I was REEEAL excited about Star Wars Galaxies when it came out. Signed in and..........walked around killing womprats for about 20 years and then leveled up to level 2.
Then I was like - *delete*
I even got tired of WoW. I think the idea of MMOs are great. A persisting, living world, a huge story, lots of real estate to look at (and in WoW's case, lots of back story) but when I play them they just... get boring to me.
Plus I'm more of a loner on those games. I don't really like to group up and take on whatever obstacle comes up. Friends (actual, flesh/blood friends) would see me online and send me an invite in-game to play a certain area and I'd say thanks but no thanks, lol.
I hope ToR does well. I might even check it out if they have a free 30 day trial, or if it goes micro-transaction based, but I think I'll just pass for now.
