It's not the cheapest game, but for a Star Wars fan it's the best possible thing. Just buy it and have fun, it is a perfect game for us. PS: If you buy it from Steam you wont have any rumoured problems. Everything works as it should!

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.

the game has almost endless amounts of missions. from main story lines, side missions, and expansion stories. there are a lot of microtransactions for appearance. its not necessary to get them but it allows you to create the perfect character for your best role playing experience. this game has held up very well for a game thats as old as GTA 5.

I been playing this game since beta, with 1 break of 1 year a bit after Rise of the Hutt Cartel. I remember with the many, many servers the day it was launched, and it looked very promising, unfortunaly back then, there where extremely many bugs and when hitting level 50 (back then the maximimum), as usual the game was released not really finished. The poor handling of the feedback caused many players to quit the game really fast. Always felt that the introduction of the Cartel market more or less saved the game, with slowly impleted updates that should been happend faster, like groupfinder, not possible to roll on gear " for companion( which was needed back then they had gear to be able to do their role). Not to mention the game engine always felt outdated. With up and downs the other expansions came out, which where good, some maybe a bit rushed with much unexplored area/lore/story. EA used this game and it's Cm to fund other games in development, and just meh about this game, which was getting quite clear with Bioware running empty, or releasing an operation unfinished. Since Broadsword has taken over i see slowly getting back better, in what the game should have been from start. Too bad not everyone is patient enough (yes i know the game is +10years) and always want more, better, faster etc etc... I mainly play because my love for Star Wars Universum , certainly with good old days of KOTOR. At the moment this is the best Star Wars game in my opinion. You can play for free, but as subscriber you have more access and better experience to the full game, just don't expect every month new stuff to do, it is more for relaxed players who enjoy star wars. Population on servers varies, also certain servers have more Empire and then Republic players and vice versa. The community is well...like every game, trolls and partybreakers are everywhere. I suggest to a new player to read up which server suits them best and look on several recommanded websites/discord for guilds that are helpful and supportive.
