This is really not the case for me coming from several years of WoW i think SWTOR is a fresh air. I can mention several things that is not found in say WoW:
- Companion (several of them)
- Crew skill
- My own ship
- Voice acting
- Strong story connected to each character
- Strong history of starwars and feel of connection
Personally the storytelling and Voiceacting is the biggest reason i like this game, not to mention i grow to like my companion allot. I never feel alone
i dont say SWTOR is totally original, sure it has taken lots of good things from other MMO's but name me one MMO that doesnt borrow something that works in other MMO and reuse it.
Any way if you like the game you play it otherwise stick to what is fun for you, no reason to stick around if you dont like the game, there are so many other games out there. for me this is the best choice in MMO today, this might change when GW2 comes out for today is today and i really enjoy this.
