Been playing MMO'sn somewhere around 15 years now.
FFXI,EQ2,WoW,Lotro,DCUO,Rift, all the freebies in between and now this.
I spent the most time with FFXI and WoW out of all those mentioned.
I find this way better then any of them.
I don't feel like I'm grinding when I'm questing in fact I look forward to the next quest.
Story is something I always wished MMO's would have and my wish has been granted and done beyond my expectations. Swtor is by far the best MMO I've ever played.
