So it turns out that Bioware might maybe possibly have some way of tracking recording of their games, and might maybe possibly have included it in the Beta they handed out like razor-lined Halloween candy. Thankfully I came across this info before I pulled down anything myself via fraps, so I didn't get to test out whether the rumors were true first hand. However, this means I'm not going to be editing any videos for release ASAP. No, the most I have from my weekend of running around TOR's finest is a handful of screen shots and some memories.
It's tough to tell how well TOR is going to do at this point in the game. It's succeeded including a couple of largely unseen elements into the MMO genre, but not enough thatnt my mind was blown away or anything. Of course, on the other hand it still has the names Bioware and Star Wars attached to it, which is pretty much a marketing team's wet dream. They'll inevitably have a solid player base for a while at least, but it's still up in the air as to whether they'll be making much money off the game. The expenses were astronomical from all reports.
