Wow To Swtor Conversion

Which is better: Star Wars: The Old Republic or World of Warcraft?

This completely depends on what you're looking for.  WoW is easily the most polished MMO when it comes to its end game raiding.  If thats all you care about, then WoW is probably for you.  SWTOR, though, has a vastly better leveling experience, and makes it actually enjoyable, rather than a chore to slough through to get to end game.  And being able to actually do solo content as a healer or tank spec is *really* nice, so that you aren't forced to play a spec you don't like simply to be able to do content.

Why would I need an additional security code for my Star Wars: Old Republic account?

I've played World of Warcraft since near launch (a few months later). In that time I've had many friends suffer from account hacking. These are computer savvy folks with complicated passwords.When Blizzard introduced the authenticator many of my friends and guild mates bought one. Since then no one I know who uses one has suffered from account hacking. I'm not 100% sure if that's universally true, but I follow a few WoW news sites and haven't heard that authenticators have ever failed. When accounts get hacked its a major problem. My brother-in-law had it happen to him. He lost everything in-game, as well as having our guild bank cleared out of high end materials and gear. We quickly made a policy that guild bank access required authenticator protected accounts. So, in summary, yes, it's worth it. It will save you the heart ache and frustration of losing what you've spent so long building, and potentially helping those you game with. The only thing it will cost you is a few seconds to fire up the app. Small cost.

Is World of Warcraft worth its price?

Worth is subjective. It’s like asking strangers, “Is Hawaiian pizza yummy?” I will say yes, but my wife will say no.It costs $63 Cdn to buy the latest WoW expansion. The base game and all previous expansions are free. To play, you need to buy at least one month of game time which is about $18 Cdn. I haven’t bought the latest expansion, because I cannot justify spending $63 on a game I hardly play these days. However, I have spent about $7,500 Cdn on the game since I started playing it in 2005. You might think that’s a lot, but that’s spread out over 13 years. In that 13 years, I’ve made a few hundred thousand dollars from various sources. So to me, $63 is literally ‘bus change’ or just over one hour of work for me.Mind you, while John suggested playing up to level 20 to see if the game feels right, the game won’t feel right because all of the good stuff happen after level 20. It’s easy levelling to 20. For someone who has played other MMO games, you’ll be able to do it in about 3 hours or less.I would suggest you hold back from buying the latest expansion and just buy one month game time to go with the base game. That way, you get to level all the way to 110 if you can, within that month and get a feel if the game is worth or not.https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us...

How much did Star Wars: The Old Republic cost to make? How has it earned back that cost?

EA have never released figures, but industry analysts put the development costs at between $150 and $200 million, which makes it the most expensive game ever made (GTA V bypasses it only when you include promotional and marketing spend as well). As for earning it back, I would imagine that it did.  In 2013 the game made $139 million just selling items through the in-game, "Cartel Market".  Once you add the purchase cost of the game at launch where they sold over a million copies, and the short period where they were taking subscription fees, they must have made the development cost back (although I guess not as much profit as they would have hoped for).  The fact they're still actively developing new content for the game suggests it remains a money maker. Star Wars: The Old Republic -- the costliest game of all time?Star Wars: The Old Republic vs. World of Warcraft OnlineSWTOR's Cartel Market Rakes in $139 Million Dollars in 2013

Trillionaires: What can one do with $1 trillion that cannot be done with $1 billion?

1: Start giving money to politicians, but say that you'll stop if they don't repeal all the anti-trust laws. (Money left: 950 billion)2: Buy (or attempt to buy) Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Motorola, Quora, all the ISPs, all the news channels Wal-Mart Stores, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corporation, big book publishers, TIME Magazine, Businessweek, Wired Magazine, State Grid Corporation of China, and Space X. (Money left: $0)Some of these might not be feasible (Walmart, for example, makes almost half a trillion dollars each year), but if you can't manage to get a controlling share of the stock, then see if you can buy all the biggest competitors and make them desperate enough that you can. 3: Once you have that list, you could control all the information flow in the world, And you could make (more) money easily. Just make a new iPhone (You don't have to worry about patent lawsuits, just buy the company that owns whatever you want), put good reviews in Wired, stop people from talking about how bad it is (if it is bad) on the internet/news and if it is good (why wouldn't it be, you have the biggest R&D fund and can take risks) that's even better. Or just raise the price of gas/buy your competitors. (Money left: 10 trillion)4: Now that you have a gigantic amount of money, simply buy the US government (giving yourself complete control but still letting the people currently in power work on their own for the most part). Move on all English speaking nations, then China, then every first world country, then everywhere except the Republic of Nauru. (Money left: 49 trillion, virtually all the money in circulation)5: Use inter-government cooperation to colonize Mars. (Money left: does it even matter any more?)

Is it still worth getting the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic games?

100% worth it.I only downloaded SWTOR the day after 'The Force Awakens' came out in the UK, in my desperate attempt for another Star Wars fix. I cannot stop playing this game even now, 3 months later. I saw the advert for it on Origin and thought it was interesting...I was shocked that it is F2P, and I have been totally blown away by just how good the game actually is! It is set in a compelling time in the Star Wars universe, with great characters in a fantastic storylines, and it is very immersive: you make your character, you choose whether they will follow the Light or Dark, you choose the conversation options that you like in the story. With the option to play on RP, PVP, or PVE servers, the game suits everyone's needs.Overall, as someone like me who enjoys games but never really saw myself as a hard-core gamer, SWTOR has captured my heart and imagination...it is EXACTLY what I wanted from a Star Wars game, and I couldn't be happier. In fact, I have to tear myself away from the game at times because I actually have to get things done. If you like Star Wars in any kind of capacity, I would say that this game is definitely for you. Playing the Jedi/Sith/Bounty Hunter/Trooper/Smuggler/Agent of your dreams is a fantastic experience. So yes, the game is worth it.

Should I cancel my Star Wars: Old Republic account over EA's support of SOPA?

Personally, I didn't boycott any game publishers over SOPA. To be clear, that's not because I support SOPA in any way shape or form, but because doing so would be a misdirection of my anger. The people at EA declaring support for SOPA aren't the people making the games. Games are made by programmers working at studios affiliated with the publisher, or in some cases, owned by the publisher. The publisher's beliefs may not reflect the beliefs of the people at the studio that created the game. Bioware never released a statement about SOPA as far as I know so it would be easy to lump them in with EA (EA does own them after all) but it doesn't necessarily mean that the people that made SW:TOR support SOPA, and in the end, if that game does poorly, the people who made it will feel the backlash, not the execs at EA who decided to dump money into the ESA in support of SOPA. So, if you like SW:TOR, keep playing. If not, stop. Don't let politics interfere with it.
