Sarcasm works better if you're coherent and can use proper sentence structure.

Very true but then again EQ2 is the exact polar opposite of SWTOR. It's not all about slamming to the cap and raiding. There's plenty of collection quests, social quests, crafting and many other non-linear fluff content to keep a player interested for a long time. EQ2 isn't exactly for casual players, though. It's fairly complex and deep. I'd be willing to say it's the last true MMO made with old school MMO design. This would explain it's moderate population. SWTOR is just a "jump on play for an hour or so" type game. The story is interesting for the most part but it's not complex or time consuming in any way. There's no "fluff" to occupy people and make them want to play for more than a little while at a time which I would define as a hallmark for MMO games. It's just a very streamlined, linear experience that is perfect for a single-player game enthusiast who wants to try out a MMOlite style game. For me and other MMO gamers that isn't enough to keep us paying and playing but for the casual crowd it's ideal. To each their own.

GI gave it a shining review as well. They don't generally do 1-10 number reviews on MMO's since they aren't a single experience and can change alot over time. But again reviews are nothing but a single persons thoughts on a game. Their enjoyment of a game is no more or less valid than anyone elses. It all comes down to individual experience. I don't like this game at all but some love it and others are on the fence. Citing one review by a gamer, even a game journalist/reviewer, is not a great way to decide if it's a game for you or not.

I wish this guy would go play the game he loves so much and quit spouting his trademark "Doooooom dooooom" in every thread he perceives as negative. Back on topic, my server is the same way. Pop is low every day no matter if it's peak hours or not. Getting a group is nearly impossible so I just gave up and skipped 95% of the heroics and FP's rather than stand around and spam for a group for hours on end. This problem is a big reason I didn't resub for the second month along with a laundry list of other problems.

In the end, forums or not, the game itself will be judged on it's own merits. To whoever said that any constructive criticism is being convoluted by all the whiners and haters...Bioware didn't listen to us while developing the game. Why would they start now no matter how "constructive the criticisms are? Bioware has a God Complex problem. Maybe it's because two doctors are running the company, I don't know. They believe that they know what's best and won't have anyone tell them otherwise, even the gamers who are buying and paying for their games, so forums or no forums they're going to do exactly what they want regardless of anything said here.

What he said with a bigger font for the no.

Speaking of safe..isn't that close enough to exactly the same to be some sort of copyright infringment?

I think I saw a guy last week who said he liked it. Oh no wait. He said he liked pudding. sorry my bad.

I am not level 50 but i have several characters in the 30 range. Why? Because I spent $75 on this crap and by god I'm gonna get my money's worth like it or not.

I think many of us are getting beyond that selling point. SWTOR will do nothing but damage the Star Wars IP further with it's mediocrity. Don't expect to see another MMO using GL's liscense. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...you know how it goes.

Loyalty to a game company who threw out a half-baked game with horrible support and that told us the best thing to do after capping out was to reroll and do the same quests over and over because they forgot to put in a decent endgame? They also forgot to put in a decent start to mid-game. I'd like to say...my loyalty is to the company that doesn't spend 200million bucks on a single game and actually cares about it enough to give me somthing they're proud of. This game is all about money, not the game or the gamer. It will end badly.

Dunno, never made it to 50. Got bored quit playing, started over..repeat..repeat...repeat..unsubbed.

Very striking visualization. I agree 100%. There are moments in epic games where you have no choice but to sit back and marvel at the gradeur of certain areas or set pieces etc. Star Wars (the movies) were all about those amazing moments where somthing just blew you away with it's monumental beauty. TOR is just mediocre when it comes to that. There's no moment of awestruck excitment at seeing a city or landscape or anything for that matter. Couple all that with a mediocre game and you have a poor representation of what Star Wars is suppose to be.

Pay no attention to that Blotter guy. He will inevitably come in to any post he perceives as negative and try to blow his nonsensical BS at it in a pathetic attempt to be Bioware's #1 excuse boy.

Already unsubbed. I think after 2 months I've seen pretty much everything the game has to offer. Aside from a complete overhaul of the mechanics, graphics, gameplay, writing and changing the engine to somthing less horrible than the Hero Engine....ok basicly starting over from scratch I'm going to write this game off as a total loss. They got 75 bucks out of me. I think that will be quite sufficient.
