Not sure I have not got it myself just readin up on my daily game news. But did a quick search and I found specs required are:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000 or better / Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0 Ghz or better
Memory: At least 1.5 GB RAM for XP / 2 GB or better for Windows Vista/7

Ive put togehter a PC of these specs for less than $500 a few years ago should be cheaper now adays if your looking to upgrade.

I can't help but snicker a bit... Even tho SOE messed up big time with SWG - SWG was never F2P.
For nostalgia I still miss the old SWG ... long live the SWG (emu)

If only they had listened to the fans and made KotOR 3 like they wanted instead of this dumbass MMO. They wouldn't be in the mess they are in and it wouldn't have pretty much ruined the whole KotOR timeline and the characters from the first two games.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Not to be a dissenting opinion or anything, but I love this game. It's my first MMO, and I didn't enjoy the concept at first, but it's really grown on me. Being in an active guild and completing flashpoints really makes the game fun for me. I had a blast finishing the Consular storyline and finally reaching level 50. And now I'm playing six other characters at various stages of progression.

Side note: I loved KOTOR and really liked KOTOR II. As much as I love SWTOR, I'd trade it all day every day for a KOTOR III.

Played beta but computer I have can't support it going to save up for a new one.

Well I knew it was probably going to happen, but after going on wookieepedia and reading what happens to the KotOR era, Reven, and the Exile and other characters, and that now one of the few good places left in Star Wars has been crapped on, enough has happened to the Star Wars E.U. that I can pretty much write off being a fan of Star Wars for almost all things after all these years. At one time it was a very nice ride, but the death throes of what was good about KotOR and post RotJ in the Star Wars slowly being killed off have made it's death long and agonizing.

(And I'm not even involving that MMOs are a very bad medium for anything but time wasting and general social interaction outside of the environment and far as plots and story telling goes.)

Too many stupid things done in the Star Wars E.U. over the past 12 years has pretty much soured it for me, maybe irreversibly.

I think you really loved The phantom menace, Attack of the clones, Revenge of the Sith and especially Jar Jar Binks. :surprise:

SWTOR seems like fun, but any MMO is a cash cow for the creators, but becomes silly quickly. I miss swKotor.

 

[Master Roshi]

I think I'm finally coming off of the digital crack high that is SWTOR, I had a lot of fun with this game for the past year

I'm surprised you lasted this long

You're not the only one...

Anybody else still playing this game regularly? I have four level 55 characters and I'm working on a fifth. I really enjoyed the quests on Oricon and Makeb and am looking forward to more end game content. It's the only MMORPG I've ever played, and I've never really gotten bored with it.
