I have never tired of playing the early story lines. The voice acting is great and each tale is like rereading a favorite book.

I've been playing this game on and off since Dec. 2012, and honestly the original storylines are what keeps me coming back to the game hahaha

[sofaking]

I just started playing this week
I'm not usually a fan of MMOs but I love good story driven games and this one is absolutely stellar, and with it being mostly free to play I get hours of gametime for practically no investment.

Definitely recommend

[Geckorawasg]

Yes. In poland its around 6, 5 euro for month of playing in this game without any restrictions. And you get all expansions and access to storyline. Definitely worth of trying. If you decide to cancel you just go and cancel subscription at any point without problems.

Thank you for this video, I'm finally going to give this game a shot after all these years. When the game first dropped (I was in Uni then) my laptop simply couldn't run it and I was so jealous of those that could play it, until I heard the same people sort of badmouthing the title. For whatever reason, it never really left my mind and I always wondered what it would be like to actually sit down and play it so many years after the fact. I've finally got a decent PC (normally just a console player) and can't wait to jump into this. Thank you so much for posting this and finally convincing me to take the plunge!

I resubbed after around 5 years of hiatus, and it is great to see how much more user friendly this game has become. Already finished a class storyline, can't wait for the new expansions. No other mmo got me this invested in my characters, building their backstories, relationships, personality.

Excellent summary! And your other videos have been invaluable for navigating the complicated systems of the game. Really, a must watch, for returning, and new players. Thank you for your work! ❤

[stuartmcmahon]

great video as always. I think I started playing in 2015, then stepped away in 2018, came back earlier this year. love it...

[NxVoss]

I love this game! One of the best stories! And a Star Wars Legends game still going I believe! As MMO I haven't really interacted that guilds and the ones I am part of are for playing how you want I am in love with the story single player though you can get friends or guild mates to help! Great game! I suggest it!

[Solnikowski]

Came back to the game after a ~ 4 year break and loving it so far! Already invested over a hundred hours :)

[titanent]

i just started playing a few days ago and im still in free to play mode because theres a lot of stuff i can do before having to pay. definitely going to pick up a subscription soon because i've been thoroughly enjoying the game so far and theres tons more i can do with a subscription

[moutsatsosa]

This game has always been amazing for me.The story the depth the art.I preordered and played on the beta back then.
I currently live in Australia and latency in over crowded areas like pvp makes it unplayable sadly.
By far the best MMO until today for me and I've played a lot of them.

[The.Great.And.Powerful.Trixie]

I played WoW for about 8 years, doing all sorts of stuff, and I was once raiding quite a lot. In SWTOR, I found that I don't really care much about gearing, or even "raiding" (will try to gear at least 2 toons eventually). I just make alts, spend hours and hours in "Space Barbie minigame", get sucked into the world, ... Solo story content is just amazing in this game, with great voice acting, and its something I always wanted in WoW.

Your videos are incredibly informative, have a great pace, and is enthusiastically presented. Thanks for the fantastic content! <3

[Luracastria]

Just about to finish legendary, saving Imperial Agent for last. Time to go Bond/Manchurian Candidate in SWTOR 🤘🏽. Thank you Swtorista for helping us all all over the years :)

[davidklein]

I started playing in 2022 and it's one of my favorite game.

[DrBeevo]

Story content is very fun from base to LoS. I was a story player for a long period of time and drifted into HM raids/nim hopefully soon. Most of 7.0's big flaws were fixed in 7.1. Great community and there are very helpful guilds that have people willing to lfg and teach mechs/classes for endgame.

[Shadowbot]

Started playing this week. Subscribed, love it.

[VemiX]

As a massive Mass Effect fan, this game really hit the spot especially story wise and Imperial Agent most of all although other ones are really cool too

[barone]

Hopefully one day we get a well written and well animated show about SWTOR. So much story telling material.
