Anyone?
Im more excited by GW2 than swtor tbh.
Yeah, i also didnt like GW1 so much, but the stuff ive seen for GW2 makes it look more interesting. I just see swtor being a mix of WoW and Dragon Age but in space. Neither are brilliant games imo. Take a look here if you want more info.

Because BioWare is making it. That's one of the main reasons since they are one of the last few respectable gaming companies. They were the creators of another Star Wars game, KoTOR which was awesome as well.
A ton of money is going into the development of this game. BioWare is really focusing on the storyline, where you as a character make moral decisions which affect how your character pans out. Very much like the Mass Effect/Dragon Age model in this respect. BioWare is also giving voiceovers to every quest in the game, which shows how polished of a game they're intending to make it.
That said, WoW players will still find similarities. There will be PvE and PvP (in the form of battlegrounds (called Warzones) and objective-based world PvP).
Here's a recent beta video of action inside one of the game's battlegrounds:

Here's some more various gameplay footage, showing how questing/NPC interaction works in the game. Sound quality is poor since it's at PAX I believe.

Maybe abit late response but...
SWTOR will have a monthly fee, GW2 wont so you are really free to play both at the same time.
Also TERA seems like a good game =)

SWTOR is like wow, only it looks 100% different. Wow is old, SWTOR is new.
Good developers with sick amounts of cash put into it.
If you dont want to play with fucking pandas in a pokemon game (wow) or mice/ wolfs? (GW2).
Montly fee, yes, Im putting this as a plus, quality games needs it.
Around 2.5 million people already bought the game.
Just like in boxing, second place is a loser. They are going for gold, first place. They want to "kill" wow and judging by how damn tired people are off wow they will.
SWTOR has so damn many new things, personal spaceship working as player housing? YES PLEASE. Guild starship? YES PLEASE (they ARE adding this, dont worry)
Gear can be uppgeraded in so many ways. Want a new barrel on your epic sniper rifle? Yeah, that shit can drop, same with trigger etc (think its 5 changable items on weapons, and thats not adding gems etc)
Classes look totally new
Planets, cities, viacles, No longer a middle age town (had its charm, but its getting so damn old!)
Companions that farm for you
etc
etc
If you dont even try this game its your loss.

Bah who said Blizzard got comfy with being number one?v Every time there was a so called WoW killer in the works blizzard would rip off the stuff from those games and add it to WoW before position was released.
Biggest exapmle i can come up with is WAR, with ability to queue for BGs from anywhere any time, BAM its in wow now isn't it.
Am sure that with Aeon and Rift blizzard ripped some stuff of into wow as well.
Now comes SWTOR with its old school like wow talent tries, and this time around Blizzard decides to go ahead and make their trees completely different hoping that new fresh trees will be more interesting to players then SWTORs old school ones.

Medan, do you have any clue if you will be able to invite people into ur spaceship?
Cause i will buy collectors edition, so im hoping for cool stuff to pimp out ma crib.
If you are grouped with somone you can invite them to your personal spaceship, I am 100% sure.
There is a VIP place in the main city that only collectors edition people can go to, there they have a special store. I dont think it offers anything for ship though.
Digital edition and CE people get flare, wich is pretty cool to signal where you are

Wow can add a lot of stuff from SWTOR, but most ppl are tired of wow now so it wont matter to many

I thought pre order only charged you a smal sum now and the rest when game launched.
You should check that out because pre order gives you early access. That can be up to 5 days, depending on when you pre ordered
