This is not Star Wars

But the GCW era lasted a whole of 21 years, depending on your POV, most of the time their are a ton of Sith and Jedi and other neutral parties all over the place, which makes absolute perfect sense seeing as how the force encompasses the entire galaxy, you are going to have more than a handful of force sensitives at a time.

What you consider to be the norm is actually the complete opposite.

I completely understand and technically, you are right. I am a fan of Star Wars as a whole but that rationale when used in a MMORPG just leads to 80% of the player base being Jeedai or Sith.....which gets old pretty quick imo.

Whats niave is to think the movies are the end all be all. You don't have to know anything about an extend SW universe to know there is more to it. You might personally want it to be in a certain time period but SWTOR is not in the movie settings. Never has been, never announced as and most likely never will be.



No, whats common sense is people relating to the movies. The game is not a direct extension of those movies but a prequel of sorts. Our expereince may be the movies but if you came into the game thinking SWTOR was that then I'd say you didn't play any of TOR games or read anything about SWTOR MMO before it came out.


Point of view only (AKA opinion), we all have one.

I'm more attached to my SW toons they I have ever been in other MMO's simply cause of the individual stories. Even when making dialogue choices that mean nothing at the end of the day, it's more fun to answer quest dialogue in a way I want than some automatic text driven read through. The game does deliver, just not to you.



It's not immersion that causing people to leave. If anything, it's lack of content to be played.



Content is what keeps you logging in, not immersion. The game has immersion but the content needs to expand and grow and at the rate we consume it, it's very hard for any new MMO to keep up. It's the same I see in a secert world, or GW2 - We race through the leveling, finish the end game and then grip cause there is no content. Immersion is a very distant second for holding gamers.

But of course all that is also my POv and opinion so you see how the rest of the debate might go. Probably no where.

However, this game is very much SW. Wanting it to be set in the movie period is one thing but claiming it's not SW cause it's not played out during those times is silly at best.

Maybe your friends need to try reading a book or two.
There's more to Star Wars than just the movies.

So are you saying we need to read books now in order to get into this game.........Really?
LOL..........unreal.

He said nothing of the sort. YOU inferred that. He was just simply stating that the SWU is more than the movies and suggesting another source for you to expand your horizons.
