These 6 minutes were better than all 3 of the Prequels combined.

Is it possible tha this game is going to be TOO huge and TOO expansive, or is there any such thing for a SW game?

I've never been a MMO guy, but this game looks like it will dwarf anything that came before it. And frankly, I'm kinda glad I'm not a MMO guy, because I'm pretty sure I would lose my life to this game if I were.

From some players' perspective it may be. We've been programmed to look at MMOs as something you race through to reach the level cap and raid. And this is a game with 200+ hour class stories, without even exploring, doing world arcs or heroic quests or pvping or anything else. And I think that may be daunting to some.
Just speaking for myself, I'm a player who enjoys trying different classes out. Assuming my account ever gets fixed (I was hacked and had all 9 of my toons deleted...) I have 6 level-capped characters in LotRO. I'll do the same thing in TOR. However, it will take me (literally) a year to do it. Minimum. Because we're talking about 1600 hours of just class story. 66 days real time. (good grief) |

I didn't see it myself, but apparently Daniel Erickson said a few minutes ago on Gamespot's live feed that there will not be an open beta, essentially because the audience for the game is too large.

Of all the classes, what overall percentage of players will choose to be jedi/sith?
Half?

Although I'm seeing a lot of interest in agent, bounty hunter, smuggler and trooper, much more than I expected. I've been planning on playing a Consular since the game was announced, but I think every class looks like it could be both unique and fun. Which is not something I've really encountered in an MMO before. I know in EQ I basically wanted to be a bard and nothing else, and in WoW I was a warrior 99% of the time and a mage 1%. I can't even decide which class I want my first alt to be. All the non jedi/sith classes look really cool to me (agent/bounty hunter in particular). |

The thing that's going to be cool about TOR is that it's a different game every time you level a toon. So not only is your Smuggler going to play completely differently from your Jedi Knight, he's going to have a 200 hour story arc that you haven't seen.
That's been my biggest hurdle in the past. In LotRO I have (had) 6 capped toons. And unfortunately every single one of them had to do the exact same quests and areas to reach that level. It gets so tedious... So TOR is kind of a godsend in that regard. |

A toon is a character.
