Anyone playing?
What are your thoughts?

Played it before it went free... was... m.m.o. i think i lasted three months before I gave up.

I played with Ruski, and quite a bit without him (more with one of my other brothers, but that's neither here nor there).
I really liked it- I didn't like paying a bunch for a game that I only played a few times a week; I'm not the video game junkie that I used to be. But I liked the immersive storylines, the broad areas with interesting detail in them, I liked the quest variations, and I LOVED the voice acting. It made it feel like you were playing a video game rather than an MMO.
No gnomes with alliterated text and a bunch of bad puns.
I did like the system where there were multiple endings for some of the quests- and if you were playing in a group, you could vote on them. My problem was, I'm not an asshole, so my light-side vote usually got shot down 3:1.
It was a lot of fun, I'm seriously considering rejoining for the free to play version, although most of the brotherly interaction I had on there has now migrated to the xbox.

played for a bit myself, was alright, and yeah, i like the way it feels like an actual game rather then an MMO, had great voice acting, story, ect... But what got me was the problem with all combat in mmos, you stand there, then queue up attacks by pressing 1-2-3-4 and setting up macros. that just kinda kills it for me, if its gonna be like turn based combat, make it turn based.
Just.. fell outta it though. to slow for me at times, then to fast at others. I liked the idea of customizable weapons and armor, you can buy new firing chambers, crystals, so on and so forth to get better stats for a base customizable gun and armor then work to keep it up as you play, and if you keep it good its more powerful then the purples and all you could find.. of course, its not that easy as you have to buy the parts from vendors with Commendations from certian planets, or craft them yourself, dismantle them in hopes of getting the next color level of that item, and repeat until you get purples, and by that point your read for all new parts. Would have been nice if you could find a better Base, a custom blaster you get at level 5 has the same base stats as one you get at level 50 so its all just cosmetic. which would have been nice as well.. show these fancy custom parts on my rifle instead of the same model the entire time.. but that is asking a bit much...

I played for a beta weekend before it was released, I rather liked it... but it was only for a weekend. I had a bunch of friends I played BF3 with jump over to SW for a few months until they finally all stopped bothering. The major complaint was lack of content and (and PvP balance) at high/max level. I've been pondering going to play it now that it's free, at least go experience all the quests and stories since I really enjoyed that part of the game I got to see.

ooh, they also have an expansion coming out/already out, no idea what it is. Its awesome, but just dont have the cash to pay for a subscription, but the games kinda setup so that if you dont have a subscription your severely limited..
-
I'm also thinking of re-subscribing.
Perhaps we should do a Pubber's guild? Or just all join the same sever, so we can game together if we get the chance?
