Some MMO game worlds were meant to be explored. The first two that immediately came to mind were Lord of the Rings Online and Age of Conan. I definitely want to take my time with SWTOR and see everything there is to see...besides, if BioWare does come through with a after-launch patch that will allow SGRA's (Same-Gender Romance Arcs), leveling your alt too quickly may not be a good thing, yes?

It's great to know there are others out there who are excited about the story and exploring the game world. Reading the SWTOR forums, it's easy to feel lost among the speed demons and min/maxers. I look forward to catching up with y'all in game.

I remember, having completed both KOTOR games twice, I went back to try and play the nasty Dark Sider and just couldn't do it. There was some really just petty, mean things you could do (like stealing a trophy from a widow, the only means she had of getting enough money to get out of her dire straits).

Is there something wrong with me that my solution would be to kill the widow? :blush:

No. None what so ever. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put as much distance between us before you pick up on the underlying sarcasm.

didn't that guy totally violate the NDA?

Based on the number of leaked videos: he and most people in the beta. Apparently a lot of people in the beta don't care if they get thrown out. It's their own fault, they should have invited me for the beta in stead of these guys.

lol. well played.

but it's more cruel to let her live in her dire straits (after you steal her trophy).

I guess you could also find any grandchildren, rape her in front of them, then kill them in front of her, THEN leave her to her dire straits.

But me, I'd just help her out of her dire straits. sigh.

That said, I've been playing the Sith side specifically because I don't want any story spoilers when I make my first toon, a Republic Trooper.

That said, I will undoubtedly create a dark side character eventually (the Agent and Bounty Hunter interest me, and I have to admit to a certain level of interest in the Inquisitor story line I've seen so far in beta).

Like others have said, I expect there to be a heavy imbalance for pre-registration, specifically because you can only pre-guild one character.

Once the game is live and all 4 guilds are set up, I'm sure you'll see a better balance of Republic vs. Empire, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of crossover on the US vs. EU as people start creating additional alts and are more willing to put up with some lag to spend some "face time" with their friends across the pond.

Aw, thanks you guys! You're way too kind. I had so much fun in this costume. Definitely my best Halloween since I was Sarah Palin back in '08. :D

Episode 429 - Deep Space Nine - "His Way" - 04/22/1998

Bashir shows off a new Holosuite program of a martini lounge with the 1960s Vegas singer named Vic Fontaine who is very perceptive; and gives advice to Odo when Kira visits her ex-lover Shakaar.

Enjoy!

Wow! Very cool. Love that we can go in at lvl 10 and not have to wait.

Heh that's the first time I've seen anything to do with the Voidstar pvp. Looked pretty sweet.

As we are approaching release date, I'm starting to see interesting gameplay videos out there.

Here is 12.5 minutes of Voidstar PvP

I think if you understand everything that went on in warcraft 3 plotwise, a very strong argument can be made that the Alliance is the evil side in WOW.

I certainly felt that way when I was in the Horde. I loved my Orc Huntress Frykh and had more fun with her than I did with my NE Druid, Sylvenger (kept his name though, always liked how I came by the name, sylvan avenger).

During my beta weekend a few weeks back, I was playing a light side Sith Warrior and having a great time at it, so it is possible to be 'good' and be a Sith.

Count me in too! I never really had a chance to raid in WoW as I never found a guild who I fit in with. So now that I have had a chance to get to know a few of you all I am sure that that experience will be extremely enjoyable and worthwhile.

My Jedi Sentinal fights for the glory that is KOS!

The game is great so far. I love the storylines. Only found one Holocron so far, and they better not move it come launch!

In most games I play I always go good before I go bad. The one exception being WoW in which I started Horde then went Alliance later. Although, it can be argued that good and bad is all a matter of which side you're on. ;)
