Eh, it's basically a WoW-killer that didn't kill WoW, except it cost a bajillion dollars to produce. It's F2P now, so there's no reason not to try it if you have the time and storage space.

Start with the Sith Inquisitor or Sith Warrior. If I remember correctly, they're supposed to have the better stories. (Research that on your own first. I didn't make it particularly far, and it was a long time ago.)

Because honestly there are not that many MMOs that are actively thriving. Maybe what like 5-6 tops? Every other MMO is empty af.

Imperial Agent is what I remember by general consensus to be the best story, but they're all good in their own right.

The Inquisitor is the only story I've finished so far, and it's amazing. Definately worth the combat that would have been bland even before it was a decade out of date.

Wouldn't a WoW-killer that didn't kill WoW mean it isn't a WoW-killer? I'm not sure if you're saying it as a good thing or a bad thing. Is it so good that it should have killed World of Warcraft but didn't or are you saying it was just another so-called WoW-killer that failed to live up to expectations and was over hyped?

It was a so-called WoW-killer that was specifically meant to be more successful than WoW. I think they ended up breaking the then-record for the highest-budget game? Or at least they came close. Obviously it was not more successful than WoW and eventually went F2P as a way to boost microtransactions, since subscriptions weren't cutting it.

I was saying it as a bad thing because they spent so much money and had such high aspirations, but ultimately they failed because they were trying to compete with WoW by making WoW.
