I think its funny how people are so critical about this MMO. There are alway flaws and bugs in a game. This game just launched its not going to have everything that every other MMO has. There going to have to build up like all the other MMO's did. Just because certain things are on other MMO's does not mean that it should automaticly be in this one at launch. They have to make all these demands work with the gaming engine. To many people want to compare it to other MMOs instead of just waiting to see what they are going to do to fix it. I think this game has alot of potential and we have to wait to see it. i mean WOW had every single issue everyone is complaining about  right know on this forum but it took them 7-8 years to fix it and they still have crap messed up. ( I also play wow so dont jump down my throat and i have played since the start.)

decent review but of course the last major update made the UI completely customizable to the gills... 

I love it and have re-subbed for a 3 month +1 free month subscription since they just gave loyal players a free month.  which is awesome.  I forsee lots of fun for me...

I've completed 2 level 50s so far and am working on 6 more... each story is nicely different and as long as you do each class in the game you get a good level of fresh content plus some rehashed stuff.  but the personal storylines are epic by far. and that is what keeps me intreged to see what happens next, amazing game.

Thats not even true.

Alts have to redo 90% of the same content on every single world.

You don't get "fresh" new content outside of a class quest which are far-between one another.....

I reaize you like the game, but don't sugar coat it.

I for one really enjoy SWTOR. It's the only MMO I am playing at the moment and sticking with. Yes it is a bit repetitive in places, but there is lots of good ideas - which I think will only get better.

The only other game I am waiting excitedly for now is World of Darkness - I might have a look at The Secret World as well.

Sick and tired of WoW, and Guild Wars has never done it for me.

Roll on something totally new and exciting coming along someday...............

In terms of end game PvE SWTOR is really good. Not that many players actually have done Denova hardmore raiding...Pockket for one I am betting here.

But, for PvP guys it looks as if ranked warzones may make 1.3 or 14 at the latest. With a PvE LFG tool coming to pull you guys into PvE content then we are talking a very good mmo for the 2012.

From everything I every read PvP never seemed to be the strong point.  PVE stories seemed to be their seller.

Longevity 8/10, that was nice for an afternoon giggle.

Well...

This website DOES advertise MMOs in the background and in AD space...

And publishers WOULD want high scores...

AND reviewers DO want money...

Connection?

No offense, but I'm pretty sure the reason why it did so well to begin with was because it was less grindy and had a lower barrier of entry compared to the MMOs of that time.

The game has by far more longetivity than a launch game, which was when this review was posted. Most MMO's have a single leveling path from beginning to max, besides the unique starting zones per race. After a few months or year after launch they might release a seperate leveling path, but each class of that faction follows it whether your a Rogue or Paladin.

The storylines in SWTOR is by far the best leveling experience I've had in an MMO, and there's 8 of them. That alone puts it above any themepark MMO when longevity is concerned, at least at launch.
