We both have the same dates for pre-order and early game access. It looks like people who pre-ordered early have November 2nd as early game access.

Stephen Reid said on twitter that the Nov 2nd date was an internal date that everyone was allowed to start patching and doesn't effect when you get early access.

That server listing is wrong btw. The Shadowlands which im on is PVE.

That is why it was note that the list may not be complete, heck the GAF Republic PVE server isn't on the list. Just posting the info as it is getting out will correct it when i can

That server is pretty much guaranteed to be overrun with Empire with that name.

I figure most servers will be overrun by empire. Every beta forum and general forum survey pointed to the fact that republic will be a minority in this game. :(

It just goes to show that you need to balance not only the classes between the sides but also the "fun" and "story", especially in a story driven game like this. Empire is just more fun to play.
 
BioWare forgot about the part of the country between the coasts. Curious as their headquarters happen to be in that crazy nether region that doesn't seem to exist in TOR.



Yeah, with Austin being in CST, and BioWare HQ in Edmonton being MST, its a little weird there isnt at least some CST or MST servers.

latest stats release by the TOR team indicated it's gonna be fairly balanced like 53% empire 47% Republic, not that much of an imbalance.

For the most part it's not going to matter for much though the way the game is designed and instancing.

It was a major problem for a game like Warhammer.

Neogaf and Neogaf Empire on the same european pvp server.

We are? Where did you find out that? (Good the system worked and matched us)

And when were we supposed to get emails telling when our early access is? Tomorrow, 13th?
I really hope i get in tomorrow, pre-ordered so early (IIRC the day after pre-orders went online) i should.
And i got a billion things i should do this week...

You should be able to see the server you got on your guild page if it loads.

Im fairly certain that the Horde led most polls before WoW was released, and then BAM fuck loads of Alliance everywhere.


I think this will be the same, the more hardcore MMO players (ie the ones that would actually be filling out polls) are for the most part, pretty balanced, but when you add in joe shmoe who just likes star wars, then the republic will get a fairly reasonable bump, as most regular people want to be the 'good guys'.

Lol, WOW with Lightsabers, would piss people off so much.
The main reason I like it is because everyone who hasn't played the game thinks this, everyone who hates the game for any reason says this, everyone who hasn't read the thread doesn't know it's sarcastic, and then we get to laugh at the people who will come in and rage at the title.

It covers so much ground with only 3 words.
