JekRendar Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Why's this forum called 'The Old Republic MMO'? Shouldn't the 'MMO' be nixed considering it's redundant? The 'Galaxies' Forum isn't 'Galaxies MMO'. Not trying to be a pain, just pointing out this inconsistency. Apologies if it's been brought up before.

Tommycat Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think it's to differentiate it from the KotOR forum. Not to mention that The Old Republic is the title, but also an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yeah, I think that it is just for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawaJoey Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't think the forum is named after the actual title. It's just a descriptor for "MMO that takes place in the old republic." (I could be wrong though) It just so happens that the game is actually called: The Old Republic. I'm not sure why the forum isn't just called that.

True_Avery Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Its still early in the game. We don't even have the sections here named yet. But soon. Soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Section should be called SWTOR. Which seems to be the acronym everyone has adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRogueForums Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 What's the difference? It's the name of a sub-forum for crying out loud. In time, it will be given a proper name, perhaps, by those in charge. Until then, I think it's a perfect title- let's newcomers know exactly what it is about.

adamqd Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Section should be called SWTOR. Which seems to be the acronym everyone has adopted. But that wouldn't be fair on me as I have adopted the acronym tOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Sasuna Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 why is it a mmo this time not a regular rpg like kotor 1 and 2 why did they go with that? becuase with an mmo you have to pay monthly fees not everyone can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A subscription MMO is great...and I hope this one kicks WoWs butt. I've been a fan of SWG and played for many years. You can pay for a FULL year or a month or two. And the kiddies can ask their moms to buy a monthly subscription card at the store for them MMO is different in that you also interact with other players. As well, there is newly added content/upgrades. The game is constantly always under development..... Sometimes, there is even dynamic game play, meaning game staff play a live character at selected/specific times. MMO's grow and MMO's typically last a good number of years.....unlike a gm where you can finish in several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 A subscription MMO is great... Until the game dies, the servers shut down, and you won't be able to play the game for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_ax Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Until the game dies, the servers shut down, and you won't be able to play the game for the rest of your life. Most standalone/non-mmo games can be completed in 48 hours....lol then you toss it aside. By the time you're interested in playing it again you can't as it doesn't work on your new operating system. Not to mention.....you have to wait....sometimes years for the next version of the game.....if it even comes out. I played SWG for 4 (let me spell that, four...four years).....and many played it even longer. I'm sure, it's the same for WoW as well. It's not the rest of my life...but that's a pretty darn good run compared to any non-mmo game. An mmo sets the game apart from other types of games. You're in the group...so to say.

Prime Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Speak for yourself.Indeed. I still play KOTOR/TSL, JO, and X-Wing Alliance years after I first did. Good games are never tossed aside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as an example, those games (and many others) can be played with the newest OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microdotts Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 KOTOR wasn't an MMO, so some people may not know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
