Ah, I misunderstood you, then. I withdraw my previous comment.

Silly Gornn! MMOs are for exploiting!

Lol, they devs have even said it isn't exploiting because of all the whiners on the swtor forums.  It was the ultimate kick in the dick for all those anti exploiters.

so a friend of mine gave me a 30 day free pass - day 2 and it is exactly what I thought (only with better graphics, i iz suprizd) - wonky controls, fairly boring battles, interesting story, etc etc.  I am only level 8 though, so lots of game let to play to see if it gets any better.  I keep wanting to mash buttons (trip, smite, sunder, wait - dang it)

Drooga's Pleasure Barge - have multiple characters from 40 down, had to try each class to see which one's stick with me.  I am suprised I don't really care for the jedi much or the sith, except for my sith sorc who throws lightning like a boss.  My favorite class is teh bounty hunter powertech so far; and is my highest level character.

Taking a ddo break is fun, I should have done this years ago!

got to endgame?  I hear endgame is weak though the path TO endgame has been entertaining so far

none of my friends are at endgame, so the info I have was all hearsay - I don't forsee myself sticking with this game, but I am enjoying the go

Well, I will tell you.  You will get a full set of raid gear in at most, 4 weeks.  If you get into nightmare mode 16 mans - 2 maybe 3 weeks of casual running.

I laugh any time I hear people complaining about how little end game there is.

I mean, do you think they should be more like WoW (one raid at end game when it started)?

Or maybe DDO (one raid, which may have been added after the first update, or simply closed so often it may as well have been)?

How about Rift (quick check indicates that it currently has 3 raids, of which only one appears to have been available at start, though the second might have been available a month later)?

The only game that I can think of that had more than enough end game to stump people before the first expansion was Everquest. Then it wasn't because of the amount they had (two dragons that each could take EVERY boss in WoW, TOR, and DDO at the same time*) but the difficulty (eventually people won, not by being awesome, but by breaking the rules and throwing ARMIES of players at them).

Now, TOR has 3 raids at end game now, with another coming out in 1.2. Based on their pattern so far, I wouldn't be surprised if 1.3 has another one still, and 1.4 one with some more reasonable clothing/armor models. So, for now, I'm of the opinion that if you are leaving because of the end game, stop being a dumbass, and go someplace that's been established for at least 2 years. Otherwise, wait about 6 months (by figuring out and setting up your favorite classes. Personally, I'm working on having everything but the two wastes of class slots known as marauder and sniper (sentinel and gunslinger for the republic)), and then see what the end game is like.

*This is not necessarily meant to suggest that the dragons were that hard, but that most bosses now are just too easy.

As a side nice, I'm quoting your post, Sergod, as it is the last one in this chain discussing end game issues. I do understand you are of a similar opinion of wait and see as I am suggesting.

VoN was added after release. It was MOD 1 I believe.  TS was included at release.

BTW, I'm also enjoying the hell out of TOR especially after switching servers.  I'm a bit disappointed Ranked PvP slipped from 1.2 but otherwise I'm psyched to get home and try 1.2.  We are hitting EC at 9 tonight should be fun.  Two majot content releases since December sets a good trend especially considering the in between updates usually are fairly hefty too.
