Like RPing (real RPGs, PnP ones) but this system doesn't sound so good. One name per server, for all characters regardless alignment or species? Sounds really crappy system IMO.
Do we have to choose a name?
Why the hell are we limited to one surname per server anyway?
Just because apparently.

Guys, I suggest you don't invest too heavily into it this weekend. just remember your toons will be wiped.

Definitely. Just look at it as a means of getting an idea of which class you would like to play. If you'd like to play an IA (like I am) try out the smuggler so you don't ruin the story.

How are you ruining the story? You are playing through it.

I would recommend playing the character you want to play so that when you get to retail you have some idea of how to play the class and can skip cutscenes without losing out on the story to quickly get off the starter planet and the mass of levelers.

People often will want to make new choices and not skip on their dialogue choices, so going back they are going to have to still listen to lot of the cutscenes, and just having to play through the same exact content over can get real boring.

It really is best players don't ruin the game for themselves and not just for story but general fatigue.
 
It's not letting me log in to the main site. In fact the login option is gone...

If I try to go to Account settings it says Page Not Found.

Hah, yeah I just came to this thread to see if anyone else was seeing that.

They've been having troubles with it so looks like they've just taken the logins down completely until they can make it stable.

Their site is getting hammered and they are working on a few login / account related issues.
That's why they took down the login option for now.

They have this sort of problems far too often. Not good. Looks like even smallest DDoS attack could topple the site.
And if they can't keep the site stable, what about the game servers? I don't have much confidence in them.
Oh and it sucks that i get SWTOR emails very late very often. Like 6 hours to a day later than some others. At least feels like it.

Log in issues could be because every single person who's ever registered for the beta over the past 2 years as well as tens of thousands of other people who got codes are all trying to log in simultaneously. Just sayin'

Could be..
But why does it happen? Why is it allowed to happen? Seriously, they need to expand the system to handle twice the amount of traffict at least. Otherwise no one is going to be able to play on the launch day. And since it is so close to Christmans... well, i wonder if anyone is solving problems then.

Launch is spread out due to early access. The site is probably getting more trafic this week than it ever will.

I guess I didn't get it. My emails didn't say anything. I did RSVP before they emailed me to submit my RSVP.

Me too but i think it doens't really matter. Otherwise the system is really fucked up. Especially since i get all SWTOR emails later (6hours to a day usually, sometimes even later).

Got my email saying I could begin testing Friday at 10 am. Unfortunately I work all day so I'll be logging in around 7 pm. Hopefully I wont have problems getting logged in that late in the evening.
 
Just applied to the GAF Guild. Is there an empire side as well? I'm not sure which faction I'll be maining.

Also, is there a way to speed up this download?

I'm not seeing an actual pre-order number in there, it just says the survey indicates that that many people could possibly be playing.

Regardless, I still know it is a nice amount of people who pre-ordered, and i'm one of the filp-floppers who'll eventually play both.

I'm pretty sure that the game is well over a million preorders, Last I checked, it was at 860k, with an average increase of 65k a week. And that's not including the digital preorders.

Can't really think of the last MMORPG that sold over a million copies out the gate. This game is going to be huge.

Got in for Friday testing btw.

People were saying they went and made it too hard. Before it was too easy, and then they said they went to extreme with difficulty

That's correct. I'll give you an example. Ravaged Reconstruction was damn near impossible after the enemy buff. The quest is way way too long as it is and then it was hard as hell as well. I had two groups wipe out on it. The second group was composed of three people who were above the recommended level for the mission by 2 levels and one was at the recommended level. We got destroyed by some of the enemies to the point that we simply just couldn't beat it.

I got my Friday time, but I still can't get past my security question that's broken. Support still hasn't got in contact with me. Maybe I should call instead?

Ravaged reconstruction was a bitch to do even before the tweak, I can't imagine that they went and made it even harder.
