Yea PVP is more team oriented combat like WAR, though not to the same extent.

Is there any chance of the GAF Empire switching to prefer a PVP server?

We talked about it between both guilds but most of the group wanted to stick with PvE.JonnyKtyler said:
Czar and myself were going to wait till closer to launch to finalize it but I think most people wanted just a fun and casual experience and PVE = less headaches.
Also on the discussion of GAF guilds dying..while it is true a lot do end up dying fairly quickly, some end up with a small tight group. Look at the GAF WoW guild that just started up. Lots of cool people in there and they help each other constantly. Im confident both sides will have the very active people along with people who end up leaving after the first month. We'll see how it goes though.

I'm starting to rethink if I should get the game. 
I played on one of the weekend betas and loved it but I have such a fucking huge backlog all the way back to last gen (I own all 3 consoles of last and current gen plus portables) and MMOs just suck too much time. I really don't know what to do...
In the immediate future I have skyrim, and bf3 purchases and the new LOTR to play with my gf since we just finished castle crashers. I've also been playing tons of WoW and even though I'm only interested in PvP (which sucks less time than PvE) it still sucks a lot of my free time... Sigh if days only had 48hrs...

I've got a solution to your *problem*... boot WoW from the schedule.
Done.
Duh, 3 people have set applications (i accepted you jeroc) but i do not know if they're GAFers. Probably are... please, try to remember PM me or post here so that i know who you're.
EDIT SWTOR site names are LordPhol, OrgunUK and haradakuseven
EDIT2 You want to be an officer? I'll make you one but be ready to accept responsibility once we determine those.

I gave up months ago. I'd really love to test the game, i want to make it better in anyway i can while testing and i want to try it out. But ultimately i think i will like this one regardless. I liked WoW a lot (expect the endgame part, ridiculous gear grind prevented me from entering it) and i've like all the BW games i've played.dogmanstaruk said:

That might be the solution, there's 2 main reasons I play wow
1) PvP (BF3 will replace that)
2) to play with my brother (again BF3 will replace that and worse case scenario i know i could get him to join me on TOR)
I guess for the time been I could either lapse or get the 1year deal for wow sub(free diablo 3) and if TOR doesnt cut it fall back to it and if it does do some last WoW Arena Fraps and bid adeu to it.

It really doesn't have any major impact in any game, only few players do it even and the games that did try to focus on open world pvp never really took off nor really worked. Gank fests, faction imbalances, zerg rushes.

oh crap guys, I think my wife is getting me a gaming PC and this for Christmas... not sure why she wants to be a SWTOR widow... but, oh well.
Nice to see you've almost met your requirement Woorloog.
I'm playing BF3 as well at the moment. It really does give me my "competative fix". But an MMO is an entirely different kind of competition imho.
I played Cata almost primarily for PvP and it was amazing. For about a month. About that time my Arenateammate (also in NeoGAF) and I had pretty much gotten everything we could get and boredom marked my face a sledgehammer. WoW's just so empty right now it's astounding.
After that month you're just left with nothing at all to do.
I'm hoping TOR can fill the void.

Looks like the Imperial Agent progression vid will be todays update if their latest twitter update is anything to go by:
Secure transmission established. This is Keeper. We may speak freely, Agent; prepare to receive your orders.

Yep, Imperial Agent progress vid:

According to this http://buy.swtor.com/us/ in the fine print at the bottom - "EARLY GAME ACCESS MAY BE UP TO 5 DAYS. THE LENGTH OF YOUR EARLY GAME ACCESS DEPENDS ON THE DATE AND ORDER IN WHICH YOU REDEEMED YOUR PRE-ORDER CODE AT THE CODE REDEMPTION CENTER. SEE PRE-ORDER FAQ FOR MORE DETAILS."
So it sounds like Dec 15th, the day Galaxies goes dark, will be the day TOR becomes available.

Certainly a good way to ensure starter areas don't get overcrowded, servers don't crash

I was pretty set on Jedi Knight, but I've been watching these class videos, and I just don't know anymore. Smuggler in particular is looking pretty good to me.

Wow, the IA video didn't hold up compared to the Smuggler video. Everything in the IA one looked boring, where the Smuggler seemed incredibly badass from shooting the Sith twirler Indiana Jones style to fending off an assault as a Gunslinger while wearing the awesome cowboy hat and bandana.
