	Realistically, upon launch it became a formidable rival to [[World of Warcraft]], the largest and most respected MMO ever created. For three months after its initial launch, it gained new subscribers faster than any other game had ever gained, including WoW and Everquest 2. Journalists and reviewers praised it before its launch, telling the public it was the best thing to ever happen to Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games. Beta players gushed on every social media outlet they could find, and the pre-order boxes that contained a statue of the Darth Vader flavor of the game (because everything Star Wars has one, don't you know) vanished as soon as they were available. With the flop of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, where [[Blizzard]] had tried to hard to energize the game and simply irritated older players with new lackluster fluff and more already-outdated pop culture references than new Simpsons episodes, it almost seemed that the fate of that game had been sealed.

	It seemed inevitable. This game was going to be the true WoW killer, after years of literally every MMO (including the ill-fated [[Warhammer Online]]) receiving the same praise but failing even before launch to impress. Within ten years, it was said people would forget WoW even existed and younger players would laugh at former hardcore WoW veterans whose game had been dethroned of its place.		It seemed inevitable.

			The game started strong, with a number of CGI trailers depicting the conflict between the Republic and the Sith Empire. The game actually picks up some twenty years later, where things have simmered into a sort of Cold War between the Republic and Empire.

	Star Wars: The Old Republic is an [[MMORPG]] set in the Star Wars universe. Produced by Bioware, and set in the era following the two madly popular Knights of the Old Republic games, there was no game as hyped for by the gaming community. When it was announced it labelled as ~~the~~ the real deal, the "ultimate WoW killer" (according to some people).		Star Wars: The Old Republic is an [[MMORPG]] set in the Star Wars universe.

Return of the Je- ...that guy people really wanted

	Recently, the developers have started paying attention to their customers and have introduced content for things that players really wanted, like customisable housing and guild capital ships. As well as a plot arc involving "tactical" dungeon crawling that isn't as strict on party make-up, so required less time sitting queued in group finder.		Recently, the developers have started paying attention to their customers and have introduced content for things that players really wanted, like customisable housing and guild capital ships. As well as a plot arc involving "tactical" dungeon crawling that isn't as strict on party make-up, so required less time sitting queued in group finder.

	While it is certainly too early to tell if it will re-invigorate the game, the current plot arc has now ended with the return of '''Revan''' - that guy who you played as in the very first KOTOR and cleaned up after in the second KOTOR. Possibly turning the next major expansion for the game into a proper third instalment and perhaps a completion of the entire plot arc, which was something that was promised at the very beginning.

Revan turns out to be a crazy megalomaniac after being tortured for three hundred years and players have to kill him.

	Up until this point you only got to encounter him once on either faction and for only the briefest of side-missions which was not actually essential to progress your story, rather than having him as the major player that the previous games and all the surrounding fiction made him out to be. Even allowing you to beat him in a mid-level boss fight, turning who was supposed to be the most badass character in the star wars universe into a bit of a pansy.

	Unfortunately, the damage done early in the game's history appears to have become irreversible, and even his reappearance does not seem to be enough to counter the game's inevitable decline. That being said, their latest [[Derp\|"promise"]] now seems to be a focus on storytelling, since they've implemented about as much as they can with the aforementioned customisable housing and the micro-transaction system. They've indicated that more large expansion packs will be coming in 2015, giving players more meat to grind through.
