I kind of feel the same way. I mean, I'll give TOR a shot, after all, all my friends will be playing it, but I just can't get excited about it. MMO's aren't my thing, I prefer single-player RPG experiences. They claim there's supposed to be a fairly robust solo experience in the game, though, so I'm hoping they'll surprise me.

If you like(d) WoW and you like Star Wars you'll like TOR. If you don't like either of those things, you won't like it. Don't be fooled by the videos; the marketing for this game was utter shit. I've had some hands-on time, it's better than the videos, but it is very similar to WoW, just a bit different.
It's like if WoW was a hamburger, and then someone came along and put cheese on that mofo, and now it's a cheeseburger, that's SW:TOR. If you didn't like the hamburger in the first place, you won't like the cheeseburger either, but if you're looking for something similar but new, you will like it.

Agreed. Though I've played MMO's previously, I've just had enough of them for a while. I might try it someday, but I already have plenty of games to play this Fall. Adding MMO to the equation just takes away from the immersion, in this instance, I have high doubts it'll feel anything like KOTOR1/2.

Definitely not going to buy it day one, but I will stay hopefully optimistic. I love the universe from KOTOR too much to ignore this completely.
Took them long enough to finally release a date considering how much EA has riding on this. Unfortunately my interest has faded over the years and I'll wait to see what happens down the road as I am still a fan of the Universe/Old Republic. In the mean time I'll get myself GW2, whenever that is released =D .
@Magnalon - Dude, you just made his point FOR him without realizing it. He never said that you "cannot" solo your way to 85, his point was that solo'ing your way to 85 is a lesser experience. Mainly because many quest chains tie-into group content. This is true, not an exaggeration, because I started WoW in '05 with Vanilla and played on-and-off into Cata. I can't remember how many times quest chains built-up my expectations and then ended in a dungeon. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, as I rarely had trouble finding people to do it, but it is a regular occurrence. Fewer end up in raid content, but it happens.
If you don't mind blasting thru all the lore and content just to max out and do group-based endgame and battlegrounds, more power to you, but you are not everyone.

On the fence here: One one hand, I love the Star Wars, but the communities in MMOs have become increasingly more vile and disagreeable. Plus, this looks to be WOW with a fresh coat of paint.
If people continue sucking, I might just be better off just firing up KOTOR again.

"By the time this game comes out ill already be playing MF3,BF3,Rage,AC, and waiting for ME3 and diablo 3.good fucking luck EA."
The funniest thing is that in this quote, I only see one game that's a new IP. And the rest have very minimal changes. Yet we are all complaining about how this is a fresh coat of paint over an old concept.
Irony.

Whats up with this whiny community? Sure there are some obvious rips from older mmo's regarding tank heal and so on but that, i think, is a clever decision from Bioware. Its the way most rpg's work(ed) out til today so people are familiar with it and can learn it realatively quick. Guess they are aiming for hardcore and casual gamers. In the end, i think those who give this game a fair chance will be impressed no matter what opinion u might have now.
