Got my invite too .... Shoulda checked on here to see what the skinny on all this was, since I didn't know we had a beta guild. I have two characters right now on Leviathan. Siorae (Jedi Sentinel) on Republic side and Desiderus (Sith Marauder) on Imp side. Really liking Imp story line, btw. Totally evil and wicked and all that. I'll check back later today and see if anyone who can invite to the beta guilds is on.

Episode 453 - Deep Space Nine - "Till Death Do Us Part" - 04/14/1999

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=3718

Captured by the Breen, Ezri and Worf undergo mental torture. Sisko agonizes over his broken engagement. Disguised as a Bajoran, Dukat begins to work on converting Kai Winn to worship the evil Pah-Wraiths.

Enjoy!

I have a buddy who's an EVE-o-phille so he should know about it. I will post here as soon as I hear back or have him post here himself.

I have a Naga but i just cant get into the habit of using the side keys.

it took some getting used to but now i cant imagine playing an mmo without one. its so nice having 36 hotkeys right at my thumb.

I must admit, 12 buttons on the side of my mouse seems intimidating. Did you get used to it fairly easily? I am imagining I will hit all the wrong keys all the time. I am looking to buy one, but was leaning toward a mouse with less buttons.

I chatted extensively with an opposite faction player while riding the balloon to get to the Datacrons.

interesting. and in contradiction to the OP's statement. Riding balloons sounds fun though. Where do they have balloons?

It doesn't actually contradict what was said. Custom chat channels don't allow cross-faction conversations, but /say works fine across factions for folks who are nearby. I suppose the entire issue would be moot if we all kept our characters in the same place. :)

Ah, gotcha. :)
I was confused I guess because, technically, he said:

To make a long story short, even Custom chat channels will not allow cross faction chatting.

and I interpreted "even" blah blah as implying that no chat channel would allow cross faction. My bad.

In any case, I hope they make it to ya all's liking. :)
maybe it'll even become relevant to me if I end up pvp-ing. Though it seems unlikely it will be any more than the occassional diversion for me that it was in other games...

Once you get to $199 for a keyboard, will that $51 extra really matter? :P

I got my invite. But dont be stupid like me and log out for dinner. Huge queue tonight and very slow going. I am on the the leviathan sever name Kumari whisper if you wanna say hi.

omg 250 for the keyboard , what happened to 199 :huh:

Well thats no good. I love the space combat aspect, but have grown to love being in a fleet of my fellow 'mo's.

Cheers!

i never understand why they let individuals have characters of both factions on the same server.

Because it's just a game.

lol. well why not have cross faction chat then? Seems inconsistent. You'd think either the 2 factions are as separate as can be or not.

I rarely if ever even pvp, so please don't confuse me with someone who has a stake in this. I'm just trying to understand.

Oh well... can't get in. :( Have fun folks and I'll see ya at Early Access!

I can play beta even though I wasn't invited! Just for kicks I upated last weekends beta download, and it allowed me in! Still have my toons and everything on the Leviathan!

See I told you, all you have to do is keep your fingers, eyes and toes crossed and try logging in :) Grats Zed, see you online this weekend.

clearly they didn't because I was able to "Liberate" them so easily...

Damn I've been putting in too much time on my Sith Inquisitor on the beta... I must start to remember that I'll be playing a Jedi Consular!

Quote by DakonKor

I believe my husband only charges $.99 per minute. ;)

Wow.... I'm heartbroken that my own husband thinks I'm so cheap... I charge the standard $5.99/ per minute just for the basic webcam chat, (I am running a business after all trying to make money) and the price goes up as clothes come off.. :evil:

Seriously though, I agree that this is an outdated concept that is being dropped by other games but I am with Van on the fact that at it's very core, while we may all be stonewallers the two factions are at war. As for not passing along faction secrets I reserve the right to sell all of my secrets to the highest bidder.

Starting bid is half a million credits! Let all the Republic's Secrets be yours only Half a Million credits! The price can go higher if there is a bidding war!

Jinx is dead and Mrs. Frederic is a mummy.

But, Arty has the watch....

Dammit, if Jinx doesn't somehow come back, I'll be so mad. :angry:

Wait... Who is the Warehouse um... Watcher? Matron? I really can't see anyone else doing that job, not Arty not.... Ok maybe Mulgrew, but she's got other responsibilities.
