I wonder what kind of loot those AT-AT Walkers drop?
It's just an EQ clone (and a star wars game, no less). All the graphics in the world isn't going to make it any less crap.
I find it pretty telling that they are just showing off graphics and scripted scenes, rather then saying anything about the gameplay or talking about it's features. I also like how they've already got an expansion lined up.

These two factors alone should make it sell by the bucket-load.
I agree with you that it will probably be rubbish ... i don't like MMORPG's anyway, but it will certainly be very popular.
You do have to worry about the gameplay of a title if the videos they release of it don't really show any gameplay. Well ... I suppose me and you won't have to worry about the gameplay, Osweld, because we won't be playing it, but I hope others aren't too disappointed.
If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

I really disagree. EQ worked very well, and Star Wars is a natural for an online game such as this.

I find it pretty telling that you didn't bother to actually look at the previews online of it, which include detailed descriptions of gameplay.

And regarding the expansion lineup:
This is a good sign for MMORPGs.
They're long life projects, and constantly need new material to keep them up to date. The expansion will add space and probably improve graphics. Since the expansion will have a long time in development, I can assume it won't be a rushed POS like the EQ expansions were.
The video didn't mention the gameplay because, well, why would you watch a video of a guy talking for gameplay?
That's what text is for.

So you don't deny that it is an EQ clone, and that it is a Star Wars game?
I rest my case.

They are selling the game through hype and eye candy. Rather then demonstrating gameplay or talking about what kind of new concepts and features they are offering to the genre, they just show a bunch of fancy graphics and a Star Wars logo. That gives a pretty good indication that the gameplay is just as much crap as it was in EQ, and that they are not offering anything new outside of eye candy and a popular logo.

It's certainly not an EQ clone, as it's nothing like EQ aside from it being a MMORPG.
Any moron who can read a preview can see that.

Look at the PC.IGN.COM preview of it, they talk about the gameplay.
The video showed off graphics because that's the people who were presenting (the graphics people). That's what's on video ,because talk about gameplay doesn't translate well to video.

The game isn't even done yet.
They are obviously just scheming up ways to sucker as much money out of their customers as possible - if they cared about the game, they would be adding it to the original product rather then designing it as an expansion at the same time as they are developing what is to be the 'original' product.
But this is, of course, not surpising from Lucas Arts and Sony.
The video didn't mention the gameplay because, well, why would you watch a video of a guy talking for gameplay?

This was from E3, right? I thought E3 was a gaming convention - not a computer graphics convention.
They go there to show what they have - Lucas Arts and Sony did just that, they showed a bunch of eye candy and the star wars logo.
I can safely say, that I probably won't buy one in the near future. No way am I paying a monthly fee for a game .
