If you can get past the SciFi—Star Wars The Old Republic is a really solid MMO
That's it. That's the post. I had always been a huge fantasy guy ever since I graduated from shooting games as a teenager. Fantasy held my heart for close to ten years but recently I felt drawn to sci fiction. I just needed a change man. I am a few hours into SWTOR and it's quite enjoyable. I am not a huge Star Wars fan, I have only seen the first 8 movies and Rogue One. I have no experience with the expanded universe before this, so you know it's gotta be good. I think it's the classic WoW style gameplay with the mix of heavy story and choice dialogue plus voice acting. Feels really nice. Also, I am only getting 230 Ms ping from Australia which is a huge win for me, it's very much playable on the main US server. In short, I very much recommend star wars the Old Republic if you are lost and searching for a quality MMO with decent story as the focus. I could imagine sinking way more time into this game over the next few weeks and months. Thanks for reading and may your loot drops be lucky.
