What's the ETA on this game?
I'm not much of an MMORPG guy, but it's one I've been keeping my eye on. I'll definitely play it, even if it's for a short period - so would definitely be keen in guilding it up with some of the GU crew.

How many parsecs does it take you guys to do the Kessel run?
Post 8
A parsec is actually a unit of distance not time.

TOR has now opened something called the "Alignment Phase" which seems to be intended to help guilds that want to play together maximise their chances of being seeded on the same servers: Guild FAQs | Star Wars: The Old Republic
Each Guild can nominate up to 3 other guilds to be their allies or adversaries depending on your relative factions.
FWIW I've made the two guilds previously mentioned in this thread - Intergalactic Planetary and Kessel Runners - my ally and adversary respectively.
Your play type has to be the same for it to count which would mean Lothar would need to switch from PvE to PvP but if you don't want to do that it's no biggie.
If either of you guys want to reciprocate my guild is Budju Smugglers

Well shtieeezzz balls got the call up to play the beta from over Friday, 10/14 at 9:00AM EDT Sydney (Thursday, 10/13 at 5:00PM CDT Austin) and ends on Tuesday, 10/18 at 11:59PM EDT Sydney (Tuesday, 10/18 at 7:59AM CDT Austin).
*foam at mouth* ... will post some something when i can and give my slobber keyboard tapping words later after i come out of a coma.
sign up too my guild :D Kessel Runners
Post 15
yea got the beta invite too, will probly give it a shot on the weekend, atm too busy playing a certain gotham billionaire
Post 16
iee The Beta ends tonite.. so far my Starwars itch has been well scratched. If you like MMOG you 'll like this, If you like taking noobs down with light sabers, blasters and massive cannons starwars style this is for you. Trading is the same as per Galaxy Market place and Crafting is done by compainion and gather is both done by them and you. PVP is good fun, Hut Ball is crazy and ppl are not really trying to play the game and just kill each other its funny too watch. Class story are pretty cool with the light/dark side options to aquire new titles/gear/quests and missions ending. Makes doing the same class again interesting to see again. Love rolling a top score to do something dark in a group quest convo while every1 else rolls light makes the whole grp watch the results. They still get what ever points they choose anyway so its not the end of the world... or is it :D
It is still in beta so glitches and funny shit happens and upping off a brigde in Coruscant down into traffic (ie like one of the movie) doesnt let u free fall and catch a speeder as i died a simple death. opps.. Skipping the talking sometimes make funny things happen in he backround. No really complaints thou. Both my room mates have played it, they were a bit scepitcal and are now like... damn.. gonna have to get it as they enjoyed it. Could be a title to test WoW will see... will see..

I would not worry about it to much mate i was playing beta over both weekends and the ping hovers around 250 - 350ms for an MMORPG nothing to worry about. Played World of warcraft with 300ms since beta.

At the moment Im messing around with characters on Krath - but that wont be my final home (odds on).
Post 35

Post 36
Unofficial aussie servers are doomed to have problems. Just look at Blackrock :/

Quote from Bioware:
...we wanted to notify everyone of some consistently high population servers. These servers are closing in on their absolute population cap (the maximum amount of players who can be on the server at any given time) and will likely have a queue to enter even at off-peak play times. We strongly advise you to not create new characters on these servers, unless you are prepared to queue to play.
US-based servers
The Harbinger – US West Coast - PvE
The Swiftsure – US West Coast - PvP

The Old Republic Asia Pacific Launch
BioWare and LucasArts are excited to announce that Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will officially launch in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore on March 1st, 2012! Fans in these regions who purchase the game will be able to experience their very own Star Wars™ saga on regional servers. Players who have already begun their journey will also have a limited-time opportunity to migrate their characters from their current servers to Asia Pacific servers after the launch on March 1st, giving them the chance to take advantage of the decreased network latency by playing on a regional server. All players who qualify for a character transfer will be notified in early March with more details.
In the press release announcing the Asia Pacific launch date, General Manager of the BioWare Label’s MMO Business Unit and Co-Founder of BioWare Dr. Greg Zeschuk expressed appreciation for the patience of fans in the region:
Our biggest priority for The Old Republic has always been to deliver a high quality product and high quality service and we are pleased with our results in North America and Europe. We appreciate that our fans in these countries have been patient and we are excited to deliver this same great customer experience to players this March
Post 64
don't imagine the latency will change all that much, im on 300 ping atm and since they aren't placing servers physically in Australia, we will still be connecting to the US regardless.

