Iam playing Skyrim at the moment and waiting for Planetside II. Sometimes I play World of Tanks and TFC2  and thinking about to do another free trial with Battleground Europe before it shut down. Was thinking also about to start WoW again after I didnt play it for 5 years, but not sure about it. It depends how much time I have, cant play that much always and dont want, there are more important things to do.

Skyrim... though i'll probably be playing that for the next year or so too   

waiting for TSW and keeping fingers crossed that SOE don't manage to make a pigs ear out of Planetside 2...  and waiting to see what becomes of GW2, but only for the PvP..  tbh, if SOE and Funcom pull a blinder then arenanets offering could get a good ignoring..  2012 seems very much to be a wait and see kind of year really

I won't say it failed, though it may not be as profitable as EA had hoped. There are some people who enjoy it, and some who don't. Also, I don't know if it's merely coincidence, it seems that the people who consistently enjoy it are the ones who haven't been on the mmo seen much if at all. Anyways, the leveling experience was fun and the better part of the game in my opinion. However, once I hit cap my interest in the game fell sharply.

PvE didn't feel challenging to me. As for PvP, that RNG system that for some stupid reason they decided to implement greatly frustrated me after getting 8 bracers in a row. Also, while I'm aware they tweaked a few things here and there, the combat fluidity is lacking. There are other gripes I had with the game, but I'm not going to make this post long winded. Anyways, SWTOR is like a flavor of pie. Some people will enjoy the taste, while others won't.

Anyways, I'm playing Kingdoms of Amalur, and I'm surprisingly enjoying the game despite the graphics, thought I do wish the game was harder though. Right now I'm just waiting for Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2, while keeping an eye on Secret World.

Back to WoW again for me. No matter how tired I am of it, all it takes is a new "AAA" MMO showing just how good the gameplay in WoW is. Over 7y since WoW was released and yet no MMO has had anywhere near the gameplay of even WoW vanilla, it's just sad.

My gaming time is very limited and as most MMOs are designed to take away as much of that time as possible while offering as little content as possible, I am having much more fun playing single player RPGs and multiplayer FPS games.
The thing is, I don't feel like progressing in a themepark MMO. The only thing really changing is how my avatar looks like and how big the numbers flying around are. The world is stagnant and frozen. Nothing you do will have any impact on the world.
In UO at least I could build my own house to the landscape. Or join a big guild and build a whole town and wage war to the enemies we chose, not the ones chosen by the factions.

Pretty much.

Personally I don't mind about repetitive pve content, just as long as there is enough freedom and choice in other aspects. And a consistent, immersive world which still plays a role for you at level cap.

But standing around in a shopping mall waiting for groups and queues to access the 95% instanced endgame content with the main incentives centered on upgrading your gear?

World pvp nor crafting offering a solid alternative to pve group progressing at max level?

All that in a highly unoptimized package with a lot of staring at loading screens involved?

I'm glad about jumping off that boat before my first sub payment. The ride to level 50 was very nice but the bottom line is that I want to be able to carve my own path in a mmorpg when I am done leveling, with solid, open world alternatives to instanced endgame content (fishing, mining, world pvp'ing, roleplaying). Even vanilla WoW allowed this to a much greater extent despite it being centered on raiding so much.

Only thing that made me quit was the performance. I bought new hardware wishing it would work better but no...

The end game content that was only raiding with 16man operations and wolrd pvp was unplayable because of it.

So i went back to Rift , even it works better at raids and pvp and i remember there was same problem with it just not without lag and responsivnes problems, only fps. Rift is truly a great game and i hope they continue making content to it.

Still playing SWTOR, because it's fun as hell.  

You got that right.. "fun" as "hell" ;)

(sorry couldn't resist)

I tried SWTOR got bored really fast and quit.

Currently playing Guild Wars 1 (recently restarted.. amazing game), some Lotro here and there, some League of Legends, some World of Tanks, Tribes Ascend (old school speedy FPS awesomesauce) and anything else I fancy...

 

Tribes FTW!

Civilization 5.  

After hitting Battlemaster on my Jedi Guardian, I stopped logging into the game.  Not sure why, was just like a switch that triggered and I immediately had 0 desire to log back into the game.   Kind of sad :(

Skyrim , KOA , Dustforce

Fallen Earth , STO

A nice mix of Guild Wars, LotRO and Vanguard, as well as Skyrim every now and then.

