OK, so I'll just give the reasons why I like the game and ignore the conversation that has been going on so far. I like ToR because it integrates a very nice single player game with some multi-player options that allow for a lot of ways to play with your friends. The single player campaign is engaging. Literally every NPC who gives you a quest is voice acted and has his own personality. Yeah, some of the sith are generic evil guys who want to kill shit but there are some gems in there too. Also, each CLASS has it's own quests with a huge overall story that makes it rather possible for you to level to end game without partying with anyone. That leads into the reason I like the multi-play. You don't NEED a full group. If your party has a tank, and 2 dps and one of you has a healer companion you don't need to run out and get a pug healer, you can just bring out the healer companion. Your group can be anywhere up to 4 people of any combination of healer, tank and 2 dps. Meaning 2 people with proper companions can run all the leveling dungeons by themselves. Now, if you DO have four people it also unlocks some cool stuff, as each human controlled character you have increases loot drops and drop rates on rare items, so you do get a bonus for having more than one friend. Overall I think it's a solid single-player game that, for a bit on incentive you can party with your friends in. I don't know what end game will be like but I like the game for now.
Also I play on Adjunta Pall with Beat and James and, I guess, sharkey, though I've never seen him!
