Thanks for the response, I have been looking for a decent sand-boxy game. and a post apoclyptic game is most decidedly not the run of the mill fantasy game.
It is not a bad game, just not what the hype leads you to think.
It is star wars, it has space ships, it has light sabers -- it will do well.
But it is just average gameplay IMHO. All gamers are diffrent, I could not get into Everquest, but loved Eve and WoW. Does not mean that you cannot love it, and I think it is average.

There is no "off the beaten path", you are hand held from a to b to c....
Don't go into the game expecting a genre defining MMO, but rather KOTOR 3 where you see other peeps playing their copy of KOTOR 3 with you.
I have my reservations about the game "as an MMO" but I would rather others play and for their own opinion.
I still have the game on pre-order, but I give the the game 3/5 stars, and .5 of those stars come from it being Star Wars.
My opinion, YMMV

Nov 23rd 2011 1:40PM (Massively)This is my thoughts as well, 4 beta builds in.
It is not a "bad" game, just over hyped.
The real test is how well it it holds subscribers.
