I've made a thread about a guild I'm starting IRL with some friends of mine, that you or someone else name Kovac_nz already joined.

Not that I care for it much but there should be another guild because... well it's Republic and on a PVP server. Garbage.
As one who has played extensively in the closed beta the last thing I want is to repeatedly get ganked while questing. Quest worlds are pretty big and once you get to Nar Shaddaa you'll bump into a lot of people in the other faction. And I mean you'll be many many people in the same zone. So unless you're constantly grouped expect non-stop harassment and running back to whatever you were previously doing which can take upwards to 5 minutes and dying doesn't take much.
As far as PVP goes, battlegrounds are very satisfying and fun to play. They have a very nice "auto-balance" feature and I'm usually in a battleground within 30 seconds when I want to. I love Hutt ball.

I'm still waiting to hear details on races. Everything I've seen so far looks really humanoid... like they didn't want to make any extra models.
I had a feeling that I might have done so at some point but I couldn't find the thread
There is a website that STWOR has that allows you to precreate a guild and pre join it so that you get an instant invite when you create a character on that server as well :

Damn, these guys are on the ball. No wonder DA2 was a rushed suck-job; they've been diving their A-game into this.
See, that's kinda boring. I realize the old Star Wars game took years to get them, but I really enjoyed being able to look like a freaking alien.
It's also the reason why Warhammer Online sucks so much: More than half the team got shifted to ToR once it was released.
Sir, you are delusional!!

Warhammer Online sucked at least 8 months before that.
Press embargo has been lifted today and here is a thread from official forums that has links to a bunch of press sight beta previews:

I'll certainly be up for this. Hopefully I can get a new laptop before the launch date.

I pre-ordered this but recently cancelled it due to some major suckitude on EA's part. Did you know if you pre-order, and have to change your payment information for some reason, you actually have to call them to cancel your pre-order, then order it again? I was told by a number of customer service representatives that there was literally no way for them to change my information, even though my credit card was stolen and subsequently cancelled for security.
"Doesn't that mean I lose my spot in the early access?" "Well, um, I... yes..." "Uhhhh." "Sorry."
That was after I fought with their account services site for an entire night trying to cancel another account I had with them.

So if my bank was to send me a new credit card (Not because I asked for a new one but because they have implemented a new feature) with the same number but a different expiration date would I run into problems?

Probably. I'd call and ask. There's a feature on their site where they'll call you, but all three times I did it the quality of the call was terrible. I could barely understand most of their side of the conversation.
I'm seriously wishing I had pre-ordered through Amazon instead of Origin because of this nonsense with not being able to change payment info. Thanks local movie theater for getting your shit hacked and thus my bank automatically issuing me a new card just to be safe.
EDIT: After browsing around the forums some, it seems people are having success at changing payment info over the phone (as a recent change). People are also saying that they will give you a chance to change your payment info if the charge fails on release day. So I guess I'll try calling and see what happens, and if it doesn't work, I'll just wait it out.

I want to play this soooo badly.but with Orgin? I rather not.
Actually, you don't NEED Origin to play. If you buy a digital deluxe version then yeah, you need it to download the game, but it updates through the game itself and doesn't launch via Origin. They've actually been pretty clear about this.
That being said, it's clearly only a matter of time before they combine ToR fullying Origin. They already make your Origin password match your ToR website one if you have the digital version.

It's disheartening that TOR may or may not have ANYTHING to do with Origin or have EA play a bigger role than most publishers do. For the longest time this game was in my cart and all I needed to do was to press "Purchase". In the end, the Beta convinced me that this is NOT just another MMO. This is not, JapCrap. This is a great game, with great lore and the Dev team were working VERY HARD on fixing bugs. Their service convinced me to buy this game.
Then it took 2 hours to get the confirmation email that I bought the game... and for some reason the charges weren't the same.... I took a step back... bent over.... am currently waiting to get ass fucked by Origin any day now.

Just got a beta invite.
Like I said, you only need Origin if you bought the Digital Deluxe Edition.
I have NO IDEA how I'm going to be able to get it downloaded before the pre-order beta. The beta client had better work for the final product or it's going to be a nightmare that first week.
