing off what the game is made of.
Apparently it was pretty mindblowing according to those invited and the new Star Wars MMO is shaping up to be a massive game, sitting comfy at the number one spot on the lists. It should be very proud.
