Same old KOTOR tropes, now in MMO form! Explore the seedy depths of a city world, run into criminal factions and slimy creatures, and pick up a couple of companions along the way. We've done this already and back then they didn't charge us every month for it!

They hype it to be really grand and enormous in scale but I have my doubts. I have a feeling that it's just going to consists of a few regions you can travel to, with sky boxes full of buildings in the distance.

I would love to be proven wrong though.
