My problem with MMORPGs

I'm a big star wars fan and I get excited when I hear about TOR. I loved the KOTOR games, so I eagerly await the next installment.... but then I remember it's a MMO. I have serious problems with MMOs. The KOTOR games were immersive, they sucked you in with great story. Now that it's an online multiplayer game... I'm worried about a few things.

Now, Bioware has assured us to the contrary that the single player modes will stand alone, and will be as story-rich as the KOTOR games. I simply find that hard to believe. It's not a KOTOR game with a multiplayer option, after all. Designing a MMO is a completely different monster. I remain very, very skeptical about what they're going to do with this game. After all, if they were really interested in just making a standalone, single player story, they'd just do KOTOR 3.

    I think if they do MMOs well enough they can be awesome...thats just me. I mean a lot of times they leave things to be desired but I usually enjoy them.

    I always thought a Massive Star Wars game would be the end all, for me it had too much hype associated with it.

    Hahaha! Yea, MMO's are just messy party systems. Why not play alone with a fully functioning party? Don't get me wrong, the social aspects of a MMO are fun, but they're also a lot of work.

    Good comic though. :)
