I played this game at launch, but only got a handful characters into the 20s, and one to 33. I dont recall why I got bored, but I did, and then moved on to many other games. I probably tried just about every mmorpg out there, with you know, the one some would say is the most popular, that I wont mention, being the one I always ended up back to. I still got bored with that one though. So I tried other stuff, like BF3, BF4, H1Z1, Dayz, Fallout3, Witcher3... just too many to list. I put a good amount of time into them, but then I just got bored with everything and would often find myself just working, or browsing the news to scratch my desired to sit in front of the PC.
Over the past 6 months or so, I started watching Star Wars - The Clone Wars, with my 5 year old boy. It became sort of a little tradition for us. We finished that and just started watching Star Wars Rebels. We are caught up on that show now, and I started thinking about SWTOR. I started again about 2 days ago and got my BH from 33 to 39. I have to say, it has been a fun 2 days.
Anyway, the moral of the story is... if you are bored, go binge watch those two TV series, and maybe you'll get the same renewed motivation to play as I did.
This game has so much potential, because who doesn't like Star Wars? I hope they keep it around a while, expand, improve on it, and heck, maybe even put some real space exploration into it.
