Yep, this is going to be a great game. With the Star Wars name behind it, I believe it is the first MMO to actually have a chance to survive against WoW (not a WoW killer, just survive against it, haha).
Anyway, Like Beagle said, I've been playing beta and it's pretty great so far. It does need a beefy computer to run well, but that's just a great excuse to upgrade the ol' computer
So yes, I have a preorder in and will be playing this as soon as it's released!
