This week's MMO Report takes us back to last week's E3 at the Los Angeles convention center, and the show is so packed with content that Casey Schreiner and crew couldn't manage to fit it all into one episode. As a result, you can check out part one this week and wait with baited breath for part two next Thursday.
Speaking of content, Schreiner kicks things off by interviewing Nexon's Eun-Seok Lee and Min Kim about the forthcoming action title Vindictus. Lee talks about the game's non-traditional approach to classes as well as the free-to-play business model. "That's all we do, that's all we know how to do, we kind of invented free to play back in 2000," he says.
Chris Sherland, executive producer on LEGO Universe, is also interviewed on the show, and discusses the creativity inherent in the upcoming title. "We've taken the build metaphor across a number of different levels. If anybody's played the [LEGO] Batman games or the Star Wars games, it's very familiar [to] that early build experience where you're creating something in the world that's pre-determined, but you get that feedback that you've built something. We've that taken that to another level," Sherland says.
Finally, Star Wars The Old Republic writer Daniel Erickson discusses BioWare's decision to avoid demos and simply put the game in the hands of convention-goers, as well as specifics on the game's classes. He also touches on the much-discussed "Hope" trailer, which Casey accurately describes as "better than all three prequels combined."
Check out all the MMO Report E3 action at G4TV or after the jump.

I agree with you. The only problem I have with it is that you have a HIGHLY censored chat (since children play). I can't even ask for help or locations because I get so censored. That is too frustrating...so I will not be pre-ordering or buying the game live.

I agree also. Lego Universe looks pretty innovative. Now if only it featured full loot PVP...

+1 I really like how Casey can flip from serious to comedy and still nail it as a gamer. I think the suit adds some credibility at events. Nah-just kidding Casey-LOL. My 5 year old cannot wait for Lego Universe! It looks fun and I can't to play it as well with him. I hope there is an interview with the 40k guys but I heard they were being nerds and wouldn't reveal anything other than the trailer. The Old Republic looks pretty groovy. Is there any word on allowing us to mod the UI?

I know right? Seems like pointless TOR discussions are a dime a dozen these days. Still a year from release too! I'm very interested to see what they tell us until then.

Super lame that there is no mention of FFXIV at all this week or next, but that I suppose is to be expected of G4 whom tend to have an extreme hatred to all things JRPG and MMO wise.
Massively please please please keep up the good work on reporting news about FFXI and of course FFXIV, as you seem to be the only source that still covers both very well. I especially enjoy the Mog Log!

All I can say is this...
Possibly getting HK-47 as a companion is the most epic thing to be announced for SW:TOR, ever... Ever...
