Went back to this as FTP for the first time in a year. Took me almost 2 days to download the 20GB of files necessary.
Things have changed, but things remain the same.
TOR is a strange beast. It wants to have its Bioware cake, and eat the MMO goodies too. Honestly, the only reason this was made into an MMO is because a straight RPG game of this size could never be made as it wouldn’t be profitable enough. However, the result of this is that many people wanting a Single Player RPG were annoyed by the MMO elements whilst others who wanted a more traditional MMO were hampered by the story elements and lack of MMO specific content.
As a game it’s fun, but the expansions released for it haven’t been able to recreate the variety of the original campaign because of the cost overheads. It also hasn’t been able to keep the MMO crowd engaged with good end-game content.
I am tempted to level up another character, but I’d only do so if there was a double xp week to do it in.
