    We're getting a patch tomorrow. You can compare the version number displayed to see which version is on live versus test.

    It's "Star Wars". That label generates a certain amount of business no matter how lame the product is especially when there isn't an alternative Star Wars title to draw a player.

    The only thing that can really kill it is the Lucas' license fees get larger than the profits.

    SWG is closing 12 of their servers and has told the players on those servers they have until October 15, 2009 to move their characters or:

    "Beginning October 16th, 2009 at 12:01 AM PT you will be able to contact Customer Support and for the standard Character Transfer fee of $50.00 you will be able to schedule a transfer for your character, eligible structures and inventory."


    So I think we got a pretty good deal. It's not cheap, but it isn't outrageous compared to others.
    I felt like I saw doublespeak on the SWG server closure.

    Due to the overwhelming success of the recent Free Character Transfer Service, we want to inform you that on October 15, 2009, at 5:00 PM PT, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will close the following 12 Star Wars Galaxies servers:
    I imagine The Old Republic will force them to close 6 or 7 of the remaining 13 then too.

    You already used the free one from 2 weeks ago?

    Within a couple of mins, that was upto a team of 4, then for most of the night it was a team of 8.

    We were 24 to start, and got through to 26. On the team were a couple of folks in the low 30s, some in the 20s and a couple of lowbies with jetpacks.

    Now the latter would happily have been sidekicked before, but the keeping powers when -5 levels and XP when exemping meant the 30s folks were more than happy to tag along.

    I simply cannot praise the whole SSK package enough for making it easy to build and maintain teams. It has been a paradigm shift, that will take some time, beofre it is fully appreciated.
    This x big number

    I used to exemp just to play with some people in the past but now there is almost no downside for me (unless I exemp way down). I had always preferred exemplaring to SKing to avoid the leash length and now we don't have that pain either.

    I16 was a huge sack of win in many ways.

    Thanks to all you number crunchers and the devs for not giving up on it.

    Yet every thread asking to merge the servers is because the person posting wants more people on their server. It is never a business driven post by the company.

    People on the low pop servers will not happily join the large pop servers if it occurs. Some will quit. And it is a signal that a game is dying so it will deter some people from trying or buying the game which is another cost.

    It isn't the rainbows and ponies the pro-merger people think it will be.

    There wouldn't be 6 threads on the forums if 'necessary' was required.

    I get emails that tell me how to take a pill to increase... Oh wait, never mind. That's not intelligence.
  14. BTW, I hate all of you who have spouses or significant others (use whatever terms you like) who will game with you.

    I even hate those of you who don't get nagged for playing.

    (Not bad hate, just bitter envy.)

  15. Congratulations.

    You sir win.

    You can minimize it (advice to those who may want to).

    Mostly the neg reppers hurt my brain since all too often I have no idea what they are talking about.
  18. Hilarious!

    Do a Calvin and Hobbes next, please.
  19. Doomguide is correct.

    The beauty of Ouroboros and TF/SF is everyone who is on the team gets the merits at the end as long as they are in the final mission long enough to qualify for the award versus story arcs which only provide merits to the arc holder.

    In most MMOs you will never get the leet gear unless you grind, grind, grind with one character so alts slow you down.

    But it wasn't too low in the circles so it wasn't viewed as that bad or as prevalent apparently.

    Log in bug

    I try again.

    Sometimes it can happen a couple times in a row.

    If it continues to happen you should check your firewall settings.

    Missing does not mean skipping. For example my lowbie heroes always miss the other 4 origin contacts' missions at levels 1-5 but I am not skipping it. My villains always take Kalinda so I always miss Burke but I am not skipping him.

    That was because they had to. But now you can get xp when exemplared so as long as there is some new character to be the leader at the lower level people won't have to.

    I think someone should level up to 50 in the sewers to see how fast it can be done.

    Don't look at me, I have never done the sewers and would die of boredom before I got to 50.
