LONG TIME PLAYER since launch, before it was on steam. the stories are good, the best one is imperial agent. the worlds are nice, crafting is fun, or it was cause i am returning so i dont know now. there is a bit of a anti social aspect, they really need to make end game raiding a thing again. It is worth playing, and subbing if not for all the free content you wont have to pay for again after just a month of sub. the game feels a bit more vanilla WoW than new WoW cause it does not dump you full of abilities leaving you trying to figure out your class, and gaining levels so fast, your a 40 and still dont know whats up. but honestly when you take WoW 2006, and clone star wars over it, you get what you get. but its still loads of fun.

Game is fun. Lag can be really bad at peak hours, which makes the game unplayable. But the quests and stories are good. I wish there was more build variety. I guess they dumbed it down in Patch 7, which is a shame. If you like Star Wars and are down for a more relaxed experience you will enjoy

As far as MMOs go its the jack of all trades, master of none, except masterful storytelling. If you want to immerse yourself in the Starwars galaxy for a long time, this is your game.

You don't have to be a hardcore sw fan to play. All the classes feel great, I love the stories, and the fact that your character actually speaks makes me really happy. I played through a few storylines, and the most boring so far is the consular and even that was interesting enough to keep my attention till the end. Inquisitor was my fave so far. I didnt even notice I was using the free version because paying for stuff with real money doesnt get you anything super necessary until possibly late game. Paying the sub for this game is still worth it though if you're going to make this the one mmo you play!

I first played this waaaay back before it officially released and still find myself coming back to it. The gameplay is fun, the story is engaging. The VAs are all solid. The continued support, although not as amazing as it was during its height, still keeps me coming back. Cons: too many outfits have a butt flap. oh, swtor, I can't seem to quit you.
