See Above:
It's a MMO, yes. There will be other people there. You can't change that. However! This isn't a FFXI nightmare where you have to have a full team at all times or die trying. You can play the main storyline of each of the classes, likely, pretending you are the only one there. With the companions, you likely could do some of the easier group quests as well. I would definitely say don't let the online aspect of it turn you off. I'm still convinced that Bioware is one of the best developer groups out there, and should give every one of their games a try (despite the hubbub over DA2). At worst, your ignore list is full of trolls... At best you meet awesome people like me to play with. =D
Incidentally, I personally don't think the extra gimmicks you get from the deluxe version are worth the price, but that's just me. The Collector edition had some nice goodies, but I was slow on the ball and all them got sold out, and you'll be lucky to get one from a scalper for under $150.

Quote:Overall, The Old Republic is....technically an MMO. But it's more accurately KOTOR 3, now with multiplayer.