You should theoretically get a better ping to the new Oceanic servers; as they are physically closer (if you re-roll on them, of course).
Post 66
sweet, i'm on three different servers atm so i'll finally be able to migrate them all into one :)
Post 67
I stand corrected by biowares Grant McDaniel.
“We are locating servers in Australia to allow Australian, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore customers to take advantage of decreased network latency and improved performance,” said Grant. “EA has local teams to provide support. And BioWare is 100% dedicated to ensuring that our service maintains a high level of quality.”
Thats amazing news :D first big developer of a good MMO to do so if im not mistaken?

Heads up, the Australian servers went live 9pm last night, emails will be sent to anyone who registered there account as Australian by end of march for free transfers.
Transfers will not occur till end of April, but i'll be creating a new toon on it tonight to test the waters, so far my ping has gone from 300 average to 60, so already loving that for PVP.
make sure you join Master Dar'Nala server, its a PVP server but trust me there will be fuck all gankage, i leveled my main to 50 and only ran into 1 jedi scum while leveling, we had a duel then went our own ways.
I know a lot of you have stopped playing and some due to others no longer playing, but there is a few darwin guys that i currently play with on the Swiftsure that will be coming across and if we can consolidate everyone that does play one a single Aussie server it will be better.
I have both Jedi Scum toons and Sith toons so will be playing both sides as well.
Post 78
Created a toon last night. It is awesome to see 50ms Latency :D
Post 79
im a bit disappointed i cant move my character now, and dont really feel like starting over again.
but when i do move i'll still be on a PVE server not PVP.
I doubt most of us will be on the existing servers though anyway chances are they will create another server for migration to handle the load so bear that in mind when creating new characters on the new aussie servers already in place you may not be able to move them.
Post 80
yer i have started a Smuggler on the PvP server Master Dar'Nala, and have to wait to get my 50 across.. but i have some friends that i know playing from scratch just to see what the pvp is like. All good so far just have to get a list of all your toons so i can add ya or line you up for ganks :D
ewoo update got my transfer email today.. :D

Post 81
i got an email today, but all it was telling me about the aussie servers
Post 82
the email i got yesterday is "you have been pre approved for a one time free character transfer starting end of April"..
I just created a new toon on the Aussie PVP server, Repub trooper named "manhunter".
I figure since the majority of my primary toons on other servers above 30+ are all imps better i start a new toon as repub until transfers.

Any body gonna play this once it goes free to play?

Their f2p model is shit.
Post 89
I would've said they could learn something from STO's f2p model - but STO has gone and fucked EVERYTHING now. goddamned mindas.
Post 90
Numbers start to dwindle and their income is affected, so they move to a f2p model that won't attract players. GG.
They need to use NA's Aion f2p model.
Post 91
I see there is a new expansion coming out soon, can i get everyone's usernames or can they add me "mepm" on "dalborra".
what ever happened to gu guild?
Post 92
I left my subscription turn over to F2P and so i cant make any more toons as i have so many.. i'll have to delete or subscribe again.. maybe when the new cap is increased.. for know i've just been playing GW2.
Post 93
Soo they merged a few servers now
Dalborra --> The Harbinger
Master Dar'Nala --> The Bastion
Gav Darago --> Bergeren Colony
If you didn't use the free character server switch (like me) that's whats happened :|
Post 94
yea no local servers anymore which completely sucks, and now everyone is crammed into these instanced super servers. apparently it provides us with a better "experience". BS.
Post 95
So had a few dog fights and the controls are very similar to 'Star Conflict' the F2P game off steam. The pvp mode has different load outs and tweeks here and there but when waiting for the match to start you can run around doing other jazz to pass the time in the Normal game of SW:Tor. Im sure they will add more modes and way to kill each other like the other PvP matches on offer. I defiantly recommend do in the tutorial in flying (which i should finish one of these days :P ) as I just found out how to put full power to the guns or shield for those sticky dog fights blasting suckers out of the sky.
