A decision that will be surprise none of you: I have cancelled my subscription to Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Don’t break out the popcorn yet, this isn’t going to be one of those "I Quit" rage posts. Far from it. I fully intend to return to The Old Republic and at the very least, reach level cap and finish my class story. TOR only has a few minor annoyances that I’m sure will get ironed out by the time I return, and – for the type of MMO it is – it’s quite a good game. Honestly!
I was hesitant to get into the game at launch because I’m still burned-out on the traditional Diku/Trinity MMO. It’s why I haven’t touched my main MMO, Lord of the Rings Online in the past 10 months. I should have listened to my instinct, because right now I am still in the burnout stage, causing TOR to have exactly zero "pull" to play it. Today marked 3.5 weeks since my last play session, and since with a subscription you pay no matter what, I decided the smart thing to do would just be cancel until I want to play for my own enjoyment, not because it’s what the blogger bandwagon is doing at the moment.
Fear not, I shall return some day. I was finally starting to enjoy my character after he got some better-looking equipment, and I do look forward to going full Dark Side with him!
The Sith will conquer the galaxy!
Just not today…

Excellent decision. I was surprised when you started playing exactly because you seemed burned out still on the standard MMO, and there’s no sense playing a game if it’s not fun no matter how many people are chatting constantly about it on G+ or Twitter.
I was heartily tempted to try out LoL a few months back for the same reasons, but luckily watching a few gameplay videos was enough to regain a grip on my self control.
