This post is part of the 12 Days of Geekmas.  Check out the concept here, and let NerdyAlerty’s blog feed your eyeballs as well!

Talk about a softball topic.  For this day of Geekmas I have to somehow find nice things to say about Star Wars.  This definitely is not going to be hard for me, despite how perceptibly angry fans of the IP can get.

I may have just roused a few of them with this picture alone..

So…lots of wonderful things to say about Star Wars.  I should just maybe bang home a few paragraphs and call it a day.  This being a (mostly) MMO blog, however, I’m going to limit myself specifically to Star Wars: The Old Republic…because there are some sticking points for me with that game, but like with almost every MMO I encounter, I can still find wonderful things to say about it.

This post was prompted by Syp’s excellent post about SWTOR, but I was otherwise diverted from posting this by other, shinier topics that came to mind.

“Dooood….”

In it, he discussed his feelings on the planetary missions of SWTOR and how the 12x Experience Boost for current subscribers rendered all of that work obsolete.  Is that such a bad thing, though?  In my mind, it isn’t.  And SWTOR isn’t the only one that could benefit from this design idea.
