As long as Gabe Armatangelo designs... that guy killed Warhammer, wich in itself is quite a huge franchise... now its Star Wars that gets butchered...

But no, runs out for good in about 11 days. im though.
Nice Singleplayer Game with Chat + AH.
...and thats the way the flatcake crumbles.

I'll keep subscribing to the game for now.

Why?

Simply because I'm enjoying it and I still have many things to discover in there.

Hope you like holding your pillow and crying at night. When will you guys learn that pinning all your hopes and dreams on yet another messiah game is a BAD idea?

Staying on SWTOR because its the best SCI-FI mmorpg for casuals like me..

EVE also good but its space combat focus, not ground pounders..

Until someone else creates better SCI-FI mmo (hopefully thats Blizzard's next MMO project Titan), im staying here..

Still on LOTRO as my fantasy elf n orc fix (tolkien fan here)

will be on SWTOR as long as they keep putting in more STORIES and social/casual stuff.. dont care about pvp or raids in every mmo

tl;dr - fun for a few months, then (like every MMO I've played) gameplay starts to seem overly simplistic and redundant and I unsubcribe

I've played the game basically continuously since release and I've generally enjoyed it, especially on my earlier characters when I was going through planets and quests for the first time. I played it mostly as a single player game, grouping occasionally for heroics and some of the flashpoints.

Inevitably though, I feel I've explored enough of the game to not find it particularly compelling anymore. The missions are almost all killing things, with almost no puzzles that I could find (unless clicking once on glowing blue things counts - the only puzzle-like thing I can think of is the 'Sith code' one on the Imperial side) and only rarely any peaceful resolution possible. I thought the datacron searching would be interesting but with the endless respawning aggro and unavoidably laggy jumping system I mostly didn't try.

The very corridor-like 'planets' don't help. I also wonder why places like Nar Shadaa and Coruscant are apparently nothing but angry gang members wanting to kill everyone and the like, but perhaps our characters simply never bother to go anywhere else because they crave the battle just that much (even the Jedi!).

I suspect too that I'd enjoy fighting things over and over more if the combat didn't feel so laggy and somehow unexciting. Perhaps in another patch or two Bioware will have fixed the slow response times and bizarre ability animation stuttering.

And, the endless little bugs, while none game-stopping on their own, eventually add up to make the game surprisingly annoying at times.

All that written, I have enjoyed the game for the past few months which is more fun than I have with most games. Bioware has created an impressive array of content, 8 different class questlines where even the 'generic' quests have a few unique lines based on your class. I do recommend that anyone with any interest in science fiction try out at least one appealing class, even playing it as a single player game if they like.

This game was released early in order to cash in on a Christmas money grab. To be honest, it feels like we're still playing in beta.

But each week that passes less and less people log in - guilds and noted players start disappearing, and the entire time I ask myself why I'm still playing this game.

Fortunately my own guild is really cool people and (quite frankly), if there was a better alternative, I'd ask them to join me there.
Guildwars 2 is looking to be a great game, have you seen the open world pvp they are planning to install that is going to be good also they said they are removing gear advantages and leaving it down to peoples skill, so in pvp enviroment people are equal in gear it comes down to skill so the game will be about having fun not grinding items just to compete.

You need to understand some people actually come as guilds and leave as guilds, there is others doing the same. So he would be speaking for his guild they would be deciding a new game to play together not all guilds dont form a active community.
