I just wanted to get an idea of who is playing past the free month. I subbed for 3 months and am quite happy with the game, but from the internet it seems that some people absolutely hated it.

I have to play at least to level 50 or the end of the main story line, so no less than another month. It's true that I am missing out on alot of the multiplayer enjoyment, but this is like two games in one (SP and MP) and I am having a blast by myself. Well, I did group a couple of times and kept wishing it was a group of SimHQ folks with voice comms. Maybe some more will join later and I will start a new character so I can "grow" with them at the same pace. As I might have mentioned before, the amount of fun I am having makes it worth the price of the game and at the very least two months of subscription.

BTW, I am keeping my little post updated in the other thread here titled " Star Wars: The Old Republic Friend Club."

I heard there are separate story lines for each of the classes/sides, so it's like a new game for each one. If it take you ~2 months to do one, that implies it would take close to a year to do them all if you wanted to.

I'm interested to know what the negative reaction has centered around. Too simple? Too shallow? Too much like other MMOs/not enough like other MMOs? Other than here and a couple of fleeting threads on Blue's News I've not really heard anything about player reactions.

Nope. Got bored before my 30 days were up.

Nothing to do with the game being bad just I get bored of MMO's and shouldn't have bought this one but I never learn!

The main source of vitriol I have seen is MMORPG.com. The gripes range from not being Star Wars galaxies 2.0, to being a WoW clone, to simple space combat, to giving founders titles to people that sub for at least one month. Basically many posters there are throwing as much mud as possible and hoping something sticks.

I'll probably continue playing for another month until my character gets to level 50 just to see the content. After that I'm done as, even though I'm on a PvP server, it really is a simplistic game at this point. I might come back and play later in the year if the PvP content gets fleshed out some.

I'm still playing.

Interesting. Makes me wonder what people see in MMOs period. I've never seen any appeal, but obviously millions of others feel different. Yet then many complain and defect for the same reasons I never play them at all?

Yah, I saw the founders bit too. Which I dont understand. If you are not going to continue playing, why do you care about a silly title?

Still playing, up to level 39 on my sage, Master Hyena Stormbreaker. Having a good time, but annoyed with people in groups who dont ask questions and/or pull multiple groups of mobs. Havent let a tank die yet, but I have sacrificed some of the idiot dps.

The pvp warfronts are nice, I like huttball and the landing party one with the turrets, but I hate the assault/defend map.

Ill give it another month to see how the lvl50 content is, if it sucks, back to skyrim and a short wait for mass effect3

My top most anticipated game for 2012.
