Seriously, look at each developer's track record:
-Bioware has released many AAA+ titles that have dedicated fans, 90%+ reviews, and some of the best content in any game to date.
-Funcom has released AO in a crap state that didn't get near "complete" until after a year after it's initial retail release. They did the same with Age of Conan which still has another 5 months to go to reach that state.
Now, look at the backing companies:
-SW:TOR is backed by LucasArts (gold!) and EA international, which overlooking their many sports games they still pump out many great games.
-AoC is backed by Eidios, who is so far widely known for the Kain&Lych review buyout from Gamespot and even the attempted buying of reviews for the lastest Tomb Raider game.
So, I'm sure it's safe to say that SW:TOR won't have anything near the issues that AoC has/had because they're not being touched by the crappy companies that touched that game.
Back on topic: I'm interested with this game, but wonder with everyone having a Companion and being in a space hub (city), would the AI system lag the hell out of the area? Also,...Sith vs. Jedi...will this game be strongly PvP oriented to fit into the Star Wars universe? It needs to be, cause I would hate to go into a city and see 3-4 Sith running around without being able to strike them down on a Jedi.
