Sounds like you need a break from all games. Go do something else for a while and then see how you feel. From what you posted it just seems like burnout.

It just isn't fun.

I'm only like lvl 18 and it's complete torture. I don't like how my character crushes everything in his path by only using 2 or 3 abilities. I buff myself then I do lightning or a special saber swipe. Every now and then I'll use a electick charge to stun enemies.

I would start another character, but I can't get over how every area I've been to seems closed in. I'm not going to compare this game to WOW...that would feed the trolls. Instead, look at Star Wars Galaxies. I really didn't like that game, but there was a sense of go anywhere, get lost, and adventure in it.

Which brings me to my next point. The adventure is there....I know it is but it's too few and far between. I start on my main quest and on my way I pick up half a dozen side quests. I need to pick them up b/c they help me level, but in doing so it drags the main quest on. I like the idea of a single player MMO, but theres too much crap in the way.

Few of the side quests have really interested me.

Eventhough SWG was flawed, there was a means to and end. Becoming a Jedi. Theres no excitement like that in this game. I'm wielding a light saber from the start basically. This is more or less having to do with the time period......I don't like it. I liked the time during or around the original movies.

I don't know I bought a 2 month card and I'm still on my free month so I'm going to continue to give it a shot, but I don't see this game being my MMO of choice.....or game of choice.
stopped reading this when you proved your idiocy by saying "single player MMO"

A perfect illustration of someone who has just plain gotten sick of mmos and either doesen't realize it, or won't admit it.

I don't see any mmo being your game of choice and the sooner you come to terms with that the happier you will be.

It definitely eases you into the game, but the difficulty starts to get steeper around the 30's. We're just sharp from seven years of MMO practice.

As for being made by droids, dude! There's a crazy amount of detail and a bunch of little references in there. Maybe you need to be a Star Wars nerd to see it, but some artists/writers/modellers clearly had a blast making this.
There is no try.

Whats a class with a bunch of useful actions and such?
I hear Sith Inquisitor is really fun and popular. People dig lightning attacks.

If you're not enjoying the game there are two things that can make a big difference. One, is change class. The classes play a lot different from each other, and you just may not be playing one that suits you. The other thing is get out of the starter worlds. Stories develop, skills expand, mobs become more challenging.

Any way, these helped me. Give it a try if you feel like trying to salvage your investment.

I agree with the first part. Some of us have higher expectations for our lives than 'life goes on' though.

Why do people act like leaving MMO's is like breaking up with a longtime girlfriend?

Christ's sake it's a *********** game, cancel sub, unistall and move on with your life you pansies.
