Jedi Knight will be my main, i'll post name when i am sure to get it.
Will also try Smuggler and Sith Assassin.
My Guild from WAR, Aion, DAoC, Rift is going there so will happily go with them, sadly they never wanted to come to P99 or Red99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I played both Beta week-ends and there is some fantastic things in that game.
Even if you take away the IP and the feeling that BioWare is doing better "Star Wars" things that Lucas is these days...
To sum it up as a WoW clone is going way too fast and completely by passing a lot of the game, it may look good on a forum but does not, imo, do the game justice.

Storylines are incredible for an online game, with the issue that you also see others doing the same thing (very odd feeling).
Character creation was a mess in Beta, hopefully will be very different in live.
The UI was a Joke, again should be changed in live.
The classes themselves really gave you the feeling to play that archetype, and that was very well rendered.
The combat system is good at lower levels, i cannot comment on it a high level since i did not try it.
Crafting looks promising and the other crew skills need to be explored.
Waiting to see how space travel and starships work now.
The voice on system is very nice, certainly immersive.
The constant instancing for storyline or small instances is certainly not the EQ way, but unavoidable for a large scale RPG.
Please note that I use the term RPG as i am not sure it is a full MMO yet, likely high level content will clarify that.
It is clear that choices have consequences (yay an RPG) and that you will not be able to get away with it with a few hours of faction grinding...
Companion system allows everyone to play a pet class if needed, at times too powerful but not more than a Mage or Necro.

Overall i would suggest peeps try it out really (ie 5 days + of played time) to have a real opinion for themselves.
Me my judgement is still out, even though positive for now.
