Why I love swtor

There’s a lot of doom and gloom posts floating around the net. They say that swtor was overhyped, that it’s failed to live up to promise and subscribers are leaving in droves.

With it being two and a half years old and the hard use it’s had I wasn’t surprised. What did surprise me was being told that I could get a free upgrade.
