There's actually a TOR user group FYI, and of course the reason why people don't talk much about it is because the NDA is very strict and surprisingly holding quite tightly for a game tested such a long time.

Anyways, I was just wondering about what everyone thinks about it. Will it be the game that finally drives WoW down to second place? Is anyone besides me super excited about it?
I am quite excited about it, though mostly because it seems like I'll be able to play it as an
extremely long Bioware game. The MMO parts are fluff I may get into or I may not, depending on if some other friends play and they don't try to bother my solo'ing too much.
As for TOR dethroning WoW... yes and no, I think. WoW's time is coming to an end (and by end I mean it will only have a couple million or so subs), but I don't think another game will properly dethrone it, but rather WoW's individual fan sections will divide off into other games that promise real innovations over what WoW did.
Those looking for a good story and immersion will head to TOR, GW2 for PVP and a more reactive world, Planetfall 2 for the people who want more shooting... etc.
I'm sure TOR will have a huge opening month (probably the highest ever), but if the game will retain more than a million, or sink into a slow, obscure death like Warhammer, we shall have to see.
