No

1. No open world PVP
2. Terrible support and patch time
3. Not much to do once you hit 50
4. Nothing is hard, everything is so easy so everyone can get it without problem
5. Bugs bugs bugs

Star Wars? Meh.

I don’t mind that it is Star Wars, although occasionally I think the IP will hang around this games neck like a squawking albatross. I can hear in the meetings now… we could do this really cool thing….. but we cant… cause it is Star Wars.

I am something of a fan of Star Wars, but it is not particularly why I am playing this game.

I am playing this MMO as it is currently the most enjoyable one out there right now.
I have a bad feeling about this

Nope: Was originally suckered in by friends to play based on its ip, was a refreshing change till 50 first time round mostly cause of its player base.

Nothing innovative:
Come fifty the same old same old happens raid, warzone and dailies and people turn narky as in other games
The stories seem to stagnate after fifty
No hidden quests etc (warhammer actually had these and actually kept me interested way past its used by date)
Nothing outside of datacrons to collect
Sideways decisions that split rather then unite the community
Pvp on a downhill slide
Eternal need to grind credits and lots of them for not much of a payoff
All toons look kinda the same
Too many missing basic features
No global chat

On the up side think that the future could redeem this game a bit for many as feature that should have been in game at release become more and more available with every patch, unfortunately many others will be playing other games by then ...
If I have offended you with my opinion, you should hear the ones I keep to myself!

Isn't the whole reason why companies make games of the IP is to get those players that love that title interested in the game? Isn't that the whole reason why? why ask a question like this..
Always be who you are, not what the galaxy wants you to be

to tell you the truth...no i wouldnt have played this game as long as i have,but the starwars fandom is quickly erroding. i hate to say it,but this game has nothing that WoW cant give me,and WoW does it 10x better.
TOR...the best single player game on the market

I can't answer that with a straight yes or no.

1. I've never played a MMO before so the only reason I'm playing this one is because it had Star Wars in the title. And no, I'm not a big SW fan, can't even name the titles of the movies, but I figured that it had potential. That said I can't really answer a question that revolves around "stilll".

2. It doesnt feel particulary Star Wars'ish now that I play it ...and I'm still playing.

Yes.

1) It's a BioWare game.

2) I have fun playing it.

3) The stories are interesting and fun to play.

I would never look at this game, if it was not "Star Wars".
Came back to play swtor 1.2

* Still no support for the pvp community.
* No open world objectives
* No open world pvp
* No massive pvp / star wars battle. "50 vs 50 / 100 vs 100 etc"
- Just the same boring warzones, 8 vs 8...

- Only reason I am still here is b/c of friends.

Would i still play if this wasn't star wars...


Nope. I like the idea of stabbing people with Lightsabers
"We chew and spit you out
We laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You'll know just where we come from"
