Those of you into video games have likely heard of this title by now. I was in closed beta for several phases.

This is a long post )

I don't think I'll get started on how, in the last four month, TOR has gone from one of the more customizable games out there, gear wise, to less customizable than the current iteration of WoW.

I didn't hear about that one. Wow. Still no Appearance tab?

If I had to make a prediction I'd say TOR will show the same life cycle we saw with WAR. Huge hype, massive initial box sales, and an equally massive drop off after two months. But take my prediction with a grain of salt. I'm the guy who never in a million years would have expected the MS Kinect to go anywhere, and it drove retailers like GameStop to $2 billion dollars in sales or something absurdly huge like that last Christmas. Maybe TOR will surprise me.

That's the gist I'm getting too. And I think the Kinect was a big seller on potential, I was all in for one too until I saw just what was in the Best Buy Kinect lineup. It was even more generic and casual than the Wii section.

I was pretty sure I saw the match appearance checkbox in the Thanksgiving Beta, but may have imagined it.
