Will Star Wars: The Old Republic be aimed at the hardcore MMO player?
According to Gordon Walton during a Games Radar interview Bioware’s aim is to make a game that is accessible to the Star Wars fan, and the BioWare fan. Because really BioWare is a company that is about making a great RPG experience, not about making games for a hardcore MMO audience.

Endless. Being a massively multiplayer game when you reach max level you can join a guild, explore the rest of the universe, do more side quests or participate in player vs player (PvP).

How many hours of grinding will I need to reach max level?
They want to reduce the grind – removing the tedious fetch 10 and kill 20 quests that plague the genre – and tie everything into their story. They want to introduce genuine consequence, giving parties of players the kind of moral choices their single-player games have become famous for.

Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature mixed party quests. If a Smuggler and Jedi group and go to do the Smugglers quest line, there will be quests for the Jedi to do while helping Smuggler. This will happen for all classes so that players will always have some quests to work on while assisting others.
