My girlfriend got a beta invite for the weekend just gone, we're really enjoying it so far. We've got a Sith Inquisitor to level 10, a Bounty Hunter to about 8 and an Imperial Agent to 10 - just chosen Sniper. I also got a beta invite I think for this coming weekend so we'll be able to play together which will be good fun.
I wish it was that simple, i really do.Quote:

(hope that makes sense).
luckly i know the guys at EA and they are sorting for me, but still a bit silly if you ask me.
Afraid i can't really get my head around that, but as long as it's being sorted!Quote:

I will try and simplify it ::Quote:

this is when it tries and gets you to create a new account using the xxx@gmail.com
when infact my origin account with all my games on is xxx@ntlworld.com
so if i wanted to play swtor when its released i would have to logout of my xxx@ntlworld.com address and login as the xxx@gmail.com
hardly the end of the world i know, but i want to keep all my games in one account.
just wanted to let people know this if they are thinking of pre-ordering.
Does that make more sense ?
That does make more sense!
Although, this may be a silly question, but could you create a new SWTOR account with the @ntlworld email?
Also, i remember reading a while back about someone in a similar situation... the devs had some sort of response in that it'd work out, but not i can't remember exactly what they said and it's too long ago to feasibly search for.
I have tried to create one with the @ntworld.com address but it wont let me ...Quote:

So feel free to ask questions!
Although there are apparently some limitations (for some reason):
- I can't talk about stuff going on in the Tester Forums (as if you'd ask that).
- Since it's supposedly only for last weekend's testing, general questions are probably the best.
I have read that this is just WoW with a starwars skin. What are you its thinking about It?
In all honesty Jay, what MMO since WoW hasn't been called "WoW with a skin"?
Well.Quote:

Is it WoW with a Star Wars skin? Yeah, i guess that's one way to put it. My personal description is WoW+KoTOR (but not the other way around).
Another issue is that WoW has had numerous re-iterations and has been fairly polished up compared to the initial product (read that as, WoW has certain features that SWTOR does not have yet).
Ultimately i think questing is much more satisfying in SWTOR, the Mass Effect style conversation wheel gives it more depth and makes it feel more like a Single Player game. Also there's usually more than one way to complete a quest due to the Lightside/Darkside choice options. Sure, it all boils down to "Complete Quest -> Get Reward/XP -> Level Up", but the way it goes about it is much better than any MMO out there imo (that i've played, of course - i.e. WoW, Aion, CoH, Eve, a tiny sliver of GW).
There are obviously issues at the moment, my personal one is with progression. Levelling is rather slow (at least, it feels slow) and Classes don't really come into their own until Level 20+ (i.e. not when you choose your Advanced Class - Level 10). It's nice that your Class keeps "evolving"/growing over the course of levelling, but at the same time it can often make you feel lacking in terms of ability.
Let's just say, it's not anything like Eve Online :p.
Do you think that this would work for those with limited time to play?
Hope its not as restrictive like Vanilla WoW was for those that just could not put 20hours+ in per week.
Definitely, it's more like a massive, multi concurrent single player game.Quote:

Could you elaborate on that?Quote:

I mean apart from the "might not make the most out of the monthly sub" issues.
He's referring to vanilla WoW where you had to raid for 4+ hours a night every day of the week to be able to progress, or even join a decent raiding guild. Nowadays, anyone can raid without too much of a struggle.
Progress how so?Quote:
