Hello all,
Just a quick tidbit of background about me. First and foremost, I am a casual gamer+. I play more than the average casual yet I am not hardcore by any means because I work and have a family.
Now, my MMO history is not as extensive as most since Ive only played Lineage II, Aion, WoW, Rift and now SWTOR, but I must say, this game has captivated me like none of those have. I must also say that I am an Altoholic and love creating alts, so when I started playing and noticed each class had their own, different quests and progression, I was excited. You still have to go through the same areas just like in every MMO but thats where legacy perks comes in. Its the first game that has done this much for alts. They make it easier for you to just do the class quests if thats what you want to do, and for me, thats exactly correct. The other perks they have are nifty as well. for someone like me making 16 different characters, that helps me a ton. I only wish they had more character slots
The game is still new, it is by far unfinished, but gee people, it is still an infant in the MMO world. This game does have Mega potential. For those that rush to 50 and thats all they want to do is one thing at the end, you have to understand that you are a rarity, not the other way around. You have to undertand that you will be waiting on the masses. They have tons of server statistics to see where the majority is in the game to know how they will proceed. Granted, I wish we had more communication from Bio/EA, but the game itself is wonderful.
I agree with another poster about all the negativity in the forums being bad for business. If you have an issue, go to the suggestion forums and put in a positive critique. General session is not always needing to be negative. All you complainers out there are actually doing the reverse for what you want. You keep shooting something in the foot and eventually it will die. People need to be smart about their approach.
Anyways, if anyone actually read the entire thing, which in these days, im sure its like 1 in 5, I enjoy the game very much and am looking forward to the future for this game. If you are a new guy thinking about the game, give it a try, Im sure you wont be dissapointed, unless of course, you are one of the aforementioned type. Give the game time, critique it in the correct location in a positive manner, and watch how things turn around.
