The universe in Avatar is kinda his start on something with the scope of Star Wars.

I am pretty sure it will never make it to consoles just like AoC because can you imagine playing a WvWvW on a console with 100 people on screen? The console is probably going to explode because of all the heat and pressure, unless, they dumb down the graphics to quality where it looks somewhat similar too WoW(or worse) then it might work.

Makes me look forward to see if the sequels can become a good sci-fantasy trilogy like the original Star Wars trilogy.

I just hope they dont get dumbed down at one point or another to please the retarded wow crowd thats been created over the past years. someday....we will see NO themepark grinders and it will be all about the sandboxes ... Happen it will.... Wasn't this what one of the grandaddys of MMOS was? EQ. I mean it seemed like a sandbox to me in that you had a world to explore and before being dumb downed the leveling took time. Original Hell levels anyone?

If you're sad about endgame content, then you got there too fast. The way I'd like to see TOR go for endgame, would be additional story arcs added weekly/monthly. They could be single player or multi or both. Maybe an option that if you go on the story arc with other players it just adjusts difficulty by however many players. Flashpoints that are very heavily story driven would be great for this. I constantly see people complaining about pvp never being balanced. I'd loved to have seen more companion interaction. I only wanted to chime in on bits. Didn't they make Shadowbane for the PVPers? I am not sure if it is even alive anymore. Also Guild Wars had fun PVP (the random arena) is what I am talking about. Team builds such as IWAY were a problem from what I heard, but I am a PVE guy. I agree with you that companion interaction and additional story arcs are the way for this game to go. This game is meant for PVE where Guild Wars may be better for PVPers.

I saw the Star Wars fans and BW fans doing a great deal of hype, but I think BW and EA played it pretty straight. Exceptions: HD graphics Depth of FP All in all I got what I expected.

There was no hype. I doubt you will ever find a game that will come up to your expectations.
