Today marks the availability of an MMO based on one of the unquestionably largest sci-fi (or science-fantasy really) franchises in history… Doctor Who: Worlds in Time!
…Okay, while that is true and Three Rings has opened up a browser-based casual game based on the popular Doctor Who franchise with a public preview, the larger release going on today is that Star Wars: The Old Republic is now officially available to everyone. Although the game opened a while back this month to players who pre-ordered the game, now anyone is free to pick it up and hop into the galaxy a few thousand years prior to the films.
The Old Republic has been hotly anticipated, long before it was even actually announced. Once a secret project being worked on by Bioware, most fans were quite certain that they would be seeing a version of Knights of the Old Republic, but online. Proving it was was easily one of the worst-kept secrets in the history of gaming, eventually Bioware announced that they were, in fact, creating an MMO set in an era close to when KotOR was. Given the success of KotOR, the love people have of Star Wars, and the popularity of the MMO genre, this was pretty spectacular news to most people.
Easily one of the most hyped games of all time, and potentially the most expensive game ever made, The Old Republic has finally arrived. Initial reactions among many players and the gaming media have been pretty positive, too. It is always difficult to judge how an MMO will do at launch, with games quickly rising in numbers only to fall a short while later, but this one seems to be off to a good start. We will definitely be keeping an eye on Bioware’s first foray into the MMO space.
Given the following the game had before launch, it is likely a safe bet that plenty of you have been playing it already. We’d love to hear what you think in the comments.
