But it is Star Wars. This is a silly question. Of course most of us are playing because it is the Star Wars universe. I wouldn't have played FFXI if it wasn't Final Fantasy. In fact, that's one reason I quit Final Fantasy XIV. It didn't feel like Final Fantasy. I want to play a Star Wars mmo. Why would anyone play an mmo in which they were not attracted to the world the game existed in?

Nope, however please read...

i think this was a loaded question. Primarily because the game is made simply by the fact of being Star Wars. The whole ambience and setting of the game is what makes it enjoyable. If it were another MMO, it would already be discussing going F2P right now. But because of the IP and the huge amount of material the Devs can work with, it's an amazing game with a lot of potential. Some of it's flaws are:

- Lack of End Game Content.
- Lack of Group Finder for FP's and Raids.
- Lack of a rated WZ option, though it's coming.
- Lack of available Character Transfers/Low Server Ops.

I probably would because I like Bioware games. I also like MMOs in general, though setting is a big selling point for me. I also like RPGs having stories, and if the game still focused on storytelling with a different IP, I would have definitely checked it out, and if that story was ok, I would still be playing it.

Probably not. It's not that there is anything wrong with this game mechanics wise.

The setting, story, lore that matters most for me anymore I'm just not interesting in other settings right now. I'm tired of fantasy games like WoW or LotRO. I enjoy the Star Wars universe.

There is probably only one other setting I'd consider playing this game if it was set in that setting, and that is an MMO that is the Warhammer 40k universe. But in a heads up, same game mechanics, Star Wars vs Warhammer, I'd pick Star Wars.

Nope. Only reason I started was Star Wars.

The reason I'm quitting is everything else.

Nope Im only paying cause my Dad does and when Battle Front 3 comes out we will make that our new game. Customer service in this game is probably the worst part.

Nope, I've never been able to play MMO's for very long before I get bored, only this and Star Wars Galaxies has been able to keep me. The StarWars IP aside what would make me leave is:
  • No meaningful rewards for open world PvP
  • PvP TTK is far far far to short
  • PvE content doesn't meet my expectations
For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left behind after eight of sleep and eight of work.

I have no use for medieval fantasy games - if it weren't Star Wars what would the game be?
