The whole Point of an RP server is to roll play without the damned Chat bubbles and a local chat how does one RP?!? Without using General chat?!? But yet every RP server is filled with NON RP chat in General!!!! Another thing I cant stand about this game!!!!! Dont get me started on PVP servers!!!!

your exactly right SWTOR IS KOTOR with GLOBAL CHAT...... Problem is KOTOR was Linear and thus so is SWTOR...... Now if Skyrim would only make and MMO now that would be a fun Sandbox!!!

Because the forum lacks in anytype of adequate search feature!

Wow the game promotes grouping.... Listen to that statement, the game is so linear and RPG like that THEY promote grouping because they desperately want to create a community in a game that doesnt have a reason for a community!!! Everything about the game revolves around you and your questline!!! So they have to Promote socializing!!! There is no need to promote socializing in True Sandbox MMO's ..... It comes naturally with the game..... For any of you that are old enough to remember the ORC clans that roleplayed as orcs in Ultima Online or the Pirates that lived outside of Skara Brae or Even the mobsters that controlled the cross roads! That was REAL community REAL RP real player vrs player interaction in a game from 1997 almost 20 years ealier then this! Can you name a guild on your server? If you can name one because you happen to be in it can you name two? probally not! Have you ever had a player repair your armor! Ofcourse not thats what NPC's are for! This game is so lacking in community and social features that dont stem from bribery its not funny! Just face the facts a Theme Park MMO really isnt an MMO at all its just an RPG with Global Chat!

Uhm what???!!! Scaling levels of mobs.... I cant even think of a MMO that does this and it definately has absolutely ZERO to do with being a sandbox!!!

Ultima Online Had the first Robust Crafting system Had the first player housing Had the first vendors It made just as many evolutionary leaps as Evercrack did and it was way more fun! With a larger playerbase!

Dont even try to compare this game to WoW I cant really stand WoW but WoW definately has A 1000 More things to do! At lvl 1 in wow you can: Herb Mine Fish Tailor Blacksmith Treasure Hunt Alchemy Explore You can Even PVP (As Pointless as it maybe) Just to name a few things! at lvl 1 in SWTOR you cant explore beyond the planet you cant craft! you cant do space missions you cant do pvp! The Only thing you really can do is the Quests so you can get off the damned planet!!!

if they did that they would chase me off the same way WoW ran me off..... I dont want more levels and more quests I want more content! Better Crafting better fishing better end game ! Balanced PVP .... CONTENT not more quests.... Not more levels not more gear to seek after!

Agree 100% except Ultima Online was the First great MMO not Everquest

Thats exactly the problem once I get my ship I have saved a planet from a Fallen Jedi and I have exposed a curropt senetor and I have saved coruscant from the Evil Black Sun.... My character has this long impossed history that I had to play out to get to that point! I am a damned Merchant and Crafter I didnt want to save a planet or Save the capital or do any of that stuff! I like to RP my character is a drunk old man not the savior of the universe as The game has forced me to be! I want freedom! to Craft at lvl 1 I want freedom to have a merchant character thats not force sensative or in the army or some sorta smuggler! I want freedom to go where I want at lvl 1 and start my business of making credits and crafting merchandise!!!! This doesnt exist in this game because its NOT a Sandbox its not even an MMO its a Single Player RPG with global chat!!!

And strangely enough in order to reach the XP required for lvl 10 is about the same point as you finish the questline on your starter planet!!!! Or are you planning to stand in one spot and grind mobs all day??? And you dont get your ship till lvl 16.... Which is about the same time you finish most of the quests on the 2nd planet! So the Tutorial phase of this game is 2 planets worth of quests!!! Why are you punishing people that just want to craft bye making them go thru all this other BS!!!! Let us Crafters, craft so we can then discover in a much more quicker time frame that the Crafting system sucks in this game... rather then making us waist two days of our life to be able to reach the content that we want to test out!!!

I dont know where this Bad Release BS is coming from this was one of the best releases of any MMO I have seen! However, this game is a fun single player RPG not an MMO.... And as I was looking for an MMO I will not be resubbing....

freedom of travel is a Sandbox, if I wanted to herb all day I could or mine all day I could.... Because I was free to travel and do what I wanted in essence this is the heart of what a Sand Box is...... WoW is a Sandbox that has features known as instances these instances are Themepark aspects within the game! You do not have to do a single quest in WoW. Your free to play your game the way that you want to...... The term Sandbox is only in reference to the map and the freedom to travel within it!

With the exception of Instances where in the world of wow can you NOT go on a character??? Heck if your a horde you can raid Stormwind or if your an alliance you can raid Ogrimar...... there is no zone your little level one cant walk into freely on his own accord..... The Freedom of Travel makes a Sandbox.... WoW is a Sandbox with Theme park features known as Instances!

Here are the facts! The release was flawless compared to most every othere MMO's release! The quest storylines are robust they compare greatly to the great quests you find in Pirates of the Burning Sea.... The cinematics are very good! But there is NO content, no community, no economy, pvp is way out of balance! This is a Mirror Image of Star Trek Online they released a similiar ThemePark RPG and the initial release had lots of subs because of its powerful IP, but STO is barely staying afloat! And that is the dismal future in store for SWTOR.... I think 120K in 6 months is being optimistic!
