And I hold up a big "meh" to SW:G. And I sit on my thumbs waiting for World of Warcraft, which looks to be far superior.

The two are completely incomparable in any real sense. Comparing an MMORPG to any other sort of game is like comparing fishing to eating some crisps. You may enjoy both, or one or the other; but saying "what are you doing fishing when you could be eating crisps" is silly.
The on-line aspect IS the game. The friendly community is a huge part of why MMORPG-ing is a pleasant way to pass time.
Besides, as a member of the online gaming community, I can tell you now that the thought of having lengthy interactions with millions of retarded children that can barely speak english yet are somehow able to use a mouse/keyboard combination really doesn't turn me on as much as you might think.
You’ll also find your average MMORPG person is a lot more pleasant than your average DEATH MATCH SUPAR FIGHTEING INERNAT DATA COMPUTAR GAME XIVVM 2003 player. Horrible generalization, I know, but from my experience it’s true.

Exactly, and I'd have to say I'd prefer crisps to fishing anytime, although unlike MMORPG,s I haven't been fishing before. I have had experience with these types of games in the past, enough to know that I just don't like them, they don't offer me the same entertaining time I'd have with a single player RPG, hence the reference to Rebublic.
