If you are 50 and a PvPer, why are you still here?

SWG wasn't good for a while, i mean when it launched it had major issues, no mounts, speeders ect... no player cities...

everything that made SWG great came later....
You see, why would we compare a game'S START THAT IS MUCH OLDER THAN SW:TOR to games now?

Ex. Comparing SW:ToR to WoW at launch is just as stupid as can be. They aren't go against WoW from 2004, they are going against WoW from 2012. As for SWG compare to what it was before it shut down, not at launch.

I am also quite dissatisfied with the PvP. I never really played WoW (just a little), my 2 big ones was Ultima Online and Guild Wars.

Both of those had amazingly good PvP, many of the old timers I played with still play on emulated UO servers because of it. GW was amazing as well, much more geared towards PVP ... but then again that wasn't really a MMORPG.


GW2 looks great... I had high hopes for SWTOR and it was great fun until like level 30, but the story element was too weak for a single player game yet it never felt like an MMORPG to me. Some wierd thing in between


PVP well, it just promotes lame behaviour especially in WZ. People are just in it to be announced so they spec for survival and spend all the time not dieing. So often you see people getting invincible and they have 0 deaths at the end and just enough to be awarded the 7 medals. 2 of which are from camping a turret with 5 others while the other 2 are not being taken. So you have more medals/dam/healing/objectives than them but they feel cool cuz they got announced. Stupid.

I have no idea why anyone seriously interested in PvP would pay a 6 month subscription for any MMO unless all they know is WoW, and compare it to that. Sure, I was pleasantly surprised SWTOR even had PvP, however for me it was a 1 month wonder. Rift to date has been the most successful start of an MMO I've ever played (but unfortunately the PvP endgame lacked). I'm really looking forward to Guild Wars 2 innovation of World versus World (WvW) PvP! Something different than the usual warzone & world pvp with ONLY 2 factions (gaud I'm sick of this basic model).

You nailed it SWTOR isnt an MMO, it is more of a single player hybrid pretending to be or disguised as MMO.

Good luck collecting subs BW

I have fun with the game. It's the first MMO I've played where I would like to level just about every class.

The PvP is alot of fun to me, I am however displeased with the longer queues. I'd like this MMO to become more of an MMO and start to improve server populations by a merge or Xserver bgs.

SWG was shut down.
Let this sink in, this game is Free to Play, boasts one of the most popular IPs on the planet and yet 76.47% of the servers are empty.
