im guessing ppl who dont rate the graphics 10/10 have crappy computers, neither rift nor wow at max settings even come close to this game. that aside (mmo vet 14 years mind you) this game is leaps and bounds ahead of every other mmo made, this game actually feels like an rpg (no auto-atk). i remember eq1 where combat consisted of hitting A (auto-atk) and hoping you win the battle via RNG. but this game wins because of it's story and detail to classes. graphics and sound are amazing, gameplay is rpg-like (1.5 gcd makes abilities require thought instead of the 1 gcd of wow which is a "who can spam buttons faster" fest), but story is what puts this ahead of everything else. tera is coming out and does not feel like an rpg at all, combat is real-time (think soul caliber 4) and the story is non-existent, the only thing tera has going for it is the political system. but tons of ADD ppl will love the soul caliber gameplay, they will get their controllers out and have lots of fun! but that's not for me, if i want to play a console game ill get my console out, if i want to play an rpg ill play swtor.

Big Wall of Text crits you for over 9000. You die. Without reading a single word ALL i can say is... DUH!!! That is why it is under the MMORPG section when you look it up. There was no doubt this was an MMORPG, your post is redundant at best and irrelevant at worst.

healers get it the worse, full dps classes dont need dual spec, tanks could use it, but dont need it since they can dps/pvp in their tank specs, just switch gear/stances is all it takes. healers are hosed, they MUST have specs for healing AND dps, there is no inbetween. but everyone should get it since this game has pvp, no reason not to have 2 specs when you have 2 aspects of the game...

35% run speed at 14 90% mount at 25 100% mount at 40 110% mount at 50 much better than most other mmos as far as when you get mounts.

wtb addons and a combat log, id love to see how hard im hitting or what killed me when i come back from afk...

this, tho i have the physical key, i didnt use it, i use my iphone instead. but i dont like typing it in every time so ill probably drop it, it's not worth it (i just wanted to see the crap in the vendor).

the original trilogy is a direct parallel of the Imperials - Great Brittain and the Rebel Alliance - USA, so answer your question yourself with that in mind. but in the movies, the Imperials are right in both cases, prequel and later, the the whole war is caused by the jedis need to eradicate the sith (not the other way around mind you), the whole war was fought and lost by that case alone, very lame imo since the jedi code is a lie and the sith code is something we deal with on a day to day basis in the real world...

OP is clearly a troll, it is very easy to use paypal worldwide and even order gamecards from amazon worldwide.

respecs should be in the game, i am simply not respec'ing again until there is a cap or dual spec, it is simply not worth the time or effort, and like the op said, pure healing is simply not cool, and hybrid specs only do so much. the people who say deal with it or whatever do not play healers, it's healers that have this problem and healers only, dps can have 1 spec and never change, tanks can have 1 spec and never change, but healers always have to respec from heals or dps depending on the situation because there are many cases where healing is simply not useful and where it is mandatory. tanks can dps just by changing stances, not a big deal for them, no need to respec...

this, i seen many cloaks...

last quest of bonus series causes an instantaneous and computer-ending memory leak, many people have reported fried computers. i only got half-way thru the bonus series on the way to 50 so i never saw it, i always played taris on ultra max settings and had 0 lag so it's most likely just this one quest. so far the only way out of taris is the imperial fleet cooldown once every 16 hours once you get to this point.

pwnd? after getting a romanceable character to 10,000 affection i dont even notice the difference, sure there was a fade to black on the way but with all the grinding i simply ignored it and kept going, it simply does not matter at all and does not affect the game in any way.

8-11, faster if sith warrior, slower if sith inquisitor, not sure bout jedi, unless you grind mobs you wont be 12 before you get the lightsaber, doing every quest on the start planet and still was no more than 11 when leaving the planet.
