RE: SW:TOR
It's just what it sounds like: An MMO that copies the main gameplay mechanics and systems from World of Warcraft.
In SW:G's case, the instant this happened was with the "New Game Experience" update that radically changed the way the game was played, among many other things the game was essentially changed from a freeform sandbox style game to the typical "Go to X, do Y, get Z" quest based affair. Then there was the whole merging of the mix and match skillset system into a bunch of cookie cutter professions. Not forgetting the whole hilarious "Everyone can be a Jedi now!" debacle that pissed off pretty much the entire player base.
As to what TOR will be like I have no idea, I haven't seen any gameplay videos yet, just that neat opening trailer they put out during E3.
Anyway, IMO the only MMO that is worth playing these days is Eve Online, though it's usually much more fun reading about Eve than it is to actually play it.
