I've been playing SWtOR like a religion since launch but finally quit last weekend after playing the guild wars 2 beta. The only really cool things about the game are the Star Wars IP, and to a lesser degree the single player storylines; neither of which is really all that great vs myriad other games out there. I'd recommend skipping this deal 'cuz if you were _really_ excited by the game, you'd likely have been playing it already. For everyone else, the game isn't bad, but it's definitely dying despite Bioware trying to claim otherwise. The game does some things well, but when compared to Wow, Eve, and other mmos, SWtOR needs another 3-6 months at least till it compares decently to the competition.
Hopefully in another 3-6 months Bioware will have polished/balanced the game into a more worthwhile state, but if not at least the price will have dropped much further or perhaps even headed towards free to play. If you give them your money at this stage of the game, don't expect more than 2-3 months of ho-hum content unless you are a very casual player.

The general public does not care how it will be in 6months. Ultimately how an MMO fares is how it does initially and SWTOR seems to have been a failure. Even if the game becomes great with patches and balancing, people aren't going to come back in droves and attract new players. The game is a sinking ship and at best they can patch the hole, but it will not ever be the same.

This is not the first time Ive read or heard that, and thus why I do believe its true. Quite a few seasoned MMO players n sites have repeated just that, no one cares how it will be 3-6 months from now, its about the launch.
It had all the money a dev could want and they wasted it on voice actors and went cheap on the game engine among a myriad of other things that could have been better.
Time will tell.

Game as of 1.2 (released Apr 12th 2012) is pretty solid... and subs supposedly haven't dropped at all per recent interviews (early May). I think they're in fine shape for SWTOR still.
Thats funny because I know a good group of people who have quit and everything I read says people are quitting in mass. GW2 is going to crush SWTOR when it comes out. The only reason SWTOR is even breathing still is because its really the only decent alternative to WoW at the moment.
All they did in patch 1.2 is add in shit that should have been in the BETA and ruin PvP.
Well the new wow expansion goes beta probably in a few months and will release a few months after that. I cannot imagine SWTOR faring well after Mists of Pandaria releases, even if it manages to mitigate most of the GW2 fallout.
