A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
The Sith attack the Republic and all hopes for peace are lost again.
You can be the hero, the star of the show.
or You can be the villian, destroying everything in your path.
Which path will you choose?
Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMORPG based on the olden times of the infamous Star Wars series. SWTOR has also been listed as the MMO with the fastest-growing community, reaching a million subscribers in just three days from its launch in December 20, 2011.
The game depicts you as the main character, and you have to choose your faction, species, class and looks of your character. Ultimately, you will embark on a journey, saving- or destroying the people you meet. When you have played about 4-5 hours of the game you will receive your first companion. Your companion will assist you on combat, politics and other things you can't do. At Level 10, you will have to choose an advanced class that fits your style of play.
The two factions that you will be able to choose from when you begin are the Republic and the Sith Empire. The Republic's classes are Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler and Trooper. For the Sith Empire, it is the Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent.
One class or another, in your journey, you will meet powerful mobs and you have to defeat them, teamwork is the key sometimes when you group together with other players to defeat bosses and enormous war droids.
The only downside of the game is the duration it takes to download the game. It takes more than three hours to download from the online client but will take less than 20 minutes to download it if you purchase a disc from a nearby game store. The fees for subscription is fair but it has definitely more privileges than free to play.
I shan't reveal too much surprises. Go try the game for yourself now!
