Star Wars: TOR: Terror From Beyond

BioWare har ikke just haft held i sprøjten med hensyn til deres MMO: Star Wars: The Old Republic. Spillet har nemlig ikke klaret sig forfærdeligt godt rent kommercielt, og nu bliver det tilmed snart endnu en MMO, som må lide skæbnen af at gå Free2Play. Men man må ikke kimse af denne basis! Mange mennesker har en tendens til at tro det værste om de spil, som går F2P, og jeg er en af dem, men faktisk viser det sig at være en mere holdbar løsning. Det giver spillerne mulighed for gratis og lovligt, vel at mærke, at prøve spillene og selv vurdere, hvor mange penge de vil skyde i projektet ved at købe diverse opgraderinger. Faktisk kan denne form for betaling vise sig at generere en større indtægt end ved månedlige betalinger.

Men nok om det! BioWare forsøger nu at holde liv i sin MMO ved at udgive updates til spillet hver 6. uge, hvor spillerne kan finde nyt og spændende indhold til deres spil. Næste udvidelse går under navnet Terror From Beyond, og på papiret virker det ganske fint og som en holdbar udvidelse. Så hvis du stadig har en Jedi eller Sith Ridder gemt inde i dig, som blot venter på at vende tilbage til den gamle republik, så bør du muligvis tjekke Terror From Beyond ud! Se videoen for udvidelsen nedenfor, hvor designerne fortæller lidt om de ting, som man kan forvente!




English version:

BioWare hasn't exactly been lucky with their MMO: Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game hasn't been doing all that well in eyes of the public, and very soon it'll go Free2Play as many other MMO's has done before it. F2P isn't a bad basis, not at all, in fact! Many people have a tendency of thinking the worst about the games going F2P, and I am one of them, but it turns out that it's often a better solution regarding financing the game than monthly subscription. It gives the players the opportunity to try out the game and get relatively far in it before donating their hard earned cash to the game on various upgrades and add-ons. This can, at times, generate a higher income than monthly subscription.

But enough about that! BioWare is trying to keep its MMO afloat by releasing updates every 6 weeks or so, where the players can find new and interesting stuff to add to their gaming experience. The next add-on for the game is called Terror From Beyond, and on paper it looks quite decent. So if you still have a Jedi or maybe a Sith Knight roaming inside just waiting for a chance to return to the old republic, you might want to check out Terror From Beyond. You can watch the official video above where the designers are talking about some of the things that you can expect from the release.
