December 20, the release date of Star Wars: The Old Republic is around the corner. Besides, the Early Game Access for players who pre-order the game will begin on December 13, 2011 at 12:00 PM. Players are getting more and more excited, especially those funs who haven't participated in the beta test so far.

However, will this game truly be able to create an intriguing, "epic" story arch for every player considering all the logistical issues involved in an MMO experience? This question was asked at Quora.

The NDA was over, so anyone can say anything about their experiences. The answers essentially can be divided into two factions: most players who had gotten in and experienced the Star Wars: The Old Republic beta think it is epic,surprising, amazing and at least more fun than expected; while those haven't gotten in doubt that. Let's see how they think.

"I will do my level best in this answer to not break the terms of the beta agreement, but to explain myself. And...fair warning here that I'm a BioWare fangirl because I'm a game writer and they release the best-written games," Heidi McDonald, a Gamer & Design Intern @ Schell Games said.

"This beta tester's reaction is, quite simply, 'Oh. My. GOD!!!!!'"

"The game is simply epic in every way. I literally almost cried when they shut the beta down at midnight last night. I am obsessed. I will never play WoW again now that this game exists. I am traumatized at the thought that my characters will have been wiped. I was that involved, and that invested. I can't imagine even the pickiest person alive not stepping back and just being completely gobsmacked. It really is that awesome. "
