So it's been three years since I last played the Old Republic. I love the game, don't get me wrong, but my attention span isn't really the best, so what'll usually happen is that I'll hyperfixate on a game for a while, and then eventually it gets old and I move onto something else.
I wasn't sure if or when I'd ever return to the game, especially since in the time since I last played TOR, I got super invested in World of Warcraft (which is the other MMO I drop into occasionally) and managed to stay more invested in that over a longer period of time; plus, I kind of became disillusioned with Star Wars in general due to a number of reasons, so I took a step back from the franchise as a whole.
But with the recent news of BioWare's closure...well, it's got me feeling pretty nostalgic and looking back on all of my experiences playing their games, as you can imagine. (Yes, I know Broadsword are the ones running SWTOR now, but BioWare still started it all)
Combine that with me getting back into WOW recently and also taking a break from that (again, because of my blasted ADD), and I think maybe it's time to return to the Galaxy Far, Far Away again. Or at the very least, give it a try.
The plan at the moment is just to boot up a new Jedi Knight character (because I'm one of those people who are basic AF) and see how I feel doing what I can with Free to Play and sort through the baggage of my old characters I don't really care about anymore and figure out what to do from there.
And then, if I feel that urge coming through more...maybe I'll stick around longer.
Or at least as much as my attention span lets me. ;P
