PAX: Star Wars: The Old Republic's Player-Versus-Player Identity Crisis

By Nathan Grayson | PC Previews | Aug 29, 2011 11:50 AM | Comment

When people first heard that BioWare was developing a massively multiplayer online Star Wars game, they imagined galaxies far, far away and snarky droids that creatively mocked their frail, meaty entrails. They were not, however, crossing their lightsaber-calloused fingers for fetch quests and missions to kill X number of younglings. And yet, here we are.

But is that hatred justified, or is it just because gamers are a fickle and unruly lot who have turned many a molehill into a mountain, and many a perceived slight into an unfair reputation?
