Is it that engaging?
I didn't find it so, but I prefer the sci-fi setting to wizards and monsters etc... and I get bored of reading lol.
Thought i loved City of Heroes, again more sci-fi so tickled my fancy more

Is it that engaging?
Im downloading the WoW trial. I'm new to mmos but I'd like to see what I'm actually missing out on
You never needed to, unless you wanted to do the lore. The attraction (addiction) was elsewhere. Maybe thats the prob with SWTOR for me, Im not really interested in a story on rails.
One thing about wow though is that there aren't a lot of new players so you'll be lvling alone most of the time.
Nah, but the content is quick, easy and fun these days
You can absolutely fly to a good level very quickly.
The crying and bitching over the past few pages is just pathetic. If you do not enjoy the game, then don't play it. You don't need to fight with other people and announce to us that you have cancelled your subscription - I'm sure that like me, nobody else cares what you do.
Let me just clear something up though, because some people seem to be having problems with it. This game is a MMORPG, standing for Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG.) I have seen the game compared to Skyrim. Why? Skyrim is a single player Role Playing Game (RPG.)
The mere fact that you haven't personally seen many players doesn't change the fact that SWTOR is a MMORPG. You may not have seen many players due to several reasons, be it server population, time of day or simply because of instancing. Comparing this game to Skyrim, or even WoW is just redundant and shows nothing but ignorance.
Well to sum up the last few pages. There's nothing massive, nor multiplayer about swtor. A few co-op raids called flashpoints. PVP servers feel like PVE. WoW the point we're making, if you started now, you can easily find groups for quests.
Yeah same on swg you would need a large gang to take down a kraut dragon to get a stone I think it was, which could then be used in very rare crafting.
Whilst this is true it only serves as a comparison in that they're both Star Wars games.

Quote where I said I don't like SWTOR. I said It's single player based. Never once did I say I don't like it.
Same, hate the storyline, don't care about it.
I agree with Glaucus, it's just a single player game. Nothing multiplayer and far from massive about it. Cancelled sub.
who compared the game to WOW? you know what WAR is right? that other game that sold a million copies and failed even though it was much more of an mmo than this crap is.
a suposed mmo where almost everything is instanced and the sole selling function is your single player class story! its laughable, they even have imperial and republic seperated into difference instances to keep them apart on a pvp server.............
apparently the war is all around us....
So you hate the storyline (main feature of the game) and you've cancelled your sub, why are you still here again?
no its obviously all a big lie , go by the game and post back your experiences after a week.Is this true?
I was hoping it was a big open MMO like WoW, and not like the 'MMO' guild wars claimed to be (I hated how things were in guild wars)
