Everyone can use a feel good moment to start the day. Let’s go with this…
Thanks to everyone who send me some answers to the prying questions regarding SWTOR preorders that I posed in my last column.
Here are a few from Reloading… readers and tweeters
Will staggered early access prod you to buy SWTOR earlier than you would normally?
- Nope. I haven’t always been a patient man, but I am now. – Richard via email
- Yes, already got the DD edition pre-ordered – Harry via email
- I am a beta tester and cannot comment on how that experience might have impacted my decisions. Instead, I will pretend I was only following the game. If I were 100% sold on it before ever touching it, I would pre-order regardless. If I were on the fence, I don't think this move would persuade me to order any earlier. – Danny via email
- No -- @iamhewhoisnot via Twitter
Can a cardboard box be considered high quality?
- Yes. Much like leather, cardboard is available in a variety of thicknesses and it can be hot-stamped, embossed or treated for durability or to allow for further decoration. It also can be manufactured to meet a wide range of multi-ply, foam and corrugated specifications. – John via email
- It can, but not really. -- @BelLamron via Twitter
- Plastic maybe, cardboard no - @WVGravehunter via Twitter
Thanks to everyone who followed me on Twitter. I went from 11 followers to 65 or so, which in my world is a big deal. Thanks!
I’m traveling for the next couple of days, so out of necessity Reloading… will be short and sweet. Heavy on the short, light on the sweet.
Here are some entertaining links to keep you busy while I fly, cab, walk and weep.

MMOG Burnout - Design Problem?
What's the answer to MMOG burnout? Anacche has been pondering the problem and has come to the conclusion that if you can't change the player then you have to change the game at a fundamental design level.
Is the carrot-on-a-stick model most MMOGs use to keep players parked at their keyboards past its prime? What needs to change in order to keep players connected with their game of choice longer? This thread has sparked some interesting conversation. Add to it!
