Did this game deliver on the hype?

I'm enjoying the game much more than I have pretty much any MMO I've played in the last 8 or so years (Shadowbane was more fun but it was my first big PvP game so I figure it is largely clouded by nostalgia). Really the whole thing is an issue of preference, but for me, yes it more than delivered what I expected based on hype. I am not a fan of the Star Wars universe at all and find it a pretty campy/dumb setting but the story in the game is frankly amazing for an RPG and unprecedented for an MMO.

PvP is enjoyable if presently lackluster, I suspect/hope this will change but I never envisioned the game as PvP Mecca anyway.

Crafting is better than most games, though shallower than I'd like.

Everything else is gravy imo, all of this said however note that I'm an exceptionally casual gamer these days due to family/friends/school/work etc., so I am easier to please than some.

I guess this poster is pretending to be in year 1999.

you must of missed the part about them constantly saying incredibly balanced and dyanmic quests that werent "kill x number of rats" where as i am looking at half of my quests that are "destroy x number of x"

or the part where they said they have measures in place to prevent faction unbalanced i guess 5 sith for ever 1 jedi is balanced.

or the fact that a few classes steamrolls other in pvp when they said pve and pvp would both be balanced.

or when they said they had end game content to keep people busy when there are 2 raids per week to do?

Love the game, definitely exceeded my expectations and is a ton of fun to play. Can play around solo, can group with friends, and have found it easy to pick up with random strangers when assistance is needed.

Who cares.

They were honest and straightforward with what they were delivering from the start: an MMO with a huge focus on story, a sequel to KOTOR one and two in such a massive size it was said to be KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. An MMO with 8 distinct classes with 8 distinct stories, all unique.

Did they deliver that? Absolutely. Fact is, this game has satisfied me as a sci fi fan, a star wars fan, and a KOTOR fan, purely on the basis of story, characters, and progression. I will continue to play as long as there is content I have yet to see, and I couldnt care less what some neckbeard has to say about threat meters.

Have a nice day.

For me? No.

I wanted the game to succeed to the tune of $225.00. Three boxes/household accounts at $60/each, and 3 subscriptions from January to February for another $45.00/total.

Just considering the $75 for my account, I do not feel it lived up to its hype, or even to being a decent 2011 launch MMO.

And no . . . I am not comparing it to WoW-- which I left in 2009, anyway.

no need to defend it. The subscription numbers speak for themselves and the numbers are good despite what you think.

Add in the fact in less then 1 month we get patch 1.2 and the official oceanic release and subs are going to rise again.

You don't like it that's fine but don't expect anyone to feel sympathy for you not liking it.

Nope.avi

This game is a 6.5 out of 10, at best...

Maybe by March it'd be a 7 out of 10.

Released 6 months too early.

It will get better with age, at least a little bit.

I don't think I have gotten a single quest that says Kill X number. I have gotten bonus quests that say that but never actual quests.
