It says something

that I've played City of Heroes (a seven year-old MMO) more in the last week or two than I have Star Wars: the Old Republic. (Of course, I've also probably played more Minecraft in the last week or two as well... and I finally have an idea for a mega-project.)

I suppose one factor in that is that I really quickly got to level 50 with my Smuggler in Star Wars, and doing a lot of the same missions on any other character is dull as hell. To note, outside of class-missions, you pretty much end up with the same exact progression on either the Republic or the Sith Empire. You get off of your starting planet, and "Oh look, the same exact chain of missions..."

It's not that there's not a good amount of content... there is. But it's all so new and fresh in my mind that it's... sort of stale in it's own way. There are a lot of people who want to do end-game content, but they want to do speed runs, or expect everyone to know the whole thing down pat...

Whereas in City of Heroes, they're adding stuff all the time. (Yes, I know, SWToR will be adding stuff.... the 1.2 patch is coming within the next couple of weeks.) But the CoH players seem to be more forgiving, and it's more fun. (Of course, it doesn't help that every time I try PvP in SWToR, I get my ass kicked.)
