Did you try Jump to Lightspeed in SWG (flying the ships)? That is pretty fast action for SWG.
I think you’ll enjoy WoW. I liked it a lot more than SWG, but I am also more of a D&D-type.
It’s very difficult to find a game that you can truly enjoy. I’ve played UO, EQ, DAoC, SB, SWG, CoH, and WoW and bounced back and forth between several of them.
For the last 5 months, I have not had any games to play for any extended period of time, most only a couple of weeks before boredom sets in. But… D&D Online should be out sometime this winter! It’ll be great to get back into the evil mage Balandar persona again.
