Star Wars: The Old Republic
Diddly:
Shmash, the only MMORPG I've ever played was Everquest waaaaay back when I first got my PS2 hooked up to the Internet (like 10 years ago), and that was only a month long trial. I have a coworker playing, which was why I snagged the game in the first place.
Runs fine on my year old laptop, although I have it set on "low" graphic settings. Characters still look fantastic though, and the only thing I don't get to see is all the details in walls and floors. Oh no!
Anyway, I'm on the Harbinger server as a Bounty Hunter named Dralco, although I'm hoping I can get an account on a server with some JD peeps.

My gf's kid's laptop isn't running it so well, or they're on when it's really busy or something. NOt sure which could be the case, so I'm (still) downloading and gonna see how it rolls on this laptop... I figure if it's smooth enough on semi decent settings, I'm probably in. If not, I'm passing till I someday get a new desktop. My desktop is really outdated and I've needed one for years now, but just haven't taken the plunge to have a new machine built.

@Diddly, heh I played that version of EQ also (I still have my copy of that PS2 version), plus, before that I played on the computer. Then I did a little Dark Ages of Camelot, some Guild Wars, and a whole lot of WoW (I was on a top rading guild on our server before we all crash and burned of boredom/grinding).
Anyway, about SWTOR, when I did the BETA it was on my desktop which I am pretty sure I built it around 2 years ago and I made it near top of the line at the time - the game always ran smooth as silk for me during BETA. I am pretty sure this game does not require the most demanding of CPU requirements, but it also delivers.
The game is really easy to get the hang of, just remember to go find your trainers and train up when you lvl. I had no clue where the BH trainer was when I did the beta and I got to like lvl 12 with ease using like only 3 skills or something before I finally found him (I must not have been paying attention somewhere).
The only thing holding me back is time and money, and my weight (235-240)... lol! I am trying to get more active and this would do the exact opposite...
Jesse James:
I played for about an hour last night... On low settings (and my PC is almost exactly one year old) it still was slightly choppy till I got to a large building with lots of activity where it got insanely choppy. I set everything to the lowest settings and it's running smoother. Kind of disappointed in that, but it is running smoothly at the lowest settings which is good.

Well, I thought I was going to get some playing in tonight, but dang this DL is huge! Game requires 25 gigs? lol I made the wrong decision installing on my SSD. I have no room left!
