And I found out that from pre-ordering we get to play 5 days early, so December 15th. NICE.
Who's with me?

Nice man!0

oh wow really? we were just discussing pre-ordering. We have the week between xmas and new years off so might as well!0

I'll be playing. We had talked about you joining my merry group of jamooks on whatever server we decide to go on. If you're interested send me a pm, we can coordinate.0

My preorder for the CE has been in since day one, so I will be there for sure!
I'm running a Republic - PVP - US East guild with a few friends. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can send you the details.0 -
I'm definitely thinking of pre-ordering and would probably be interested in an MFP guild if we put one together
Edit: I can picture it... we wipe on a raid, and someone asks for a quick bio break. The leader says, "ok, jumping jacks for everyone while we wait! Be sure to log it!" :laugh:0 -

You miss the part where the raid leader screams at people for screwing up. I don't think its a raid unless there's yelling.
I don't know if we'll end up raiding in TOR - we already have wow raids 2x a week and that might be my limit. Then again unless dragonsoul heroics are way harder than the normal modes its going to be like 2 hours 1x a week.
I actually have had days where I seriously do jump up and do pushups or burpees or squats in between wipes - Maybe I should start doing that again. I used to do it if I didn't think I'd gotten enough of a workout in pre-raid but the extra activity wouldn't hurt me.0 -

:laugh: Thankfully I've never had too much yelling during raids, and I think my new kin (guild) is fairly laid-back with their raiding. My old one merged into them, minus the leader (the main reason I quit was because he was blaming me for wipes when it wasn't my fault - made things not fun anymore).
But, I have to get to 75 now that they raised the cap by 10 since I last played. Ugh, I feel so little again!
As for SWTOR, not sure how that'll work for me. I suppose it'll all depend on if I'm still playing LOTRO, and my work schedule...0 -
Yup I pre-ordered! My buddy works at Bioware, so I have actually been part of the SWTOR closed beta since about February. It has been cool to seen it evolve across various builds since then and I can't wait to get the release version!! 0

Quick question for you since NDA is lifted. I was in beta as well but not for a long time so didn't get far.
Is SWTOR an open world MMO? Not like a "sandbox" type, but I mean can we go anywhere we want to? Or are some of the worlds linear? I heard Coruscant was linear as hell.

I didn't really play too much beyond Coruscant (I didn't want to spoil any more of the storyline), but from what I hear from everyone is that Taris starts to open up a lot more and after that the worlds (like Hoth and Tatooine for example) are huge. So while it's definitely not a sandbox, the maps are a lot bigger after the first 2 intro worlds.
There was a good image of the scale of Korriban compared to Hoth I saw a while ago. Can't seem to find it right now, but Hoth was much larger.0 -

Good to know bro.0 -
Played the beta! Awesome.. I mean... I can't tell you HOW awesome it is. Unfortunately, though my computer played it in the beta it's just not good enough to warrant buying the game because I don't meet the specs. :-( Christmas List Started!0

For the most part it is open world. Some places like Coruscant are more limited, but not really linear..they did a pretty good job considering Coruscant is supposed to be a huge planet-city. That just wouldn't be feasible to have as an totally open world.0 -
If you preordered when it was first available, you get 5 days. The 5 day codes are all gone. If you order this month, I believe it will be 1 day...
I'm looking forward to it, the game is very linear and won't feed my gaming ADD so it should be a good game for me. From what I saw in beta, planets are more like 'levels' and you keep moving to the next... Which is not dissimilar from other themepark MMOs.
Probably sith/inq on a PVP server...0 -
Totally getting it. Not the collector's edition, but getting the game for sure. My friend got in the stress test this last weekend, so he let me make a toon and run around.

How do I know if my code got me in 5 days early?0 -
Unfortunately no one really knows for sure yet. Hopefully they will e-mail this info out soon so I know if I need to take off work on that Friday. I'm pretty sure I will be in on day one since I pre-ordered on day one, but who knows!0

Pre-ordered here and was able to play the open beta weekend last weekend and really enjoyed it. The story line is very immersive. I played republic since I know I'm going empire at release and didn't want to spoil anything. Very good so far.0

The MMO right?
My brother played the beta and cancelled his pre-order.
Hes a HUGE gamer and plays EVERYTHING...so I was shocked when he cancelled.0 -
Yeah, I signed up with my best bud (who is a huge SW freak.) Finally got things squared away on my account (oh EA/Origin, how I loathe thee!) There's a rumor going on now it may be as soon as December 13, so I really need to download the client tonight. Good gravy...20-someodd Gig! Yowza! :grumble:0

I hear that a lot. It's really pretty bland at low levels. I never got past 15 in the beta... I probably would have cancelled if I didnt have a bunch of friends playing it.0 -
