Ok, I'm downloading Star Wars: The Old Republic right now. I just bought the deluxe pack and according to the site, you can play early with this pack.
It's being installed as we speak.
I can give updates on how the game plays.
As of right now, I'm peeved at all the signing up, registration, security questions, etc. So much stuff you gotta do before you can even install the game. I'm not sure I did everything right and I might have to go back and fill in some stuff I missed. Judging by what the signup info said, I might have to go back and purchase some game time. I'm supposed to get 30 days with my order, but it sounded like the game was saying I have to purchase an actual subscription before I can play. Really silly, because I *do* have a subscription with the order.
So I'll add more later and rate my experience.
Just to let you know, I am not a hardcore gamer, nor am I experienced. Never played a game like this before.

Never played a game like this before. Sweet. Let us know how it is. I played Star Wars Galaxies and for a good while, it took up a lot of my time haha. For a while in high school and for a quick re-visit in college. I don't think I'd have time to play a game like that right now, sadly, but it looks awesome. If you try it and I hear that it sounds accessible then I might have to get in. It just looks too good and some of the cool stuff I did in Galaxies (one situation remains one of the best 'video-gaming' things I've ever done) is making me consider it. |

I started playing it last week during early release. I absolutely love it. I played Galaxies for a few years, and loved it. While I don't care for WOW or most MMOS, I love the Star Wars aspect of it, and Bioware can really do no wrong. I love how the game is really focused into the story, and the combat feels good to me too.
Right now I have a Sith Warrior Juggernaut. Really enjoying it.

This sounds like such a great game but I really don't want to pay every month to pay it. Also don't want to get addict to it.  |

I wanna play it but I'm on Mac...and I'm already dishing out enough money on Netflix/Xbox Live/GameFly. I might try it eventually when/if the price comes down though.

Whats specs do you need to be able to play this fluently? My comp is above avergae but I think an mmo would blow it up.

Most MMOs have low specs, so that most people can play them. But you can adjust the framerate and shadowing on it to run it smoother. I have a 4 year old laptop that runs it just fine.

Really enjoying it so far. I haven't decided if I'm going to want to keep playing, but so far it's good.

I have been playing it since early release, and I am absolutely loving it. The class storylines are really nice, and it makes you want to play through all of the classes.
Right now I have a level 29 Sith Warrior Juggernaut.
