Is this worth playing?

[MANKIND]

Is it still active and receiving updates? Can someone give me some insight into the game? Would be much appreciated

Yes. The story is great if you have not done all 8. If you have, there is more after the 8 now.
If you sub once you get all the current DLC. IMOP It is not only worth playing but its worth a sub.

It is an easy game, which makes it fun for both the hard core grinder ( there are hard modes ) and there is easy mode for those who just like to play the story and have great fun with little time.

They have done a good job at making the level and gear system decently fair to obtain. You can either GRIND for end game top tier. Or you can just play and get good enough gear to enjoy the game and story.

Are there raids and stuff?

Raids are called Operations, Dungeons are called Flashpoints.

Gonna be an a*s for a second so bare with me. It's a free game. Why do people tend to ask these questions "Is it worth it or is it worth playing?" when it's free? Download the game, play it, make your own opinions. Don't worry about wasting time, you're already sitting on your computer and looking through Steam, that's already a time waster if you're worried about it.

When it's free, download and play, then form your own opinion. For some reason these posts make me laugh or exhale and shake my head. Got me feeling like a 40 year old when I'm mid 20s, crazy feeling.

Yes, the story lines are great for each class.
Combat is well an MMO tough to get used to if you arent already and adapt to but once your used to this game and the respawn times you can practically predict everything.
Community is.. friendly in game, when the game first came out at least I had people giving me great gear for nothing in return other than friend requesting. You got to join a group now to get any kind of interaction.

[PuffyTheMagicalDragon]

Yes. Sub at least one time to get all of the content.

[Aegis]

It is very worthwhile

[Thorncrypt]

200+ hours of free story content which is arguably one of the best written MMORPG base game storylines. the answer is yes if you like playing games solo you should definitely give it a try. if you like playing multi-player then find a guild.

Its a fantastic game for a new player. If you've been on and off since launch and you've been on quite recently you won't find too much that will interest you.

I find that the subscription a bit pointless now and all it does is just gate you having more in game currency and doing the raids. I would understand if they were creating further content but all it seems to be its Quality of life changes and cartel market updates for the cash shop.

I would like to to get back into raids but I don't see what i'm funding the game for at the moment as they are are not creating anything in my opinion that keeps a players attention.

The new galaxy events are great! Nice to see multiplayer features in the open world but its more for the new players than the existing players sadly. The mmo focus just seems to have gone and even the story has stopped. Their needs to be a gear score increase and a new zone / reputation system / repeatable endgame options / Delves open world star wars lairs / military bases or caves to find new gear and cosmetics and not just in the store.

I remember when Enemys DIDNT spawn back fast and you had to camp areas while other players camped them too because everyone needed the same enemy types to progress in their side quests. Now THAT was a nightmare. Not to mention the contests around bosses for hero 2 missions.

Enemy Spawn rate increased is one of the best things they did.

[Electi]

it's good if you read quests, no need to sweat to level up with story. No challenge whatsoever. Big world, a lot of things to do. Subscribe once for big ass expansion. Do not worry about gear at all untill endgame.
Empire side story is wonderfull.

Play it in two hours; it will be mainly the same gameplay for rest of the game. If you don't like it - uninstall the game, no time spent or money, great bonuses of F2P videogames.

[Bowenf28]

story is uncommonly good for an mmo, the gameplay......
its an mmo, but star wars. If thats what you want then its perfect
