There's a difference between launching now and launching 7 years ago though: there wasn't anything like WoW on the market then, and people expect a lot more right from the beginning. Games are inevitably going to be measured against what WoW has. Whether that's fair or not. Or even realistic or not. (And I don't think you can even really compare TOR to other MMO launches the last few years, which means people will probably expect even more, but maybe that's just my skewed perspective...) |

I'm a different style player. I'm the kind of guy that (on my bounty hunter) turns off Mako's healing and turns on her combat skills so stuff dies faster. Healing schmealing.
Spoiler!
As far as the monthly fee goes, I think if there was any game that ever warranted a monthly fee it's this one. The estimated length of time it takes to play a single character zero to 50 almost three times as long as KotOR and KotOR 2 combined. If you look at that in 15 hour (max...) console game terms you're paying 60 dollars for at least 10 console games worth of content, and that's only playing one character. It would be fun to duo stuff with her though. Just keep the pressure on. |

Your second companion may or may not be a pretty hot Jedi Shadow chick that apparently every Knight in beta romances. Maybe that's how you motivate the wife: jealousy! Not that that's the Jedi way. |

Are you still in the beta, keg? Or was that one weekend only?

And I'm apparently completely locked out of testing now. No more weekends, no regular external beta invite. I literally could not play another game all of last week. Last edited by keg in kc; 09-14-2011 at 10:35 AM.. |

When the weekend began we were clearly told by one of the community managers that we were not going to be exempt from future testing, but then the next week the lead community manager says the following:

Hence I'm stuck waiting for release. Which is actually fine, because I spoiled more than I wanted to playing for 4 days. But I really, really wish I could log on at the same time.... |

That doesn't make sense to remove testers that have a knowledge of what problems were there before and not see how those problems were fixed.
I would also think they need to test the higher level content more so they should bring back the 1st weekend testers at their current levels and allow them to keep going. You can't start off brand new each time. Just my 10 cents |

The servers are wiped, so either everybody is starting at the beginning or they're going to give each account access to premade high level characters (they've done that on the regular test server). |

I keep checking my email over and over just hoping to be selected, or just to see a release date. This wait is killing me.