I am waiting for The Secret World. As that MMO seems to be at least a little different with open skill system. I also like the whole setting of that game, with the puzzles, mythology, etc.

Without trying to sound like a troll.. I don't have any idea why anyone cares what anyone else thinks of any game; unless it's one of my friends playing a game with me. All this hullabaloo about ratings and number (only worse casue it lacks any sort of reliable empricial backing) just seems so strange. Then again in this Web 2.0 , American Idol era I guess everyone feels the need to constantly express their opinion (and often times toss it of as "fact").

I have a jedi sage lvl27, and I can't log in anymore.  I am just too bored, but I don't know why, game is not that bad.

 I went back to WoW and LOTRO.

WoW has very beautiful zones, every part of the world is epic. SWTOR zones are nice but they are just too static (for example on Tython-was it so hard to make thouse stupid cows to move)

LOTRO have a great community. (I m on ex eu-rp server) I found LOTRO zones to be very immersive and beautiful too. SWTOR server I am on: Trask Ulgo eu-rp-pve has barrens chat on every planet...

Back to wow ! Leveling a few alts again, hunter, deathknight (both in their 80s now) and a low lvl mage. And having quite a bit of fun.

It actually feels quite open in the options you have, choosing which way to level and in what zone after the very restricted SWTOR experience.

I'm a long time member of these forums and I see so much criticism here of a game that has had one of the most successful launches in MMO history and a huge number of subs. It has had almost all positive reviews from professional outlets. In response to that I heard stupid comments like "they were all paid,etc", but prior to this games launch there were certain individuals that couldn't wait to post a negative impression of those same outlets about 1/2 year to a year ago. I guess they are only paid when they don't agree with you.

Throughout the first 30 days, all I heard was how the game was going to drop drastically after the first free month. That hasn't happened despite the duplicate threads here. On the fleet, the numbers at the times I play are just about the exact same as they were a few weeks ago. My guild has just as much or  more online at the same time. I have no trouble finding groups. Now I do feel this game has a large room for improvement and I provided that feedback to Bioware, but all in all its a solid MMO to a huge number of people out there.

To those people here who continuously critique TOR, please post the MMO you are playing and loving now or something that you think is better so we can compare it against  this game and try to figure out if that game offers so much more in features, choices, story, graphics, innovation etc that this game has to offer. I  want to see how those games differ so drastically from the WOW forumula and what made them successful. Just remember we have your forum history to compare against (except those that mysteriously only post here with like 10 posts or so) and the reality of how those games have done up until this point.

As a pretty experienced MMO player, I am more than ready for innovation and the next level of MMO, but denying that this game isn't even a half  step up from previous MMOs AT LAUNCH is incomprehensible to me, especially if you prefer PVE!

Oh boy, fanboi rant x10 - Here's what your post really said:

I think SWTOR is the 2nd coming, if you think otherwise you're wrong, and if you disagree post which MMO you think has better anything and I will tell you how you're wrong.

EVE Online... for my fantasy themepark fix I fire up DDO or Guild Wars (very rare).

I have not found any MMORPG that has good dungeons that I can spend hours inside. They are usualy for 30m-1h max and then I am at the end.

Well, i WOULD be playing SWG instead of SWTOR, that i have un-subbed.

Now, SWG had to CLOSE as per demand from EA to promote SWTOR.

Im sticking to singleplayer games now for a while.

Skyrim+LoL+Path Of Exile CBT :)

Speaking of singleplayers, im picked up Jedi Knight Outcast, from the time when LucasArts made good games, and it sure is a lot more fun than SWTOR, haha!

I gave up on TOR after 3 weeks, its the same as every other MMO I have played apart from it has a single player story.

Burnt out on MMO's completely but I will still be visting this website a lot as I like to still keep up with what is going on and obviously watching people have there hopes dashed by every new MMO that comes out.

EDIT: Also the world in SWTOR is so devoid of life its unreal, even in WoW I could believe I was in this world that exists with NPCs at least seeming to do things, SWTOR is static, with painted backdrops and corridor planets. If you want to anything that doesn't involve combat or collecting datacrons ONCE, then there is nothing to do, virtual worlds should allow you the freedom to at least craft if you want, or explore, or play mini games, do anything really but SWTOR is just combat combat combat kill 4 guys, over and over.

You will never recreate the buzz from your first MMO, this genre is full of these people, thats why so many people hate new releases. Junkies looking for that high that was just like the first, chasing the dragon.

I am not playing any MMO's after binning SWTOR, I am reading books.
