Star Wars: The Old Republic
Early access starts Tuesday and release is December 20. Who is going to be selling their soul to this MMO? I have information about a Sith guild that'll be starting right at the beginning for anyone who might be interested.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
I wish I was....
The beta ran ok on my computer, but on all the base settings (something I've been used to my whole life with pc games). But it just wasn't quite running well enough. I might dive into this one over the summer, once I've upgraded my graphics card.

Gotta be Jedi... Sorry.
Seriously, I can understand playing Horde.. a bunch of misunderstood misfits... but fight for THE EMPIRE? That's just wrong. They're not very nice people.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
I want to play the Sith, but my douchy friends started a republic guild. I just bought the game like literally 5 minutes ago. I know i'll have an early access key by tomorrow. I've heard of people getting theirs now as early as 3 hours after purchasing. I will unfortunately have to either use my wife's computer until sometime into probably late Jan maybe even late Feb to play. My video card decided to die. XFX may replace it. That would be awesome. I'm running a 5 year old card now thats good enough for indie games, but I'll at least be without a good card for a minimum of 3 weeks.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Exactly, Slyder! Not very nice people at all. Though you can still choose to go light side and betray your superiors if you really wanted to. There are light sides and dark sides on both factions, so it's all a matter of personal preference. But it's so fun to finally be able to channel all of the negative emotions bottled up inside into something that will not effect another living being in any way. What a release lol! Besides, it's just passion, right?
Dyl, I will say that the final product is running twice as well as the beta did for me. Also, my fiance learned about a little trick where you turn your graphics all the way up, let it load, and then turn them all the way back down and let it load again. For some reason this makes the game run a lot smoother. But still, I can understand that it's a lot of money to pay for something you're not even sure is going to run right.
We just got our guild set up a few hours ago and we have 9 people so far (all people we know irl or online from other places), so if anyone is going to try empire in the future, we're on Ajunta Pall. Carbon Scored Corpses is the name. We're pretty casual and just leveling right now, so we're not asking for any specific level of commitment. PM me or post your character names here if you're ever interested and I'll send you an invite in game.

Started my smuggler today. I skipped almost every cutscene trying to catch back up to where I was during beta. I'm getting somewhat close to leaving my starting planet

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
I bought a cheap graphics card and now it runs great! (I was running off an integrated chipset piece of trash before).

Turn off shadows. You'll get at least twice as much FPS.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Oh I've got everything stripped down to the bare minimum, but it's running perfectly with a great fps. I probably overdid it a bit, but it's all good.
I slipped back into EVE Online now though, and, well... Yeah.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
You get better FPS with everything on high with shadows off, than everything on low with shadows on.
I use to play eve online. I get the itch to play again, but then i realize i'd be forfeiting my life. Still, If i ever want to go back, 75M SP character.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
I didn't want to get it for a long time, but I surrendered and got the game, and loving it. I tried to play the dark side, but I'm no good at that lol. It's not natural. So I play Jedi
There is no rule that says I can't post as much I want. I asked my lawyer.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Somebody was supposed to write a review about it but couldn't get a code to work, even though it got resent to them like twice. So in the end the deadline came and all they could write was they weren't able to get in, so they can't form an opinion.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
It took me some effort to get the game to work. And lots of patience seeing it took hours to download.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Not too similiar to WoW at all really other than the generic RPG elements
