If anyone decides to try it go to The Shadowlands server.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that. I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Nice, thanks for the heads up, my love the movies made me want to try that game, my experience in Galaxies made me want to stay away.

Yep. Sad to say that they crapped the bed with this one. They thought the IP would sell it all by itself. They forgot to make a game that is interesting without that. They also made it too much of a WoW clone. You could call it WoSW.

Meh... WoW clone or would the term just be standard mmo. There are a lot of interesting mechanics and twists other games don't have. What level did you reach and was it before the server merges?

I was on The Razor, I think. I only got to level 12 or so as a Jedi Knight.
I didn't play it very long at all. Checked it out back in the spring. I really love Star Wars. As a kid I was a total Star Wars geek. But I just couldn't get into the game.

Checked it.
It's extremely obvious that it became Pay to Win along the way. ( pay to be allowed to wear the best gear, pay to buy the flashpoint/ops access [ every week ], pay to have access to guild bank, pay to have access to the third crafting skill, pay to have access to more than 2 quickbars... )
The rest hasn't changed much from what I've seen ( spent a few hours on Ord Mantell and an hour on Tatooine ).
Well it will be a good game for when I'm bored with DDO now that the access is free.
Oh side note : VIP ( well subscriber ) really has a meaning in SWTOR, as you have access to everything, while the Premium/F2P need to buy a fuckload of unlocks and upgrades to have the same kind of access. ( and no you don't earn credits while questing, so if you need to buy something you're fucked, you need to bring on the money ). Also VIPs earns XP faster than the F2P/Premiums.
