I was going to until EA fucked me hard with BF3 and Origin. I didn't like not being able to play my game for multiple days at all, and I refuse to be subjected to the same treatment as a consumer again. EA and all their properties can suck a big one.
That said, I've been having doubts anyway ever since I saw the gameplay. The only MMO that will ever be superior to World of Warcraft is something different from World of Warcraft...that, I haven't seen.
They make a HUGE deal out of the whole "in depth" story system. Obviously, since it's pretty much their main selling point other than the brand Star Wars. But during the massive amount of time I've sunk into WOW (currently off the drip and have been clean for over half a year) I have never once given a fuck about the story. I never read the quests, I never pay attention to the characters. And I feel like this is how the majority of people play the game. There are definitely those that love the RP and story aspects. But out of thousands of players, I've literally never met A SINGLE ONE. Admittedly, I was a "hardcore" raider (how lame that sounds!) in the top guild on a server and the last thing on anyone's mind was story/RP. But still, even when questing/leveling I didn't see any of these people.
Maybe that's because it's WOW story, and no one cares. But I don't get the feeling that's what people necessarily want form their MMO. They want the social aspects, the level advancement, the cool gear, all the things that WOW has, in my bias opinion, perfected. Why go to another franchise for what is either equal, or a downgrade, in quality?
Anyway, we will see. But from what I've seen the gameplay, social aspects, and gear/leveling appear to very closely resemble WOW.
If anyone has another view, from a story lovers perspective, I would like to hear it by the way. This is simply my admittedly bias opinion.
