If this game was not Star Wars would you still play?

If this game wasn't Star Wars, what would it be? I don't understand the question. You take Star Wars out and everything would be white Or just jungle, desert, no npcs, and no characters.

No.

The PVP content is lacking.
The game is too linear.
The game has fallen victim to the "CareBear Stare"

The question is, would it feel like an AAA MMO without the star wars name, and licenses. And the answer is a resounded "NO".

To me it doesn't feel like an AAA MMO, even with the SW namesake.

If this game was care bears I'd still play only because there isn't another mmo out there atm that I'm not sick of...but as soon as one does show it's ugly face.....peace!

Heh
I have to laugh at the people saying Hurry Game X
I just see it walking the same path as TOR, and everyother game before that
I remember when everyone was saying TOR cant come fast enough, now its GW2.
GW2 will be a solid game, but torn to shreds by its players, and then they will start hyping the next big thing.

No

1. I hate the idea of MMOs in general, and have never had an urge to buy any before.
2. I don't like being forced into pointless combat just to get to the other side of a field.
3. I hate the armor system used by the games (light armor is way too light).

The only reason i am resubscribing at all is because it is a Star Wars game.

That brand is about the only good thing the game has going for it now.

It needs a macro system, a "star wars" quality space combat system (like the "X Wing" and "Tie Fighter" games managed to do nearly 20 years ago in DOS.), better guild management and abilities, and it has a class system for the class I play (guardian) that feels genuinely haphazard and tossed together.

I am hopeful it will come together though, because I have been a Star Wars fan most all my life since it first came out.

And yet here you are on the forums.

Yes.

- I don't play Force users so I couldn't care less if lightsabers suddenly didn't exist :P
- This MMO has the best server community by far, though this depends on which server(s) you decided to pick. Friends list is getting very full rapidly, something that rarely happens in WoW where most of your grouping is from cross-server players you'll never see again, and thus treat you like trash.
- Best story - I get really attached to my characters. Some day I will finish every single class storyline.

The key word here is "still" play, suggesting that we have played the game. I bought the game because it was Star Wars, not because it was a sci-fi MMO. I never would have purchased the game if it wasn't Star Wars
But...if I bought the game because it was a sci-fi MMO, would I still be playing it after having spent some time on it?
The answer is HELL YES. I love the game. The story telling, and voice acted scenes are amazing. I love the combat system, the graphics, etc. Yes the game has problems...just like EVERY SINGLE GAME EVER MADE! The best part about it though is that this is an MMO...and we can get things reworked, and improved over time.
And just for the record...I am a huge MMO fan, being one of the original subscribers of EQ1, DAOC, etc...and yes even WOW and RIFT, and some other unmentionables. SWOTOR is hands down the greatest MMO launch I have ever seen. If you disagree then you either jumped on a MMO bandwagon months/years after launch (cough cough....wow), or you have never played an MMO in your life.
The game needs some improvements....TO BE CLOSE TO PERFECT. As it stands now, it is unquestionably the most stable launch of any MMO I have ever played. and is an amazing game. Now if they could just fix that whole PvP thing...
