It's very MMO'ish. Like every MMO that eventually comes out and gets hyped up. They all try to bring something "new" to the table, but ends up being just a same old MMO just different theme and story etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, SWTOR is a very good/strong MMO, especially, and don't quote me, but isn't it F2P now?
I played it when it was sub based. Only played my first month, never played it again. Only reason why I gave it a go was because I used to get into Star Wars when I was younger.
But the same happened to me with The Elder Scrolls: Online.
That shit was hyped, even had me hyped. I built a $2.5k PC just to play it, had guilds etc already set up. I did this only because I was a huge fan of the TES series, and as they said all along. "It's just a TES game but with online"!
Bullshit.. Same generic go here and kill 12 of this and collect your 12 gold.
SWTOR has a great community, just don't go in guns blazing because you MIGHT get dissapointed. But if it's F2P, give it a go. It won't hurt you... Literally.
