I'm sorry, did someone just doubt Star Wars' mass appeal?! :P
There was way more doom and gloom about WoW's beta. People thought the cartoonish graphics and all the fudged up lore would put the masses off. Boy were they wrong.
EDIT: that isn't to say I think it will be a "WoW killer," I have a sinking suspicion TOR will end up too much like LOTR (I still have hope for it tho). But I don't doubt its mass appeal. So far it is the only MMO that I have heard people talk about IRL, before its even been released, and without me having brought it up.
