This week, the Massively staff has been utterly preoccupied with Star Wars: The Old Republic, but hey, an MMO launch this big (one million and counting!) doesn't happen often. Enjoy it! Savor it! Swing a glowstick! We've been scoping out SWTOR's queues, hype, more queues, forums, security, guilds, still more queues, launch secrets, and freeze mobs (what?).
If you're sick of SWTOR, just imagine: BioWare could have made A Game of Thrones Online instead, and you'd be sick of that.
Enjoy the rest of this week's top MMO stories beyond the break.
