It's going to go, unfortunately. Without an Old Republicast show, I really don't see the need for a site. I'll just write my TOR musings on Multiplaying. Sorry, I really do feel like an ass for changing my mind.  |

TBH, I never understood why they had to broken out into their own thing to begin with. If the MP community is jazzed for TOR, then it just makes sense that a lot of MP site content will be TOR focused.  And so on for whatever the next big thing is. I think you're making the right decision. ^_^ |

Mostly because I like people and it would have potentially brought more into the community.
Many people are here from the WAR podcast (self included) so I guess a small part of me always wants to replicate that energy.

Still can, its all just a matter of how we present ourselves on the cast duder. Tis not the site, tis the hosts  |

Ya love Multiplaying crew!!! You can do it! Listen to the old podcasts and reinvent that energy. Instead of the word WAR replace it with star WAR TOR

Just let the format float a bit. Open with whatever is most exciting (SWTOR) but keep the parts about other games so non-swtor folks don't unsubscribe. Maybe move them later in the cast. People listen for the energy and witty banter, not the game info. When the hosts are excited, people respond better, so give them that.

If you're doing it for fun, then it should be fun for you and not work.
Are you planning on going back to a weekly MP podcast? If so, you could consider doing a MP show biweekly and an Old Republicast biweekly. Same amount of work, different focus every other week. Although I can't imagine you'd be able to do the MP show without talking about ToR. The MP show will most likely turn into a ToR podcast for quite sometime anyway I would imagine.
The Old Republicast site does look good. Could you just post all your ToR articles there and link them on MP? Eh, not sure what works best for you. I can feel your pain at letting the Old Republicast go though. Trying to think of ways you could compromise without adding too much work for you.

If it's too much stress and work, just cut it and let it go. Just a subsection of the podcast will be fine, or maybe a supplemental podcast every once in a while. Don't burn yourself out on it!
Oh, and I am DEFINITELY keeping my pre-order. I may be moving though, that means I'll have to come back to get my collector's edition pre-order, I wonder if I can download the client and everything at the regular time. That'll be a good question for BioWare, I guess.
Food for fishy, that's you!

Put it this way...
If you ever want to take a Friday off, and want to be on, let me know. If Odie is going to be on, we'll make that shit happen.

And if they lift the NDA enough for us to have a special SWTOR podcast episode for all the beta testers to chime in on, I'd be available too, though probably not much earlier than Odalus on Fridays. And I'll try not to drink a whole(well, a little over half) bottle of Jameson this time and get mauldlin and nostalgic, as a bonus!
Damn, looks like i need a new picture, or at least a new URL. I just love the Cthulhu TPS'reports F'TAGHN! picture, the thing is CLASSY.
There's this word, "territorial," that nature takes pretty seriously. When it's applied to a two-ton animal with teeth the size of bowling pins, that is one hell of a word. The sort of word you either pay very close attention to, or ignore and end up with a complimentary "Killed to death by a fucking hippo" tombstone. That sort of thing is really embarrassing for the family, you know?

And so on for whatever the next big thing is.
