The trial apparently begins as soon as you begin downloading the game files, instead of when you begin playing. Today's the only day this week I'll have time to play. I've already spent 8 hours downloading, and I'm about halfway done.

Oh well.

I played about half of the 30 days that came with the game.

If you like modern MMO's this one fit the bill perfectly.

I don't really play "modern" games much at all. The only game I play regularly is Kingdom of Loathing.

You'll have to mind trick yourself to keep from uninstalling by level 30.

It's WoW with less content.

Why can't they make a star wars MMO with fun combat, like those old Jedi Academy games. Those games kicked ass, you actually felt like you were swinging a lightsaber around.

That saddens me because I like the game a lot leveling. After level 10 though.

I've enjoyed it so far. But my highest is 34. I am hoping by the time I hit my level cap, there will be a content patch sometime soon. Also I stuck to only one side so far. If I cap out or get bored there, I can make new alts for the other side and play from another perspective.

I'm still enjoying the difference, but I've only been playing for about 3 weeks, and only have one character. Republic Consular, seer (healer) spec. I'm lvl 26, currently on Nar Shadda.

I've been playing since day one and I've got four alts with the highest at 40.

I'm in no hurry to level and the legacy points makes me want to level my alts.

Well, I played up to level 13. I was having fun with the cover-based combat, but when the game wouldn't let me message someone to ask if they wanted to group (apparently, you can't do that when using the free trial), I stopped playing.

everything is way to easy to get in this game, especially if your a semi-intelligent gamer.
and if your a vet, forget about it, this is an easy mode mmo.

lol, tired. Not enough time to do ops lately, and I've finished my pvp weeklies for now. Though I still usually play my smuggler anyway.

No no, I can group with people, but I can't ask them if they want to group. Only paying customers are able to talk to people they aren't already grouped with.

I didn't even realize I could /say. I tried talking to someone without specifying a chat channel (which I figured meant /say), and the game said no, so I assumed I couldn't.

But as Winga said, the other restrictions on the trial made me not want to play.
