Looks like I lack the necessary space on this partition, time to switch to Windows.

I've gotten four.
I played for like two and a half weeks in July and just kinda stopped. It wasn't incredibly interesting, even for free, and was an enormous 40GB download after every large build.

As far as I know, I'm still on the testing list, but I'm not gonna download it again.

I can't really point to any one feature.
Nothing was particularly bad (other than space combat), but it was just... not inspiring, I guess.

Don't you have to purchase the game but there's no subscription? Does that really qualify as free-to-play?

You might like it more than I did, but its just another MMO with slightly better stories per class.

You should try it and let us know, though.

Only 6 gigs remain in this pack, it looks like I will have another 8 gigs after that If I am "lucky". I will probably be downloading this all fucking night.

This better be worth it.

I only downloaded around 28 gigs worth until it stopped downloading/installing. Now I have to wait until 5:00PM until I can play.

I hope I don't have to download more when I am actually allowed to play.

I hope that this doesn't stop them from making another single player game at some point. I'd like something else written by Avellone, assuming Obsidian does it.

As long as it has a large number of active users we'll never see another single player Old Republic game again. I'm guessing this will be successful enough to at least have one expansion if not two.

Its similar to WoW in the sense that you have to kill over and over, but the game does progress at a pretty good clip. Not as fast as KotoR, but fast none the less. There is a ton of content with all of the side quests involved. Instead of the quests being pointless about killing creatures over and over, there is a good chunk of excitement and frustration. When you go into a personal story quest and die 20 times trying to kill something, it makes the win so much more enjoyable.
