It'll be the same with TOR as it is with every other over-hyped MMO. It'll be labled as a "wow-killer" and sure it'll be great the first week, but then people start to realize that whatever this game has going for it, wow has everything else going for it a lot better. Just look at every other MMO that has come out in recent years. The only thing that seems to somewhat hold it together is Lord of the Rings online.
Good read man. The link to part 1 is broken by the way. Tibia was my first MMO as well. I played back in high school too. mostly everyone I knew played that game, it was fun as hell. I was never any good at it though. Mostly hang around good ol' plains of havoc trying to kill giant spiders with my paladin. In my town, tibia got real fast. It wasn't soon before people got beaten up because they did some stupid shit in game, like stealing swords and shit from other people they knew. think a few schools banned the game from being played on school computers, dunno why people could play on them in the first place though. The brother of a friend of mine became somewhat of a legend on his server for being the highest level. Christ that game was as grindy as it got. Still was fun, had a blast just trolling around rookgard blocking people in the minotaur cave. Too bad they changed so much of the gameplay to make it more people-friendly. But yeah, for better or for good, it was the people that made tibia great, not the game itself
