Star Wars - The Old Republic
polycounter
Anyone picking this up? Pre-ordered mine yesterday, looking forward to giving it a shot 
I'm hoping it'll be way better than Star Wars Galaxies, used to play it ages ago but wasn't too impressed.

we should start a list of people who will be playing the game so we can group together some time.
I am playing the beta so just pm me if you want to know my characters' name.
On Saturday, September 24th from 8:00PM until 12:00AM GMT, BioWare will be hosting a Community Meet and Greet at 'Gamerbase' London inside the Trocadero Centre. Those who attend will be able to meet other members of The Old Republic community, have a couple of drinks with the BioWare team, and take part in a developer Q&A session.
Actually wondering if we get a chance to 'play' the game and not just attend for Q&A
SWG was the shiznitz (right after Ultima Online), obviously before they raped it that is
maybe you prefer WoW leveling and no customization kinda gameplay rather?
I don't know..
SWG, you could just hang out in the cantina with dancers, buffing, dancing, getting buffed, making friends.. getting on your speeder, driving across the desert to your own player house with loot and other trophies..wait 'til sundown, head out for some hunting..maybe raid some rebel town...
ooooooor, WoW/SW TOR, click "get in line for dungeon" for the 500th time.. get a sip of coke... go back to healing with your generic character
yeah, SWG was shit:poly118:
But if we see to the character speccs makes me pretty interested in how every class is gonna feel. Everyone is dps, heal and tank from the looks of it but they work differently. Curious there.

Kinda close to a certain, fairly well known date in the calendar.
Surely that's gonna hurt first weeks figures? Seems like they just want to ship pre-2012, but I think they'd do well to just put it back a week or two.
EDIT: Actually, I guess it's not such a bad idea. People will be off work etc.
I was in the 3 day beta test which are pretty much server stress tests. There's another one thats going to happen soon so keep your fingers crossed
Don't forget pre-order customers get 'early access.' However early that may be I have no idea :poly122:
It's probably a strategic release date, for when people finally get off for the Holidays, and people are going home for Christmas (with their laptops).
having shipped an EA MMO I doubt there's that much cushion time
So many games, so little time!
The story conversations are a nice touch, in groups as well. Not sure what I'm allowed to talk about probably nothing.
But if you signed up for beta and havent gotten invite, be patient. IIRC they plan to invite more people each beta weekend. Unfortunately there has only been the one weekend so far, but fingers crossed for this weekend!
One thing I love is the environments, especially Korriban that was cool
I'm on EU Nightmare Lands.
Got a 32 Operative named Humor .
I find the game to be a lot of fun. Great story too. Highly recommend.
it's the first game that's made me actually want to do some pve, so i guess that's a plus? the pvp is pretty shocking at the moment though, my guild are trying to convince ourselves not to go back to WAR.
If any pc'ers are on this server aswell give me a /w. (Character name is also Kurry)
