Is it just that the other 7 don't appeal to you? Or are you maybe stuck in the old MMO "my character is me" frame of mind? Again, I'm not trying to say you're wrong for your play style, I'm just curious as to what makes you not want to experience the other stories in the game as well.

Heck, to me, thanks to the different animations for mirror classes + light and darkside, I have 16 characters total, one of every AC in the game with one of each class being LD and one being DS. I'll eventually experience each story twice, though each one will be through a different perspective thanks to the LS/DS system. I did the same thing in KOTOR 1 and 2.

My biggest problem is sticking with one story at a time... at this rate, the LFG tool will be out before I ever even experience end game (though I am trying my best to finish up my Vanguard).
Not everyone want's to have 8 characters, and seriously. If we have to level all the classes in the game to enjoy the game, then there is something seriously wrong.

Because the first story line I played wasn't really that good.

I met a general who loses and requires me to get back like 5 super weapons for him. It got old the 3rd time I did it. When it comes to story a true single player game is WAY WAY better

Plus 1

By the way, I still remember when in Beta they said "You can get to level 50 just by doing your class story missions".


We were so naive back then.

I've played several. After 2-3 characters it really becomes a grind. The only variance is the class missions.. the rest is repeat. The legacy expansion in 1.3 will hopefully make the experience much more enjoyable though since endgame is where it feels less repetitive since you're progressing rather than getting to where you progress.

I cannot play through the same content 4 times per side. It's too static, boring, repetitive. I just can't, no matter how interesting the class story might be. So that's why.

I have 6 level 50's currently and my goal is to have 16 (1 for each advanced class on both factions). I had 18 level 85's in WoW before I quit and my goal there was 20 (1 of each class on both factions).

Questing and leveling alts is what I do best and enjoy the most. But that's just me.

#1) the empire doesnt interest me at all, played a couple in beta anyways and making another imp character is at the bottom of my list of things to do.

#2) yeah the class story is great but you still have to do all thise side quests again, after #3 it really starts wearing on you , id rather just save a couple of classes for later on, when this game is finished and the leveling experience is 10x more entertaining, same thing happened in Rift.

Leveling alts isn't content, its what you do when there is no more content at 50 or there aren't enough people on your server anymore to do content with. I played WoW for 2 years before I ever started seriously leveling an alt. In this game I started one after 2 months. I've got 3 50s now in a game that is only 6 months old and my server is a ghost town. This game wasn't advertised as the MMO where you level alts for content, it was advertised as a normal MMO. Leveling an alt should be something you want to do to see how another class plays, not something you have to do due to lack of content.
