does anyone play star wars:the old republic? i know the pvp is garbage but thats not why i play mmo's. until i get defiance im going to invest my time in a freemium account on it. im planning on being a tanky commando so if anyone is a good damage dealer that would mean we would achieve ultimate victory

[Ziet]

I thought about getting a free account but the 6+ gbs of updates and such was a major let down since it crashed 3 times

[Paladin Xenos]

yea thats annoying, i've been downloading for over 4 hours but it hasn't crashed on me yet lol.

I clocked it with a Sith Inquisitor, got to say it's worth persevering and playing through it

[Paladin Xenos]

yea i expect to have fun because i do love mmo's but i can't afford defiance yet so this will have to do, and with the modifications they made to freemium they have made it much easier for us less fortunate people to play

Kite asked me back onto it, so I re-DL'd it and installed. The freemium changes were so horrid I immediately shut it off.... pay to hide helmet?! Bugger off!

Ah I tried it in November. Might patch it and recheck sometime, but for now I have Defiance and a shit ton of things left to kill

I played this when it first came out as Sith Assassin. However, I quit after the first month due to lack of endgame and just lack of satisfaction with the game. The typical MMOs had gotten stale for me at this point (after playing WoW for years) with the same gear grind and end-game progression, so it really was nothing special in that regards. However, I did put my time in leveling up and PvP. PvP was pretty fun, although far from balanced and got boring fairly quickly. However, I did play as a tank and it was cool to see a tank have a role in PvP (taunts + debuffs + the thing where you take damage for teammate).

The best part of this game though was the leveling and story. The storytelling, cinematics and singleplayer aspects of the game were absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the storyline for the sith inquisitor. Even paying for this game, I would say I was satisfied for the amount I paid for this and the time played. However, I wouldn't say its worth paying for more than a couple months (i'm not sure what the f2p aspects of the game are, but ive read its lacking many features).

If you're looking for a great single player game with some MMO added, then this is the way to go. Other than that, it gets lackluster and stale pretty quickly. One more thing I want to mention is that I think the class design and class abilities were pretty cool and a change of pace for when it came out, which is a positive for the game as well.

i find this very fun and think this is going to be a good filler until i get defiance

I agree with pretty much of all of Ajars post, but for the love of the Emperor please use paragraphs! XD

Freemium limits PVP time, PVP gear and prevents from doing raids. So the already limited endgame is further nerfed.

Treat it as a single player game with optional MMO content

Paragraphs added sorry about that it was 2am and I didn't reread my post.

Paladin Xenos, if you're still leveling up you're in a great part of the game. The leveling aspect of the game along with the story and such is excellent. They really did this really well (and i especially enjoyed the massive amount of voice acting used for the characters you encounter). Repeatable group quests, dungeons, etc. made it a lot of fun even in a group while leveling. PvP is even fun for a bit but it gets pretty stale quickly (unless they have added more warzones and stuff since when I played which was the first month of release).

It is good that you are still able to have fun with the game though.
