Very cool! I liked this, nice job.

I started out on EQ back then, so interesting for me to see a game that old that I wasnt that exposed to then.

Great video guys and I am looking forward to future installments :)

I have to agree with you guys regarding the player housing. I think that's what got me so hooked into Star Wars Galaxies back when I played it (yes I did away with it after the NGE as many other did...). Like you said, you get more of a feel of your character and rather than just jumping into the game for a few hours, you are able to make it seem as if your character/ you are a part of a larger picture. I loved being able to log in and see how my fellow city members were doing, knowing they were a part of more than just a guild, but an actual physical community within the game. It's sad that I have yet to find such satisfaction like that from an MMO and I am hoping that there are plans in place to have player housing in SWToR. WoW just doesn't fill that void :(

One suggestion I might add for future videos as well is to possibly turn the in-game sound down quite a bit, as in this video it kept overpowering you Seraphina when you were talking.

A bit too much silly banter for my taste. A little is nice, but I'd like to see more discussion about the game you're actually playing in the next one even if it means a shorter video. It seemed as if a lot of the banter was just to pad out the episode.

No, it was mostly because I'm a big goof ball. Next time I'll tone it down, promise. :)

One suggestion though, maybe do a bit more killing or running about. Shiousi for example has a kick ass waterfall right near the starting area. I mean kick ass taking into consideration the age of the game =P
Less standing about as you talk would be the trick, maybe talk as you play? Try to imagine yourselves as some noobie to the game, the first thing most of us do isnt emotes hehe.
Thanks for picking asherons call, a game very close to my heart! Maybe Anarchy Online next? That game has changed a ton since release.

Very nice feature, though I have to agree on the speaker-bit, but that's going to be adressed, apparently, so I won't press it further. It seemed as if the characters had been played on before though, as one was level 5, but since I haven't played Asheron's Call at all, my observation might be useless.

I also thought of a fun name during the creation-bit: RunsWithScissors

Good one for mentioning the combat system - AC had an almost action-game like combat system where you could dodge spells and arrows, and run speed mattered a lot in chasing down enemies.. it made PVP a lot of fun, and it's unfortunate that new games just follow the WOW system.

The fact that players can move onto any part of the environment a lot more fun too - part of the fun was scaling mountains and traveling across the wilderness - I find that newer mmos just don't recreate the feeling of exploration in AC.
