Yeah its a new mmo under development by bioware, I beleive it is based on the kotor games, but unsure about that.
http://www.swtor.com is the official site for it.
Anyway, onto aion. Yeah, now Aion is the top hyped game in development on mmorpg.com. However, if you notice, it is actually drawing with 5 other games - so it isn't anything special. Besides - its just hype anyway - we all know Aion is best
.
P.S Has anybody else noticed lately that sw:tor dissapeared from the hype meter on the main page? It was leading with like 7.34, with all the others (including aion) on 6.something I beleive. They all seemed to change drastically recently - anybody got an idea why or am I just seeing things?
