I am a big SW fan with a collection of over 300 books.
A couple years ago I played Evony on line. It started with a couple nights a week and grew to the point where I became the head of our alliance (or whatever the heck it was called) of 50-100 players and I was on almost all of the time, before work, after work, in the middle of the night...even during work (a big no-no). It consumed my life and eventually I had to quit cold turkey. It was a huuuuge relief the day I stopped.
Well, here it is a couple years later and I am entertaining the thought of SWTOR because of my love of SW.
Does this game require lots of interaction with others?
Will I need to be on-line a lot to maintain any sort of resources or anything?
Will I have to join forces with others who will expect me to be on regularly to "do stuff"?
I do not want to bother even starting to play if I will be a detriment to others. I just want something I can go on for a couple hours here and there maybe once or twice a week...then maybe not play for a week or two.
I saw one person post this:
Also, my advice to enjoy SWTOR: play it like a single player game. It's awesome as a single player game that you play through for storyline, but most people find the endgame lacking (including myself, but I went into the game expecting to play it like a singe player game anyway).
which seemed to indicate this game would be a good fit for me. I am very interested in the storyline itself, but don't really want to eff someone else's game up if they are relying on me. Plus I do not want to have to rely a lot on others as I will be the idiot "noob" for awhile if not playing a whole lot and I am not really into begging the regulars for help.
Or is this like crack and should I just walk away now before I get massively addicted once again?
