So, who's playin TOR? It's pretty awesome so far. Plays more like Knights of the Old Republic than a MMO. Probably the first MMO where I've wanted to explore everywhere and talk to everyone for all the dialogue.
My guild got deployed to the Black Vulkars server.

waiting for my invite, didn't pre-order until October so it'll probably be tomorrow or Friday. Was in the last two beta weekends and the relation to KOTOR is pretty strong. If nothing else it'll be interesting enough to take each character through their own story arcs...maybe.

I also like that there's no autoattacking and most of the abilities look awesome. The combat feels much more active than your typical mmo. Haven't gotten a companion yet but looking forward to that.

companions are awesome, especially ones that compliment your class, having a healer companion if you're a tank or DPS is so nice.
Also, when you get your ship it is such a nice feeling.

I have heard so many mixed things about this game....although sad to admit I did see an advertisement taht piqued my curiousity. But won't be trying it, unless they do come out with a two week trial thingy.... From what I've heard about launch though that won't be for quite a while.

Yeah it's been very successful with preorders and the launch has been the smoothest I've encountered.
That said if you like Bioware games it's worth it. Did my first Flashpoint last night and the way they make it feel like a story-driven single player game despite the fact you've got 4 people running with you is kinda amazing.

Yes I realized I was purchasing a modern MMO in a sci fi setting.
What's important is the differences, not the similarities. The story driven presentation with all the Bioware polish and the quality of life improvements (companions most notably) seem to be setting things apart in a pretty big way.

companions are fine, the pve is awful, minus the flashpoints (which are cool but get kinda lame later) and the PvP is totally disappointing
there is little difference between spec trees for most classes and the lack of true class diversity is something that is going to really haunt this game

I've heard from many people that have played in the betas and the pre-release that is just another WoW clone. Can't say im surprised, it was pushed out by EA.

Here's a really good article explaining what sets TOR apart despite the similarities to WOW and other modern MMOs.

I'm enjoying it for the most part. I never ended up balls deep in WoW though so it was easy and cheap to pick this up.

I would expect anyone to enjoy a new game that has any sort of polish for the first month or so, its the freshness, longevity, and replayability that concerns me. At this point if i am going to invest in an MMO for the story, I'd rather just get a book. I've watched a few people play it now and from the looks of it, its a cross between WoW and warhammer with a star wars theme.

I'm enjoying it. The game still needs a lot of work, but I think it has a lot of potential with how well the game runs with only being released 3 weeks ago.
