Not that the game is horrible

But I get disgusted by seeing how they  had 200 million and produced this

they don't have a trial, do they? so you can't "try it". you can buy it or not buy it.

 

suspicious...

I tried it at an expo, and then I was in beta. I did not buy it.

See the flaw in your logic?

Really, no questioning it? Because i see pages and pages of people on here and elsewhere "questioning it". 

Personally, i'm playing SWTOR.  It's one of 3 MMOs I actively play.  Of the 3 - in my opinion - it is definitely the worst one and the one i'm least likely to come back to once I'm done with it.

Out of the 30-40 MMOs I've played over the years, TOR would probably make the top 20, but it would not make the top 10.   

I'm playing it, i'm enjoying it and i definitely think that it's totally "meh".  

 Heh , why do you even need to play SWtor when you can already see what's its all about?   My only question about it is ; are there any ship combats?  And when I say ship combat I don't mean STO crappy ship combat system where you got 2 hands crossed along the keyboard after being one minute into combat.

 Sprites in SWtor is a deja vu feeling , been there ,done that.  I want a hybrid star wars MMO where you got equal ship combat and ground combat.   It should of been like PlanetSide 2 where you get to be a droid or clone trooper and while leveling up you get the chance to get promoted into something better.   This whole Sith / Jedi in a Star Wars MMO is pretty lame , all the hype and millions invested for something so linear.   If CCP had those millions they could of made a WAY better job in creating a kick ass Star Wars MMO.

 Also SWtOR has nothing to offer a so called WoW veteran to quit and join Bioware's version of a star wars MMO.

 STWOR isn't just a "meh" , it's a HOLY meh. :P

I'm going to continue playing my one character to level 50. Currently I'm level 37.

After that I will cancel the subscription.

It's not as enjoyable as I hoped it would be. And I didn't even follow the hype. I guess that counts as a Meh.

Could you name your top 10 MMOs (that are better than SWTOR)?

As it Seems I have missed quite a few good MMOs over the years :P

Thanks,

First MMO that i purchased and didn't last past the first free month.

80% of the people who bash Star Wars, and vote "yes" on this poll, haven't even played the game.

 

I stopped my subscription after the first month, and I will activate it again after a few patches as I do with all new MMO's. 

 

But currently I am playing no MMO because there is nothing up to the same standards, and I want to save myself for when The Old Republic has some of it's faults altered.

 

I played TOR, and i find it to be mediocre at best. Same game, different skins. To many issues, bugs, exploits, and broken mechanics for a 200+ million dollar game and a year+ of polishing. Its not the best mmo on the market. It lacks features, depth, the star wars feeling, and so much more. Its got so many problems, i couldnt force myself to resub. Its the one game i never gave more than a 3 month trial. I just couldnt.

It felt like i was playing another mmo with different skins.

I went back to EQ2 and Rift. Much more going on there. And yes these games have been out longer, but should an epic company like BW try to match mmo's of today instead of trying to catch up with them? Its going to take forever for TOR to even be close to an epic mmo they claimned to have made. And day by day you see more flaws come to light, i just cant justify naming this an epic mmo.

Your mileage may vary but for me here are top 10 MMOs that i consider to be better than TOR (including how long i played it):

1.  Anarchy Online (3 yrs)

2.  Star Wars Galaxies (8 months)

3.  LoTRO (on and off for 3 years and going)

4.  Everquest 2 (7+ years and going)

5.  EVE Online (on and off for 3 years)

6.  Tabula Rasa (RIP - 3 Months)

7.  Shadowbane (RIP - 8 Months)

8.  City of Heroes/Villains (6 months)

9.  Age of Conan (4 Months)

10.  Fallen Earth (4 Months)

I like MMOs with a good story and with the exception of EVE, SWG, SB and EQ2, every one of these games had a much stronger story than TOR.
