While the Star Wars announcement was big, it wasn't that much of a mystery. For me the Star Trek online announcement had me going nuts and put me in that prelaunch excitement a year or 2 before the game even launches.

Looking Forward to: STO and STOR and the Wheel of Time mmorpg

Pain is fear leaving the body..

The WAR Announcement had me.  Bioware announcement was also interesting.

PRE-CU STILL LIVES!

 Yeah, SWTOR.

 

We all knew it was coming, but that didn't stop it from hitting the gaming world like an ICBM.

I remember back in 1999, folks kept asking me if I was stockpiling food. I always answered, "No, I'm stockpiling ammo and making a list of people who are stockpiling food"

This is why I do NOT believe SW-TOR is the big story. EVERYONE knew. Why does that equal big news.

Tabula Rasa closing is my pick. We did not assume it would close THAT soon. Especially with so much money tied up into the game, and the constant "No, we are not closing" news press releases.

Duh!
