Just picked this game up last night.  I played SWG for the first three years, and wanted to give this a try.  Anyone playing?

Not I. I just can't get worked up over it. Too prequelly maybe?

Yes, so far, it is very "prequelly".  Not a fan of the first three episodes or the EU, so if the game play and the community are not exceptional, I will not be with it too long.

I play on Kaas City as a Republic Smuggler. The game hasn't been prequelly at all for me but that's probably because I haven't tried a force class. Given that the majority of what we know about Jedi comes from the prequels I wouldn't be surprised. =P The other classes like Smuggler and Imperial Agent that I've tried have been awesome and not prequelish in the least.

Well, it's been two days, and I am now addicted.  This is even starting to re-peek my interest in the franchise.  After playing the story line a bit, I now understand why this game was set in the Old Republic times.  It's holding my interest for sure.

So far, I am a Human Jedi Consular (lvl. 11).  Just about to do a mission to get the crystals to build my first lightsaber.  I may try making a dark-side characters this weekend.  This game is so fun, I am upgrading my PC by installing an additional 2gb. of RAM and a new 3.0 Ghz processor (my current runs 2.25 Ghz.).
