    I bought the game and got my free month out of it. Not a very good game still. Could use a LOT of optimization and a much better UI system. The planet system makes it take a loooooooooong time to do things, not to mention the speeder bikes being awfully slow.

    ah, actually i meant for the trial, not for F2P.

    if there's enough star wars fan boiz it may remain non-F2P.

    I'm less than surprised.

    The people that like it are so taken by the story-based quests and instances that all its flaws are pretty much otherwise ignored. And frankly, those are mainly the people playing it now, the people who are most into the Star Wars universe, especially that of TOR.

    It would've been AWESOME if flight battles were done well. Then there really would have been two layers to the game. But instead space battles are just mini-games, and the main game is EQ/WoW with a really well done story overlay.

    It can be the best story in the world, I need game play that isn't going to annoy me and feel clunky. Socializing isn't any anything good either. Heroic areas in world zones are really really annoying. Not to mention it isn't really a real mmo, there are different instances of world zones, so there won't be too many people visible in one place. That was probably done so the game would slow down to nothing cause of the bad optimization. Plus a lot of people are getting banned/warned for things they shouldn't be.
