The Daily Grind: Why are people reacting so strongly to Stars Reach?

Ever since Playable Worlds fully unveiled Stars Reach, we’ve seen a huge wave of conversation and interest rise around this sci-fi sandbox MMO. This is especially the case this month as the title is in the middle of its quite successful Kickstarter campaign.

That we’re all talking about Stars Reach is a given, but why we’re all talking about it is what I want to focus upon today. What’s making this title such a centerpiece of conversation? Is it simply the “new kid on the block” factor? Raph Koster’s name? The genuine hunger for a full-fledged MMORPG? Star Wars Galaxies fans bringing their hopes to a spiritual successor? Does it simply look exciting and innovative? Or is it something else?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
