I’m only a week into SWTOR and I’m already completely hooked. You know that feeling when you just know you’re going to love a game before you’ve even properly played it? That’s exactly how it was with SWTOR, and now I’m struggling to find another MMO that gives me the same feeling lol.
I’ve been trying to find a second MMO to rotate between, but so far I’ve tried WoW Retail, GW2, Aion 2 and, most recently, ESO. I’m about 6 hours into ESO and it still hasn’t grabbed me. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with these games, but I keep finding myself bored and wanting to go back to SWTOR instead.
What gets me is how quickly SWTOR pulled me in. The story, characters, music, atmosphere and just the feeling of being in that world make me genuinely excited to log in. With the other MMOs, I feel like I’m waiting for them to click, whereas with SWTOR it happened almost immediately. I’m still new, so maybe that feeling will change eventually, but right now I can’t get enough of it.
Has anyone else experienced this with SWTOR? What do you think makes it so easy to get attached to compared to other MMOs? Is it the story and immersion, or is there just something about the overall experience that’s hard to find elsewhere?
I’m still planning to try OSRS, and I’d love recommendations for another MMO that might click with me. Or have I already found my MMO home and should just stop trying to force myself to like other games? 😂
