Well as far as the Purebloods, enough of them fled to Dromund Kaas that after a thousand years of baby making they grew in numbers hence their reemergence. I don't mind them being in game, however I really hope they add a few more playable races.
I know D.E. has used the romance excuse about not making some of the races playable, but Look at Kit Fisto (Nautolan) and Aayla Secura (Twi'lek) they would have had a relationship together if it wasn’t for their devotion to the Jedi Order. They’ve also talked about the issues of certain races wearing helmets and masked. I don’t know why they just don’t make special helmets for those races?
I didn't play SWG when it came out because I wanted to play as a Jedi or Dark Jedi but because of the setting and lore at the time they were few. So it made sense that you couldn't play one. Then when they started adding the Jedi into the game i still didn't play it because its wasn't right. So I've been waiting and hoping for a new SW mmo that is set in a time when there were many Jedi. Now TOR is on it's way! :D
Besides that I am hoping that WoDO will keep to its Old WOD lore. Otherwise I won't play it.
I'm glad the companions will have more to do then just stand around in the ship. (Since you can't take them all with you on missions.) I rather have them do all my crafting while I'm engaged in the story arcs. Then again what does a Jedi need besides a lightsaber? (which is the only item I want to craft myself.) I guess my companions will need to craft all their armor and weapons haha while I'm meditating on being one with the force! :D
So you have a beautiful looking game vs pvp, scams and now wannabe suicide bombers. Whats questionable is a company that supports these types of degenerate behaviors.
I would be disappointed if it didn't have permadeath. Since its apart of all TT and LARP roleplaying games. It would ruin the immersion if it wasn't included. Besides a game that aims to be focused on social interaction would do well to include it. If theres no permadeath then the game will be nothing but pvp and everyone who wants to be a Prince will be fighting all the other Prince wannabes. A lot of players having no real experience in WOD/V:TM TT or LARP will get into the game and disregard the roleplay mechanics (since this is an original roleplaying game) and just pvp. Permadeath will fix that problem.
The people that don't want permadeath most likely never played the table top game or LARP version. Permadeath should be the accepted norm for this game. It should be expected.
