I thought this article rightfully deserved some exposure here, since it was posted only 9 days ago.

Enjoyed the game when it came out while running through the Inquisitor campaign. After that, didn't play it again until the Hutt expansion came out. Finished that for about $40 (expansion price + 30 day sub) and haven;t played since.

Fun, but would have been a better SP game.

Brief synopsis on whats changed? I never found the game bad, but it wasn't good either. Some quest lines where poorly balanced (fights so easy they where trivial to fights you where over your head in in same area), other where so badly setup you spent way to much time playing fetch (riding on flight paths or running in non combat areas for Minutes over and over is not good). I was back for the first time about a month ago and played about 4 hours and it felt pretty much like it did when I left. I wont deny 4 hours is maybe not long enough, and you did mention subscription. If I'm going to pay i need a reason too, all the emails i get from them to come back dont seem to have one.

and sorry cant read it game sites are blocked at work, that is why I was saying brief points at beginning.

based on recent Dev interviews, it seems like they're finally realizing that this game shines as a single-player game where you occasionally group up with other players.

That's basically how I play it.

The article is pretty much about 12x class quest xp, and apparently you no longer need to discover travel locations.

I enjoyed the game for a fairly long time and the xp bonus is kind of cool for seeing other stories, I am not really much of an alt person myself, I usually only start one up when I want to see the story ive done before again, or really want to try a differenct combat mechanic, but I always spend a rather large majority of my overall time on a single char. (Im one of those people that actually enjoys re reading books every couple of years).
