Anyone else waiting for this?

Been an MMO'er since 98. Everquest is the only game that ive played consistently. second longest would have to be Wow, but game I enjoyed 2nd most was always SWG until they ruined it. EQ is showing its age and ive seen/done everything, so I'm extremely excited for this.

I'd really like to look forward to it, but I'm expecting either a massive storyteller failtaco or gamebreaking system flaw/imba. At least it'll look pretty.
*EDIT* Clarify the storyteller failtaco I smell:
How does one go about gaining levels and making money in a civil society? Granted you're at war, but you never see Jedi looting Stormtroopers for cash or upgrades. And supposing you choose a merchant class, which there appears to be. Farming gets boring very quickly. Who wants to perform a virtual job for virtual money? Being a virtual merchant in an MMO seems dull. Now, if this is all done WoW style where everything has loot, there's instances, etc, it's very poorly Lore oriented. If it's not done WoW style and things are dynamic and constant (so you're not fighting the same Stormtrooper battle 500 times grinding for that one weapon) you get the system break of people miss content and the devs are going to run out of ideas quickly since everything has to be original somehow.

So, in conclusion, I love the idea, but I really will have to wait for release and trials open up before buying. Mixing Star Wars and MMO just doesn't sound like it works on paper at a glance.

Im a little worried myself, but I was lucky enough to play ( and nearly achieve jedi) in SWG back before the game got ruined by the NGE. So Ive seen from experience that the game CAN work, and I think if anyone has a good shot at doing it right, its definitely Bioware.

I am really concered about everyone being able to just create a jedi on a wim though. Im worried the entire game will be full of jedi's. Atleast in SWG it could take over a year (real life time) to become one, and made them something special to see.
