I'm still waiting for my invite.
Just gotta ask, is it fun?

Pretty fun if you like storydriven questing and instances. If you're the type that skip quest text and whatnot in wow you'll likely find the quest text in TOR boring too.

Did a 4man to the first flashpoint/instance The Esseles yesterday, and it was pretty fun, boarding an imperial ship that's ambushing the ship you're on.

I'm not mocking or laughing, asking for real - having read what you guys are writing about the importance of storydriven questing, what happens once you reach the level cap (if that's even possible) or you run out of quests? I suppose, my question is - what is the end game about?

I  kinda felt the same when I tried it today, but then again that was only the starting area...  wondering how end-game will be like.

Still not convinced if I'm gonna buy it or not...

Yeah this is my lvl 16 perspective... Starting zone and coruscant are exactly the same in linearity, I just hope it open up later on, cause then it might be worth it.
The combat is very fun though. Space Combat is not.

Also one more thing I'm really not fond of; Even if you're on the same server, you can be in a different instance of a zone. Like Coruscant 1, Coruscant 2 etc.
Even if you can switch between them, it kinda breaks the immersion.

WoW is linear in going from quest hub to quest hub too, even more so after the levelling update from 1-60 with cata. As for the various world "instances" it's probably to balance it out, quest mob wise and server load wise. On both Taris and Nar Shaddaa, the 2 worlds after coruscant you get to, I didn't see multiple instances, even with 100-150 people.

On Taris you can choose between two ways round the planet, but it's a big planet, and just when you think you're done, you get thrown a bonus quest series. Nar shaddaa was better, mainly because you should get your speeder bike there. That's quite expensive tho, 40k credits for training and 8k for the speeder. Taris does have just one or two quest hubs per map, with the main road pretty much heading directly out of the map as soon as it comes into the map, you'll be heading outside the main path alot at least.

Seems we're all over the place. Me and my brother is playing republic on Tython Academy... it was the only pvp server without queues as we started.

Probably won't be playing much longer though, it's getting a tad boring.

">>It's the best leveling experience I've ever experienced in an MMO.

This. I dont even pay attention to my level so much, I just wanna get that sonofabitch who STOLE MY GODDAMNED SHIP."
Stolen from /. - very much to the point!

I really can't agree on that. Too much talk, too little loot and action.

As I said, it's a very story driven questing experience. If you don't like mass effect and dragon age, odds are you won't like TOR either.

I loved both mass effect and dragon's age, but for some reason, it's totally uninteresting in SWTOR. Probably because in an MMO, I like to play in a party, and this has to be the most unfriendly party mechanics ever.

Group conversation anyone ? That was epic experience.

Played Flashpoint through yesterday and it was a blast.

Few screenshots of my character. Yes the quality is kinda crap, since I turned it down while running WoW and TOR at the same time when I took these.

I'm currently playing on Hex Droid with Ali G, Furaxs and Worgz (who's already lvl 50 ofc, I'm only lvl 35 Sith Warrior - Marauder), and I must say, that this game is awesome as hell, eventhough it still have a lot of flaws.
To answer your question about end game content, Lamme. It becomes more like wow in the end. With end game raids and instances. and if you want more roleplaying, you can romance with your commanions, if you haven't done that already.

Seems like some classes even can marry their companions, like vette and others.

I'm torn on TOR. I kinda want to play it because it's Star Wars, but I don't really have time to do the whole MMO again. Is it worth getting as a single player?

While there are some group quests, and instances here and there, it feels heavily like it could just as well have been a single player game.

Its a shame we didn't start a TEO guild in some specific server. Though everyone wanted to be on a different side of the force, so creating TEO would be hard.

I'm levelling easy and enjoying my Inquisitor. Just dinged level 41. The story is just awesome, instances aswell. Inquisitor assassin is like warlock/rogue combo. You've got lots of ranged dots and ways to improve them and you also have stealth, vanish and lots of melee moves to go with the dots. And yeah, double bladed sabers! <3 the game.
