SWG mechanics that didn't make it to TOR

    Serious comparing SWG to SWTOR is like comparing Shogun:Total War to Starcraft.

     

    Bit similar but overall just diffrent TYPE of games.

     

    One is more varied second is more streamlined.

     

    Sandbox vs themepark.

     

    Just very diffrent.

    Despite everything said both for and against ToR, as an avid SWG fan i can say that through all the disappointments brought about as a result of ToR being in no way, shape, or form like galaxies i must admit i'm still on the fence about trying ToR just because i miss SWG and that universe, even if i too prefer the original trilogy by leaps and bounds. In galaxies i started off as a smuggler and then became a commando. would i enjoy either of those classes in ToR? are they carbon copies of other MMO classes the way the sith lord is to a warrior from WoW? (i say that cause i saw that picture comparing their skills side by side and they were neigh identical)

    This is a vaild point.

     

     

    The problem is that those of us that Played SW:G for extended periods of time, and have tried out ToR are going to be slightly biased on our view because of our prior experiences with a Star Wars themed MMO.

    Take me...

     

    I started SW:G full time in 2004 after testing it out for a few months in 2003.  I was at the Sarlaac on Starsider when the servers went down for the last time last month.

     

    I tried ToR during the Open Beta Weekends and Clossed Beta.  Its got great VO work....but its not for me.  It doesn't have what I want from a Star Wars MMO......the oppurtunity to run my own game inside of the Universe..
