And even then you go to the SAME EXACT AREA FOR EVERYONE. This game has almost 0% replayabilitiy outside of class quests. Because I'll tell you listening to the same people with the same issues sucks. And for WoW not having a story line. It did, 99% of people were just to *********** lazy to read. Quest logs involved probably 4x as much text as there is in TOR. so let me get this straight my leveling experience in WoW was much different than my main character i leveled? last i checked i had the same quest later on class quest got completely removed from the game and tbc wotlk and cata was very linear. WoW did have a storyline but none of mattered until the raids hell vanilla kinda didnt even make sense naxx in EPL...... when everybody knew it was in northrend. dont bring up KT was suppose to come back stronger guess what blizzard copied and paste naxx into wotlk and he said the samething. at the end of the day WoW is just as linear as swtor but atleast swtor has a class quest line to follow through. honestly since leveling is fast in this game that gives this game alot more replay than WoW by far.

Apparently, you missed the fact that WoW had multiple areas of content for the same level while leveling. In fact, it's so linear that despite giving you the "option" of going to Nar Shardar first and Taris second, it actually bugs out if you are a Trooper.

Instead of posting "stopped reading" you should take a dose of the truth and deal with it.

Why isnt this game called Star Wars: The Old Empire?

To me that is a single-player game characteristic. In MMOs you have a 'PLAY value'. If one is basing an MMO on replaying multiple character types, then I just don't see that as a long-term winner. MMOs and the typical players who play them, dedicate their time to the development of A character (or the occasional alt or two). There is a dedication or link to their 'main' that keeps them coming back. To progress. To grow that character/avatar. If this is to become "The Alt Republic" I just don't see that as a very successful model in a sub-based MMO.

But what they DID do was immediately and absolutely eclipse the market leader at the time it was released (EQ).
