The Sith were always the coolest part of Star Wars to me. I sort of regret not being able to get into the MMO itself. I chalk it up to so many MMO’s all coming out within a handful of years so some simply didn’t click for me.
This hits the nail on the head, to me at least. Nothing quite brings to light the expenditure of a finite lifespan, as engaging the eighth pack of Skytroopers to get a sliver of storytelling.
The story had some promise. Just not enough.

It’s aesthetically gorgeous, love lightspears and just about everything going on there
Been a minute since I’ve played it all the way through but I do remember enjoying some of the story beats too, just fumbled in a few of the big plot points

One of my favourite MMO characters. Made a scrappy little Rattataki Inquisitor gal who picked, gleefully every available Force Lightning option. That was never an option, only an inevitability.
She was like an electric cockroach; stepping on her just made her more powerful, and she knew it.
The voice acting was perfect

The biggest harm to it I think was how it was early access. Because it made them rely heavily on pushing out filler chapters, which makes it a big slog.
I played when it was mid-release, and it was really boring.
As said just above in this post, it was because of the EA thing. By only releasing a new chapter every 3 months, they also encouraged people to sub to “get the story early”. But to earn as much as possible, most of these stories were really slow and didn’t progress the plot.
Now that it is completed and you can play all of it at once its even worse due to how long it feels.
I also dislike that they took away story Co-OP and made the story strictly singleplayer. Makeb and Hutt Cartel was really fun like that.

Co-op ‘dungeons’ in the base game were hilarious, especially when running mostly Sith BUT with a Bounty Hunter thrown into the mix;
“Excuse me, no, we’re doing it this way. I AM getting paid.”

It was also a pretty fun and novel idea because the original 1-50 stories aren’t separate canon. Each one is an actual event in the story, just at different times.
All of them happen in the universe and plot. The reason the emperor needs the warrior as his wrath is because of the JK story. The reason he goes silent in the Inquisitor story is also because of it.
It was a cool spin on an MMO with a story. And that it then continued into hutt cartel with proper co-op was great.
Then they scrapped it for a Revan fan expansion and then Eternal Empire.
Also Revan is a boring character, don’t fight me on this.

I also miss my Cathar Sith Warrior.
Gameplay wise, he was mostly Light Side. Which was a little hilarious, because in RP he was absolutely 100% a Sith - polite, calculating, cultured, and a carefully contained volcano of absolutely seething, 
- frag-mad fury.
He was so much fun >:3

the whole interesting part of Revan is that you were them. instantly deflates the second they try to be a character on their own
also, keep your mask on you buffoon you child that is your entire deal

I’m hardly going to fight an objective truth.
Cannonising one narrow aspect of a previous player character never ends well/is a good idea.

It also did not help his likeability that they pulled a Scarlet Crusade with him.
How did a bunch of jungle outcasts on Dromund Kaas become the most powerful force in the galaxy with armies to outmatch both major factions combined in sheer numbers?
Especially without NO ONE KNOWING!

When I levelled up my sith warrior (honestly the expansions are pretty naff but the base game, class specific stories were great) I went for the honourable warrior trope. She’d honour worthy opponents with clean deaths rather than do a bit of pre-kill torture, didn’t like sneak tactics, wanted to enforce the strength of the Sith directly. If you don’t overpower the enemy and prove your superior might then what’s the point?
I found that more fun than the sadist murderhobo options you get.

Honourable Warrior Trope
I also really liked how he looked/sounded with the rebreather on, even though he had no need for one.
So I indulged my nerd side and went "Yeah, it’s not a rebreather - it actually pumps him full of a mild toxin so he’s always mildly handicapped, so when he takes it off/it gets destroyed You Shouldn’t Have Did That…

She was more dark side than light in that morality system, but that’s because she was also ruthless.

If anything this also perfectly suits the Sith Warrior more than chaotic evil. Because a big part of that storyline is hammering in over your head that petty infighting and chaos is massively harming the sith and the empire. With upstart sith just fighting eachother more than the Republic.
People have forgotten the “old and true ways” so to speak in their minds.

“All right, Sith, against our better judgement we will help you. What dark and terrible deed will you force us to commit?”

Double-Oh-Imperial (Agent) was also a LOT of fun.

I enjoy the more theocratic/ideological sith more than the drunk-on-power sort. Vibes with me better.
Darth Bane over Darth Sidious, for example.

My first agent slept her way through the entire storyline literally.
Like I took every flirt option available and basically just played a female James Bond who banged her way to success.
My second Agent was an alien outcast who allied Darth Jadus for personal glory.
