This game has been good for the last like.. 12 years

So like, a user in another thread (Sychon, I think?) said people dont start appreciation threads. I genuinely think it'd be kinda neat if people shared stories of all the fun things they've done over the twelve years that this game has been around.

This game has its flaws, sure, but what game doesnt? It's still around and has a decent enough userbase (numbers wise, anyway). I'm not going to discount people having their dislikes about the game, because people are allowed to not like a thing, but they're also free to move on if it is SO bad that they just can't keep going.

I've had a lot of fun with this game. It gave me a free to play space to share with friends old and new alike, and has been a place I can come back to every now and then like an old friend, and sort of pick up where I left off.

This game really did well with its class stories, and made the game interesting to re-play, something that is incredibly hard for me to do for various personal reasons, and while we all have that planet we hate (looking at you, Hoth), it always managed to keep it somewhat fresh and interesting every toon you level.

In short, the game has been fun, frustrating, saddening, joyful, and most of all rewarding. Here's to another 12 years of the game.

It is one of my top 10 games of all time. I've come back to try and finish the original class stories because it's an enjoyable experience.

However the game had been hampered by an inexperienced MMO team, and an engine that they were oversold on. Then there were the poor game design decisions that came with KotFE. And let's not mention all the codex entries that have been left broken since launch.

It's been one of the few games I haven't had a problem sub'ing to from time to time.

I can think of no other MMO that offers what this games does in terms of story-line freedom. By that, I mean the ability to make choices within the story line that will change the very plot and endings. You want to be a Jedi Knight corrupted by the Dark Side? Go for it. Sith Warrior converted to the Light Side and trying to change the Empire from within? More power to you. Each of the 8 story lines has twists and plots that can be impacted by your decisions; that is some impressive story telling.

Graphics are also pretty great for a game this old and the game is not pushy towards player preferences. PVE is obviously most common, but PVP has plenty of rewards. Also, the community is pretty great. Most people are friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed each of the story lines, but I was mostly impressed by the Imperial Agent. Of course, getting to duke it out with the Emperor as a Jedi Knight was pretty cool, too. It's not often we get a MMO (or any type of game for that matter) that ages as well as SWTOR. However, I wish they would create a SWTOR II or a new version set in the Post Star Wars' saga era. As long as it has a such freedom and well written stories, I would 100% make that my next MMO.

SWTOR is my safe place tbh, everytime i'm having a rough time in my life, this game pulls me back in like right now, lost my job last week out of nowhere and this game helps me alot.

so thank you SWTOR

I play SWTOR because I like Bioware stories and because I've moved on from forced grouping. I'm okay with grouping sometimes, but I don't want that to be the only way to progress. Other MMOs at a certain point require grouping, but in SWTOR you can see all the main stories. Also, since the Eternal Throne expansion you can also gear up completely solo.

Sorry to hear. Hope you find another job soon. Maybe the new job will be better, so it was worth it.
