I'm really disappointed in SWTOR

Some/many of you may have read how I thought SWTOR was so amazing in my previous thread. But, after playing a week...I just can't login anymore.
I made it to Tatooine, my favorite planet in Star Wars and it was so empty. No one chatting, never see anyone questing or anything. I noticed the further I got, the less people I saw. Maybe it was the server I chose, but I only chose it since my friend (who stopped playing a couple days ago) was on it, too. And I don't want to reroll after all that work.
Also, after a while...the voices just got on my nerves. I really liked Mass Effect voice acting and Dragon Age 1 was good, too....but I felt outside the main class story, the voice acting was often really weak. Literally, the words on my spacebar are almost worn off since I just started hitting the key so often. Then it felt like a sub-par game, that WoW (my first MMO) does way better. Even PvP in WoW is a lot more fun, even if it is more aimed for PvE. SWTOR is my second MMO, but I think I may go back to WoW, since it has tons of content and a lot of people still play it.
Another big problem is everything felt so...static. In WoW, there is a day/night cycle, which I think is the first MMO to do a 24/7 one in real time. And NPCs (not all, but many) have set paths to make the cities and game feel alive. In SWTOR, all the NPCs are just static test dummies that have no purpose.
I know my review was really good in my last thread...that was after 10 hours of playing or so, and I was having tons of fun. But after a week of playing, SWTOR is a big disappointment. It was a fun week, but after 6 days, it just started feeling so tedious and the 7th day I barely wanted to login. Now this is a little over the 8th day of playing, and I don't think I'll be subbing past my free month. Maybe log on once in a while and see if the spark of life comes back for me, for SWTOR...like it did when I first started.

The best thing that has come out of SWTOR is watching the fanboys squirm at the fact that their game turned out to be a failure in so, so many respects.
I will at least give you props for being able to admit you were wrong.
Edit: Nevermind, I just looked at your other thread and you don't deserve any sort of props. You were a fool for thinking that highly of SWTOR less than a week into it and deserve to be disappointed.
join the loooooooooong list my friend.
Welcome to club!
Wait...waht? It's only been a short time ago(I mean like what - 7 days!) that you proclaimed this game the best MMO to come out since WoW. ::boggle::

/facepalm to anyone that thought this game was going to be anything near good...

SWTOR in a nutshell
I'd actually give it close to 30 levels, myself. At that point, however, it starts to barrel roll downhill.
I knew what I was buying before I bought the game. I looked at it like buying a single player RPG, so I wasn't all THAT disappointed. I feel like I got my moneys worth out of it, but it's nowhere on my list of top MMOs, that's for certain. How do I "feel" about the game? I'm over all unmoved by it. I have no strong feelings about it one way or the other.

How can you feel like you got your money's worth when you paid $60 for a game you can only play for one month?
I'm feeling the same way OP.
I'm so disapointed in this game. I waited for 5 years, reading the website at least once a month in anticipation for this game. What a letdown.
I just got to level 50 and I'm tired of running the same tiny WZ's ten times a day for my dailies. I'm on a low pop server that was medium/high at launch and there is noone running level 50 FP's or OPS. So I either reroll, or continue to grind the terrible PVP - no thanks.
Is it too much to ask for MMO makers to get creative and make a game that offers more than lame gear grind at end game? Not everyone has the patience to wait 3-4 hours for a instance group or to grind the same 3 WZ's everyday.
I might check this game out again in a few months but as of today I canceled my sub.
I'm happy to say I have yet to buy this game or play it. I will continue on this path forever or till the game closes and I don't see anymore disappointed player posts.
Whenever I hear the 'money's worth' for a month of play argument with regards to an MMO I always wonder: Being an MMO shouldn't you have an expectation going in to play longer than a month? And if you didn't have that expecation going in, isn't that an indictment of the game anyway given that its an MMO? Also, unlike stand alone rpg's, unless you pay again, you can't play again. That alone makes the expectation that the game is playable for more than a month much more important, and imo, to some degree a waste of money on the box price if you feel its not.
OMG! was in tears watching that....thanks for the laugh.

I hope you learned that reviewing a game after 10 hours is absurd, good or bad. An uncountable number of people need to learn this valuable lesson, both "professional" reviewers and the rest of us alike.
You don't play games that have disappointed player posts?
I'm sorry you can't play any games.
I agree, a great laugh before I turn in for the night.

LOLOLOL! That was priceless!
Warhammer ruined me from ever getting hyped up over an mmo at release...forever. In beta I could see Swtor suffering the same mistakes and even more than Warhammer. Bioware ignored testers that werent fanbois and are now going to suffer as Mythic did. Egos got in the way and testers were ignored. Sorry but Bioware dug the hole.....
What happens when you log off your characters????.....
