Kicked off a year and a half of dust on this site, and added some new content.  This site’s clearly going to be less a blog and more a place where I put up roleplay and game information for my teammates and fellow players.  So if you fall into those categories, check out the renovated My Characters menu up above!  Four of the characters I play so far and way, way too much roleplaying information about them, hopefully with more to come.  Maybe even some of Tohru’s characters too, eventually.

The truth is, I’ve been enjoying the game a lot but the new single-player content’s left me cold.  I created this blog in anticipation of all the things I’d have to say about the story, and… well, it turns out it’s barely a story at all, so the blog hasn’t really been necessary.  The basic premise behind these chapters is a great idea but the execution, in my opinion, was sloppy and passionless.  There just wasn’t anything there for me to sink my teeth into.  As a quick amusement it was fine, but as the self-proclaimed successor to Knights of the Old Republic, these Eternal Empire, Eternal Throne, and Iokath yarns disappoint.  It’s a shame because they had the opportunity to do something really fun and new for an MMO here, and instead they seem to have just phoned it in.

It’s not like they were concentrating on the multiplayer content instead.  PvP and Ops haven’t gotten much of an update in more than a year now, though I grant that the revamped Flashpoint system (story mode, stuff like that) has been a very welcome addition.  I love this game because it’s a fun space to meet and spend time with my friends, but these chapters that the devs seem to be funneling all their resources into just aren’t doing it for me.

Senya’s lightsaber and polesaber both rock, though.  That needs to be stated.

On a totally unrelated note, I’ve also started disabling comments on these posts because I’m sick of the spam.  Maybe I’ll leave comments open for a week or two and then close.  It’s not like the reader comments are just flooding in or anything, so really it’s a moot point.
