Class story quest are interactive and fun

Feb. 2025

Arguably one of the greatest MMOs to have ever been made. To date, no competitor has been able to match the agency given to the player in main story decisions and side quest narratives. Each class or (combat style) has a unique identity to it that makes them so much more than a binary "You have a lightsaber" or "You have a blaster." Combat is not super complex yet each combat style has a healthy sized kit of buttons at your disposal for both rotational combat and niche utility. Through your character origin story and beyond the game doesn't railroad you into being a voiceless hero who can only accept orders and go be the good guy akin to FFXIV or WoW. Your character has a say in the overall narrative whether that be benevolent or evil intentions. I genuinely believe more people would be playing this game if it weren't for the fact that it was based in the star wars universe and that alone filters a ton of potential players.

Sept. 2024

If you like Star Wars and want to make your own way in the galaxy far far way then this is the game for you. You have hours of gameplay, dialogue, and deciding the fate of the galaxy ahead of you.

I been playing this game since beta, with 1 break of 1 year a bit after Rise of the Hutt Cartel. I remember with the many, many servers the day it was launched, and it looked very promising, unfortunaly back then, there where extremely many bugs and when hitting level 50 (back then the maximimum), as usual the game was released not really finished. The poor handling of the feedback caused many players to quit the game really fast. Always felt that the introduction of the Cartel market more or less saved the game, with slowly impleted updates that should been happend faster, like groupfinder, not possible to roll on gear " for companion( which was needed back then they had gear to be able to do their role). Not to mention the game engine always felt outdated. With up and downs the other expansions came out, which where good, some maybe a bit rushed with much unexplored area/lore/story. EA used this game and it's Cm to fund other games in development, and just meh about this game, which was getting quite clear with Bioware running empty, or releasing an operation unfinished. Since Broadsword has taken over i see slowly getting back better, in what the game should have been from start. Too bad not everyone is patient enough (yes i know the game is +10years) and always want more, better, faster etc etc... I mainly play because my love for Star Wars Universum , certainly with good old days of KOTOR. At the moment this is the best Star Wars game in my opinion. You can play for free, but as subscriber you have more access and better experience to the full game, just don't expect every month new stuff to do, it is more for relaxed players who enjoy star wars. Population on servers varies, also certain servers have more Empire and then Republic players and vice versa. The community is well...like every game, trolls and partybreakers are everywhere. I suggest to a new player to read up which server suits them best and look on several recommanded websites/discord for guilds that are helpful and supportive.
