*Checks email* Dude I'm so jelly. Maybe wake up early and go hang out in Starbucks all day so you can use their internet to download the game? Perhaps your mi-fi card will be enough for you to play it once it's downloaded.
I am just going to go over to a friends house, would be kinda hard to take my 70lb rig to starbucks
im disappointed you'll be stuck with the same boring lightsabre for 10 years that you play
no moving up from a dagger to a rapier to a bastard sword to an enchanted two-handed 6-foot devastator
lightsabres are cool and all but i would prefer starting with a tiny one and progressing to maniac one. and having lightsabre battle axes and halberds, and a huge lightsabre shield for my tanking knight. it IS the old republic so who knows what crazy stuff they used back then
Hey I don't know if this is the proper place to post this or not, but I would really like to have fellow SC fans in a guild. My family and friends have started a guild. We will be playing on the dark side. The guild name is "Han's Cholos" Search Cholos if looking! We will most likely be playing on the u.s east servers on a PvE realm. We will hopefully raid at 50 and will have vent (and of course some light role playing ).
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. I don't want to seem like a spammer. Just would really like some fellow Liquidiers to join in this new mmo experience!

We know exactly what kind of crazy stuff they used back then. There are tons of canon sources covering the eras before and after this. The only major changes to lightsaber technology in the 25,000 years before Episode IV was the removal of the need for battery packs (worn on the belt, with a power cord going from the pack to the hilt).
The only variation on 'light weapons' was a stupid 'lightwhip' that a Sith woman used, and that was a ridiculously stupid idea (and I'm glad her character was finally killed). Light doesn't work that way... it doesn't even work in the way lightsabers do, but that's far easier to 'believe' in the context than light bending into shapes as if a Green Lantern were manipulating it.

Sorry dude, but that's exactly what it is, down to every little detail and they're not even pretending that it isn't

I'm a huge SWG fan and played so much back in the day
I was so excited for TOR but after getting into the beta, if you had any fun with SWG, sorry, but this game isn't even close.
It's a wow clone almost button for button.
Obviously the combat has some glaring differences, but the fact is it will be fun to do a play through of a class or two, but won't hold interest passed a month or two.

With better questiong from what I understand.
PS: I doubt they will ever make something like SWG, considering how it um, died.
Honestly, the cinematic effects make this game look amazing, but the game play is lacking when comparing graphics with that of the original KOTOR. But when just comparing sole gameplay, it looks pretty darn sick.
Bioware is doing a great job. They are doing awesome updates with the game and beta. I really think they are going to release an amazing game. Do people forget about the fully voiced part... That is what they are trying to implement. It is awesome. It will be a different mmo with some wow aspects. That isn't a bad thing considering the success of WOW.
From Totalbiscuit with one of the developers (I believe) playing through the sith warrior opening story. it is quiet a good video to see if you enjoy it. This personally completely sold me on this.

They killed it by trying to make it into WoW. They implemented a "combat upgrade" that made the combat less like a Jet Li movie and more like WoW's hit-and-wait style. In the following 2 months, they lost over 60% of their subscribers.
I don't think it's too optimistic to think they'd learn from their mistakes.
So we should start a Teamliquid guild. Get everyones opinion on whether we should go with the Empire or Republic and be based on PvP or Pve based server.
