should i get wow or swtor?

hey guys im wondering what game i should get?

Personally, World of Warcraft is much, much better in the vanilla days (that's all I played until endgame). SWTOR is like a multiplayer KOTOR 3. I cannot honestly say it matches half of my experience in World of Warcraft though. WoW (vanilla) was amazing. SWTOR is solid all around, and even better if you're a Star Wars fan.

But then again, I'm only a lvl 9 bounty hunter, and lvl 8 jedi knight. It's too early to tell. But even as lower level characters in WoW, i had more fun.

i love star wars but it kind of disappoints me that it uses origins. i was thinking about WoW because they offer diablo 3 for free (do they still offer it?)SimplyFatal

Personally I'm jumping on the annual subscription :P, I want that charger and I also get to go in the MoP beta which I'm extremely exited about, I might not be in the mood for WoW right now, I probably won't even play 20% of those 365 days, but I also received 2x60 days worth of game time from friends (Christmas and all) so technically I only need to pay for 4 months since I do buy around 4 months of WoW time in general every year (at least), 4 months means less than the price of Diablo 3 which I'll get for free (EU), even if I REALLY want the CE, I'll just get that and the bonuses and get the Diablo 3 CE a few months after.

As for SWTOR, I'll give it a few more months, MMOs at release aren't pretty, no matter how much people say they enjoy it, I'll probably get it and play that month in March or April.

It's probably not worth getting into WoW now, it's only going downhill from here. As far as SWTOR, I've been having a great time with it.. it's a must buy if you are a star wars fan.

don't know why you are unsure about this, wow beats every game so far for me

I would go with SWTOR. Because the game is new and pretty much everyone is low level and learning the game. WoW is full of high level guys that have been playing for years that won't have time to help and team up with you and all the established guilds won't recruit you.

i played wow until level 60 and that game is totally aimless. do not waste time.MonsterMMORPG

I played Wow for well over a year, probably longer, I have been playing SWTOR for a few days. I would say SWTOR, But I very much loved the KOTOR games, and This seems like a very flexible Multiplayer KOTOR.

I will not be going back to WOW, at all. With SWTOR, and Diablo III, most of my gaming time will be taken up, I have to find time to play other games I want to play, and sure won't have time for games I am no longer interested in.

As long as you don't shoot to get to the last (available) level in SWTOR with your character, as fast as you can, you should be able to get quite a bit out of it.

I found WoW to be a very disappointing game after I'd heard such great things about it. It was just far too easy and I could get by repeating the same attacks over and over again.

It far too easy to be considered interesting, but at the same time it still requires more input than mmos like Runescape, so It's hardly the most relaxing MMO out there either. I don't understand the games appeal.

SWTOR is a great game and elevates mmorpgs to a new level.After playing the last week, I still can't believe how amazing it is...the whole game feels like I'm in "The Empire Strikes Back". It has that great darknes to it andthe Empire side, you can really be a nasty badass.

I will not be renewingWOW next month and already said goodbye to my guildmates. Hands down SWTOR is so much better tha WOW.

Tell me, how is the old republic groundbreaking. Just explain to me why it is so groundbreaking.

Bioware and EA has everyone thinking it's groundbreaking, but when you think about it, it's not groundbreaking at all.

im getting the game tomorrow guys thanks for all your comments!!!! im going nuts looking at these trailers and gameplay vids :DDDDDSimplyFatal

- The beginnings of MMO's are always a bit rough.

- A lot of the people who recommend the game and talk of 'O what a delight this is to play, it has revolutionized the genre completely!' have barely stepped foot in it and are blinded by the "New game!" feelin'.

- In regards to the prior, they are also still rockin the lower levels. Remember Age of Conan? Yeah, that game was a blast for the first 20 levels or so. The content after that was bad. It's hard to say if SWTOR even has enough content to keep it interesting in higher levels, or if the only point in the game so far is leveling up and doing quests.

I think that's the only reason to wait because of the queue times. If you're stuck in a 2 hour queue, you're not going to get much time in with your free month. Basically, I think most MMOs are worth if you playan average2 hours a day for the first month. That means you got 60 hours of gameplay for $60, not a bad deal to me.
