Several centuries ago, the greatest threat the galaxy has ever known emerged in the form of the dark Sith Empire. After a volatile war, the Republic emerged victorious and the Sith were assumed to be extinct. Nonetheless, the Jedi have maintained a constant vigil over the ancient Sith homeworld, Korriban, to protect the galaxy from the darkness that still resides in the planet's tombs.Though a small group of survivors escaped to warn of the Imperial invasion, it was only a minor reprieve for the Republic. Korriban was one of several worlds to fall in the initial onslaught, and in the years that followed, the Republic suffered many more painful defeats. Emboldened by their numerous victories, the Empire soon moved to conquer the Core Worlds, luring the Republic fleet out of position and launching a surprise attack against the noble world of Alderaan.The courageous stand on Alderaan rallied the spirits of Republic defenders across the galaxy, but the balance of the power remained in the Empire's favor. This only fueled the surprise felt when the Imperial Dark Council extended the offer to the Republic to engage in peace negotiations. Suspecting possible treachery, Republic officials agreed to meet on Alderaan, but insisted that the Jedi Order marshal all its resources to provide comprehensive security. The Jedi complied, sending most senior members of the Order to Alderaan, and leaving only a token force in the Temple on Coruscant...After destroying the Jedi Temple and overwhelming the Republic's defenses, Imperial forces occupied Coruscant, holding the planet hostage while negotiations restarted on Alderaan. With their capital at stake, Republic officials had little choice but to agree to the Empire's terms.The Treaty of Coruscant was signed, forcing the Republic to cede control of several star systems and to acknowledge new boundaries of Imperial dominion. Though the treaty brought about an official end to the war, tensions between the two sides have remained high over the last several years, and now, a return to open war seems all but inevitable...

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="alessandro2727"]can i play the game in single player like mass effect , and do the mission until finish the game ?alessandro2727

Most of them, but some u will need help from other players.

Is there ending for the story ? And how many hours the storyline ?

I'm not trying to rain on your parade or anything but if you're asking these questions as if you don't want to intereact with other players then I don't think an MMO is for you! Just giving my opinion! :)

I agree about the difficulty, the Beta was too easy. But now I find the difficulty to be just right. Much harder than WoW in its current state (you can actually die).

Leveling actually takes a lot more time and effort than WoW. That was the first thing I noticed with progression.

It's a good thing though. It gives you time to enjoy the content. I''m thankful it isn't a true grindfest like WoW where pretty much the only and main objective is to get to 85. :roll:

Yup. WoW's grind was unforgiving. But with any MMOG, there will always be a grind. Luckily for SWTOR, its story element, dialogue, and presentation keeps things entertaining while you do it.
