It is the game that got me more into mmorpgs, so I also have a good amount of nostalgia for it. Apparently, it's actually quite the cash cow for EA or Bioware, from what I have heard, and that really surprised me. It's in 'decline', but the whales have kept it and Bioware afloat for years. I don't really see them shutting it down 'soon' anymore, unless Bioware goes under, and/or EA has another replacement.
Playing SWTOR feels like taking an annual trip to an amusement park of your choice but realizing you've gotten physically too old for some rides so you have no choice but to take it easy and year by year, you end up doing one less ride than before.

I'm actually planning to play a month of it in April, despite its current "expansion", if you can even call it that.
