Could you dub that... "Karmacide" ?

Hah, I still haven't seen any proof that the Jar-Jar gay porn I've heard rumors of exists.

Agreed. Given the quality of most recent MMORPGs lately, or lack thereof, to wit: Anarchy Online and World War II Online not to mention the grand suckfulness that is ANY recent game with the words Star Wars in its title, this game will be hard-pressed not to suck.
Come on people! Realize that it's pure commercial drivel, not art nor nostalgia nor some sense of art that makes this crap move. You bought the crappy plastic little figures in 1977, and you're still buying junk.

Linux MMORPG's (offtopic question) by Salsaman · 2002-02-12 22:07 · Score: 2, Troll

I keep reading about these cool MMORPG's. Are there any available for Linux ?
The problem for me is, my network cards are very unstable under Windoze, so I'd like to find one that does run natively under Linux.
