Good post OP. I took my time with SWTOR, did not run out the first day it launched. I waited for the reviews to roll in, both by game websites and players. Also watched countless youtube videos. Did not start this account until the 4th of February.

Will be here for at least 3 months (Free month + 2 month game card), so far enjoying the game and is also the first time I am actually involved and enjoying the storyline cause if these quests were all text based, I would just hit "accept" and move on so in the latter case Bioware succeeded.

I don't understand the OP. You say you enjoy the game but don't give any reasons or any discussion points, this doesn't belong on the general forums. Put in on your blog or twitter.

Yeah, I really enjoy this game, it's cool but let's not get carried away. This game may oneday topple WOW, possibly patch 8.4

Skyrim was a nice distraction but hardly a replacement for a MMO.

So when I purchased SWTOR you can imagine how low I had the bar held... I was hoping for at least 2 weeks of enjoyment before going back to the World of Free Loot and wait around for china pandas...

I was pleasantly surprised!

SWTOR was not at all what I expected. I love it. I cancelled my WoW account and have not looked back. This game, for me, is the 'WoW Killer'.

So for all the people posting about their hate towards this game I hope that this post rings true for a lot of you too.
that wasn't very nice i was looking forward to the outrageous doom and gloom post to tickle my funny bone , you sir or ma'am made me smile but dissapointed me by not giving me something so retarded to laugh at o well ,good post now off to the dumber then dirt posts to whittle away the time till work ends

@OP; No you're not tired of pretending, in fact, you've just begun pretending.

No, I love the game a lot but it doesn't have the potential to be THE mmo most of us veterans have been expecting. I'm still looking forward to the point where it gets great on its own terms and not another huge grindfest.

I'm glad others are enjoying the game. I love it. I look forward to all the lovely things in this game's future.

I believe this post kinda describes the issues most people have with this game also.

I did not expect that much of it either but ehj its Star Wars so you have to pre-order :P
And low and behold, i love the game also. WOW isn't on my PC anymore since the first days of Early access.

OTHER people though, hyped the game so fregging much that they expected some kind of ÜberMMO to swoop in and replace WOW with better graphics, better story, better animations, better combat, better PVP, better PVE, better immersion, better UI, better addons, better loadingtimes, better FPS, better openworld PVP, AND More Start Wars....

And they wonder why they are feeling dissapointed.

OP you just had to come into the forums and tell everyone that you love the game because as stated by the other fanboiz only haters come to the forums.

By their own words if you really loved the game you would never have came to the forums.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

To answer the OP:

yes, for me too, SWTOR is the WoW killer.
Not because SWTOR is so much better than WoW, or because of has more end game options than WoW (in fact it has slightly less)
but because it is evolving and has potential to evolve, WoW has not anymore.
And above all because now that I've played SWTOR there are no going back to WoW for me.
I simply cant sub for WoW anymore, all my motivation for my WoW toons has dropped to zero. And I hate their lore, I've always hated it.
