Its 'alright' I guess
Nah, thats a damn fine read! I have lots of quibbles about it, but they are trivial stuff like "SWTOR uses a Warhammer-like Quest-helper system" which was, of course stolen from wow which stole it from mmos before it
, but the article is informative as hell and well worth a read.
I especially love all the smuggler and inquistor info (not that I'm bias or anything
)
Oh and from an experienced MMO'er viewpoint I'd just like to say:

Tiered Maps
As you go up and down stairs searching for your quests you will see the mini-map and world map change to reflect what is on that level. This allows them to “stack” maps on top of each other and yet still allow players to navigate non-instanced floors without receiving information overload. This implies that we could be seeing much more depth and complexity from the dungeons and buildings in The Old Republic.
Thank the gods! at LAST!
And companions sound like Hunter pets in wow - I hope we don't have to "feed" them as well
Although from the info about them it looks like you can really tailor how your character plays depending on whom you have with you - nice touch.
and this had me grinning like a loon:
- DarthHater Article, Sith Inquisitor/Powers and abilities wrote:
Dark Meditation – This is the Sith Inquisitor’s out of combat (OOC) heal. It replenishes force bar as well as health.
Dark Gift – This is a healing ability that can be used on the Inquisitor or an ally. This ability can be used in and out of combat.
Guess we do have healers
also that ties in nicely with the fact I've said on my her wiki that Aleena knows
Drain Life. Awesome.
