Is The Old Republic the WoW Slayer Everyone Expected?

By Adam Morgan


Set in the expansive Star Wars universe, Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is truly a sight to behold. Taking cues from Mass Effect for its color scheme and style there is so much beauty in this game. As soon as you log in you will feel like you have truly stepped through a portal and into the Star Wars universe.

Incredible in its scope and ambition, SWTOR is a hot new MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing games) for the PC. Star Wars: The Old Republic breaks new ground by incorporating a massive, choice-based story line into the game, thus moving away completely from the traditional MMO.

In WOW and most other MMOs, players get the same situations over and over and there is really nothing to differentiate the experience that players have. In contrast, The Old Republic allows each player to truly experience a different game and story, unique to them alone.

You will also no longer need to pay a $15 monthly subscription fee as SWTOR is going Free to Play. You will still be able to play with your friends and act out your Star Wars universe fantasies while saving on the monthly subscription fee. You'll get quite a substantial amount of game play for free, as it will last until you reach Level 50. For only $15 you get the game along with a free month of premium access, for even bigger savings.

New content is constantly being added, so you'll never run out of things to do. You'll soon be able to unlock new game items and get new features with Cartel Coins.

SWTOR is still new and fresh, but it has matured since its release in December 2011. So you will now be able to enjoy the game with others like you, without the annoying bugs or annoying people. Newcomers are welcomed by the true, dedicated, and loyal fans who have stuck around. This is the best possible situation for new players.

The universe inside The Old Republic is immense, as proven by the dozens of planets for you to explore and the space combat mini games. The mini games aren't as fun as they should have been. There is still lots to like about the game, despite that minor downside.

There are 8 different character classes for you to choose from. Fighting for the Republic or the Empire are your 2 main options. This is most definitely the game for you if you've ever wanted to be a Jedi or a Sith, dancing around with a lightsaber and slashing creatures left and right. You will further specialize into one of 16 advanced classes once you've reached level 10. Your options for the advanced class are based on the original character class choice you made.

You will start the game on a different planet and with different sets of powers and abilities, depending on whether you chose the Republic or the Empire. You will have a blast exploring this massive and dangerous world, whichever side you choose. After you've played a few hours of Star Wars: The Old Republic, you will never look at MMOs the same way again.
