Maybe I'm just sick of MMOs. Star Wars: The Old Republic is out and since it's a new Massively Multiplayer Online game I am playing it. I can't say I'm having the most fun. Mostly, I'm just bored. I can't pinpoint if it's the game or if I'm just sick of the genre. Maybe it's because the game won't even have a guild bank until March. If the MMO industry needs to fix one thing, it's that they need to stop releasing these games in an unfinished state. TOR is fairly well done, but it's clear that it could have used a little more time. Then again, the fact that this game took them six years and hundreds of millions of dollars is a little odd.
Star Trek Online goes free to play next week. It's hard to believe it's even the same game. As per the aforementioned statement, STO was released in a severely unfinished state, and two years later it's probably to the point that it should have been in when it launched. The game has a lot of promise now, let's hope 2012 is a better year for 2011 for them.
