I gave up WoW a year or so ago, and sold my account for a cool $300. The thought of a Star Wars MMO interested me, however I'm a mac gamer, thus I was limited until I only recently bootcamped my computer.
As for The Old Republic, I'll see about it, though I'm not especially enthused. With the new movies, Star Wars has shifted into a Jedi focused mindset, specifically many of them, battling. There is something inherently wrong with this, the mysticism and mystery of the Jedi, that power... has become mundane. I heard about SWG in the beginning, when being a jedi was a very hard thing to do. And it should be that way.
I've been playing a lot of TF2, Spore, and Age of Chivalry at the moment. However there is one underdog game that I have been looking forward to for a long time, now:
Darkfall Online. Unlike so many shameless marketing-ploy-MMO's, this is an indie game built to revolutionize the industry and I hope it will. And it's coming out within the year, so don't hassle me for plugging it while the gaming news media ignores it.
