TOR is a bad single player game with a chatroom and some 4-, 8- and 16-person multiplayer levels.

There's seriously never a game I've felt less sense of community in at release. I leveled from 1-46 on my op and aside from flashpoints and group quests pretty much never ran into or interacted with anyone else at all. There is no sense whatsoever of a living, breathing world. SWG did a way better job of giving you the feeling of actually existing in a world with other people.

TOR's world design is a lot more like a single player game than an MMO and Yuki is right that there isn't a good sense of community.
That said, it is still a good game overall and community is often what you make of it.

If you just think of it as a single player game with a graphical chatroom (fleet) and some multiplayer levels tacked on I agree it's not a bad game.
It's not much of an MMO though.

Isn't that what MMOs have become though?
The fact the game world is divided into planets doesn't help. They also limit the number of people in an area which makes the worlds empty.

And the fact that group content is almost all accessed from the chat hub via shuttles. It gives no sense of a world if every "dungeon" you do is just hopping on a shuttle and appearing at a disembodied location connected to nothing else in any way.
For all SWG's faults it did a good job of making you feel like a member of a galactic community. A lot of that had to do with the seamless planets and the ability for people to influence the world in ways visible to other players.
SWTOR hides you from all the other players of the game as much as it can.
