EA and BioWare announce more numbers from the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, their new Force-powered MMORPG. Word is: "Over this past weekend, players continued to flood the servers of the fastest-growing subscription MMO in history, immersing themselves in the game for over 5.5 million hours. Star Wars: The Old Republic is also proving to be a critical smash hit, with an average review score of 88*, making it the highest rated MMO of 2011, while also winning over 105 industry awards, including “Best Multiplayer Game of 2011” from MSNBC. Enthusiasm for The Old Republic has also gone viral, as over 1.6 million fans have viewed the Jedi vs. Sith Freeze Mob in Times Square on launch day, making it one of the most viewed videos on YouTube during this past weekend." Here is a breakdown:
- Over 60 million in-game hours – roughly equivalent to watching all six Star Wars movies over 4 million times
- Over 850,000 Sith Warriors and over 810,000 Jedi Knights created
- Over 260 million quests completed
- Over 44 million PvP battles
- Over 9 million space combat missions completed
- Over 3 billion NPCs killed

The quests and story were the actual driving elements that kept me playing, and not the levels/experience/etc. that WoW hooked on you
This is what I like about the game so far, I don't feel like I need to kill 40 rats to progress in the game, the leveling is almost unnoticeable.
I do agree that the game is virtually a single player game that "can be" an online cooperative game, just the same as Guild Wars is/was. I DO like that though, there are times that I only have an hour or so to nerd out so it works great for me and I can usually do a quest or two and feel like I accomplished something. With games like EQ (1) one hour did almost nothing.
I did my first Flash Point with two other players on Saturday night and had a BLAST. So the game is definitely more fun when you do some coop.
I plan on doing at least 3 stories - Good, Bad, Neutral.
When GW2 comes out I will jump on that as I totally enjoyed GW (1) and I want to support online cooperatives that DO NOT charge a monthly sub.
I think that SWTOR is a very good game, but no, I don't think it should have a monthly fee, or maybe $4.99 a month, but $13 is to much when Guild Wars was $0 a month and virtually the same game.
