Lonely Star Wars Companion Begs Me To Return To Old Republic
Electronic Arts may be bragging about the sales and subscription numbers for its recently launched MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, but apparently not everything in the galaxy is good. Today I received the e-mail above begging me to log back in to The Old Republic on behalf of my imperial agent's favored companion, Kaliyo.
For the record, my Old Republic account is still active; I just haven't had time to log in over the last three or four weeks. While it totally makes sense for EA and BioWare to use story appeal to pull players back in, I can't help but feel a little creeped out by this. I mean, yeah, I kind of miss Kaliyo, but she's just a character...right?
Damn it, I'll log on tonight. You win, EA.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
