I played it, farmed nightmare difficulty raids (might on hedarr soongh), and then ran out of things to do since we can clear both dungeons on nightmare in one 3 hour evening. Now I do anything but play that game.
It's definately got more potential than any of the other MMOs I've tried.
They need to update a few more things into it and start making it appealing to pay to play.
Many people I've talked to played the hell out of it for the free month but didn't feel like they were missing out on much not paying to play monthly.
I'm interested to see if it takes off like WoW.

The game was not even close to being ready for launch in terms of standard MMO features. It can't compete long-term unless they make a lot of changes, and the truth is they can't do it fast enough. People are leaving and either heading back to WoW or just holding out for Guild Wars 2.
No end game content, major patch balance problems, game already feels more like a single player game rather than a mmo, major population imbalance on the two sides across all servers.
The population will die off rapidly, simply from running out of things to do...

I'm pretty sure this game is the laughing stock of most MMORPG gamers. These games need to have longevity, this game has no legs and it is basically a bad WoW clone with millions of dollars of voice work to its name.
Echoing what some others said, I absolutely loved the game while I was leveling up and for a short time afterward, but there really is no where near enough to do in the endgame. What little there IS, is so easy you're done with it in a couple of weeks, max.
Don't see myself going back anytime soon. No thanks on the free weekend.

Dammit, I'm moving this weekend. But I was waiting to play this game til I moved so I'd have a better connection, so meh.
The leveling was super fun, modding armor and all that good stuff. then you hit the lvl cap, lulz. I'll never play this game, ever again.
lol the game is dying so badly they're already giving it away. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED
It's not really "free". From what I see, you still have to buy a copy of the game to participate in the trial.
Finally I will get a chance to play this game! Let's see it is a worthy sucessor of the previous games.

Same about any other MMO really though, even WoW - the only reason for grinding raids is artificial time locks and drop rates. There is nothing to do besides dailies, PvP, and raiding.
The whole "Rush to endgame, raiding and pvp is all there is to an MMO" mentality is just... wrong. And developers encourage and design around it these days, and all they have to rely on for subscriptions is making their games into slot machines to get players addicted(and hope they dont notice).
Though if I do get the urge to have a second job that I dont get paid for, TOR is the one Ill go back to.

Pretty positive the Honeymoon is over for me too I think. I just have no will to play any of my characters that sit ever so humbly at level 20. All 7 of them, with no will at all to start the counselor I've got waiting.
Still subbed up for now though, and sent my roommate a trial friend request that we haven't activated yet. Figure if they decide to join I can get myself to level more.. Now it's going to be free for almost as long as the trial this weekend, so I feel like I've wasted the request.. Maybe I could almost double their time --not that level 15 is going to be anything more then a days work for us. Ridiculous how easy it is to get to 20.
@Camel Toad
If you've got a friend still subbed up they can send you a friend invite for a 7 day trial, if your going to miss this weekend's freeness.. Or maybe one of us could.

Free my ass lol
Doesn't matter, they handled this game quite poorly. Hope whoever is still playing enjoys it.

"The game seems to be doing pretty well for itself even if the vocal minority is as loud as ever."
The game is certainly doing well in terms of units sold and active subscribers (though it remains to be seen if they've managed to make a serious profit, if any at all, with the few hundred million dollars they spent developing and marketing this game for over 5 years).
But that's not really what I take issue with. The number of people who don't feel like spending $60+tax up front for a game, then an additional $15 every month so they can actually play it, is pretty large. Not everyone has that type money to invest in all of their gaming, let alone a single title. As soon as the first expansion pack is released, that amount will only increase further. And not everyone has the time to dedicate to a game like that, which requires you to group up and schedule play time for large portions of the content.
So yes, the group that's still *VOCAL* about their qualms with Swtor being an MMO and not an actual sequel to Kotor II is certainly small. But the number of people who loved Kotor I&II and don't have the time or money for Swtor is pretty substantial, much more so than the people actively subscribed to the game right now. Kotor I&II sold 4 million at retail alone. That doesn't even account for years of second hand use or digital downloads, namely through Steam. The series has quite a following.

@ctg867 I think you hit on a more serious note here: the $60 initial fee is really hard for a lot of people to justify nowawdays. Especially when so many GOOD MMOS don't have one or are just f2p from the start. I think SWTOR's $60 price tag is reflective of the millions of dollars spent making/marketing the game.

More than likely the two reasons that keep me away from MMO's will happen. 1)Work throughout the weekend, 2)my attention span will shrink with the growing hours, and 3)my laptop surely won't run the sucker.
Other than those three reasons I would like to get into, at least, this weekend.

i beta'd the game and while flawed, it was a fun experience. i'd probably play the game, but the 60 dollar entry fee(40 on amazon) is just too high for a game that i have to pay to keep playing. i think they overestimated how willing fans of kotor and starwars are, to throw away their money on a game that has to do with kotor and starwars.
AHAHAHAAHAH the titanic's sinking, boys.
"Faring pretty well"? They never filled ONE server, the population of swtor has been falling vertically since release.
Which is to be expected from a WoWclone with 1/3rd of the content which only feature is "the npc's TALK lol"
Feels good man.

Anyway, this free weekend will allow you to get a character up to level 15, with limits on where you can travel as well. It's all explained in this handy dandy FAQ up on the site. If I'm reading this correctly, it seems as if previous subscribers will have to make a new "free" account to get in on this. So will those of you who are holding out give this a whirl? android 9.7 tablet
