Now that KotET is out and people who want to play have likely played it, the question arises about where the story can go from here?
Valkorion is dead for reals and hopefully never coming back, the PC is Heir to the Eternal Throne and in command of the Eternal Fleet, an unmatched military force as well as the Gravestone, the most powerful ship ever. Where can the story go now?
This thread will be about speculation on what the future of Swtor will be, should they decide to continue making content.
Here are a few idea's I've seen bandying around:
1. War with the Republic and Empire: Mentioned in the credits by Lana and Theron, tensions between the now 3 factions are running hot. It could be that we're forced to become the villain and defend our domination of the galaxy from the original 2 factions.
2. Malgus returns: An interesting concept. Malgus returning could shake up the dynamic of the Sith Empire and lead to a bloody civil war where the Outlander must intervene in. And the Republic is doubtful to be silent while this is happening.
3. Yuuzhan Vong: Lol, screw canon. Who cares about the old EU, just pull the trigger and fight the Vong a few thousand years early.
4. Boringly spinning our wheels grinding command points while waiting for them to pull the plug: An intriguing and innovative possibility.
5. Revan: Why.
Please share your thoughts. No trolling please.

Honestly, Beni's probably right. I don't see SWTOR lasting much longer, they've made the outlander too powerful for story to be interesting anymore.
Mechanics wise the game is dead, they haven't invested in a long term base at all, everything kinda just points to Bioware giving up. In all liklihood, New!Canon is prepping its own MMO, and won't want SWTOR eating up competition.

I think that's certainly a possibility but I was also under the impression that TOR was making Bioware bank these days. I'm not they'd want to get rid of a profitable resource until it actually starts getting unsustainable.

I doubt it's getting canceled since I heard it's going strong financially (I heard that, but not sure if true). Maybe they'll continue the Iokath storyline since that was left open.
Jadus only dies in 1 version out of 3. And Malgus was just thrown off a ledge and never found. He was shown in carbonite in one of the trailers in fact. Though I heard they'd double-backed on that and made it that you just kill him in the flashpoint.
