The editors didn't like
Only two maps available for PVP
No new story objectives
Quests are standard "kill and fetch"

The worlds feel strangely empty
Especially in large cities where you would expect people
The game unloads all of its textures when you AltTab out

Alright, let’s just get down to it. The Old Republic has everything an MMO needs. Addictive gameplay. Progressive rewards. Social interaction. Player versus player. Interesting character classes. A story that actually has some relevance to what you’re...
Abstract: A long time ago… in a galaxy that BioWare and EA recreated, the newest Star Wars MMO was born. Like the mighty phoenix, Star Wars Galaxies ends and Star Wars: The Old Republic rises up from the ashes. Trust me, by no means am I comparing Galaxies to Old R...
