Esva Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 As of Dec 2nd 90% of the actions anyone could do in a guild were taken away. So it may be a case of you will have to join when you play. Also due to this im not even sure if its possible to join a guild through the guild HQ now as from the 2nd guilds were starting to be placed on their server's.

Reinhardt Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Looks like an Ordo guild will have to be made in game then once we all start. Since Burr's Ordo only has him in it and thus doesnt qualify for pre-deployment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoza Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 We we all be sticking to one server, even on both sides? Or... we going to span across two?I'm not really fond of spanning across them myself... Just means you'll have to deal with different traffic loads, and have to switch servers when you switch characters, thus a possible que time, because you don't log out of the server when you switch characters, but you have to log into a server and que up if its full.

Reinhardt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I would suggest both rebel scum guild and Imperial guild be on the same server, engage in schedualed events between the two sides.. I personaly, will likely only be on the Imperial side. WHICH the Ordo Imperialis guild of Burrs is set for at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrescentSnow Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I guess the idea the Imperial guild to be PVP to give a range of kinda different game experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoza Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 hmmm.. PvE servers can always run around flagged. I ran around the entire beta flagged as PvP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 But if I run up on a rebel scumbag and he's not flagged...? I can't blow him away. That removes an entire element from the game. I mean, I'll play with you guys wherever. I'm just voicing my concerns over a PvE server. RP-PvP are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoza Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'll be honest, I've never really played on a "PvP" server, I did have some fun as a Jedi in SWG when they were permaflagged, and played a few games that were PvP only anyway, but really that was it. I don't mind trying PvP, in the past I've avoided it because I've been more into the single player story aspect. I also prefer an RP server over regular servers just because there seem to be less noobs and more respect between players. We should add a poll to this thread just to see where everyone is leaning.In Order my preferencesRP-PvERP-PvPRepublicEmpireAll in all though, I'll likely end up following the bulk of everyone else as I really don't care THAT much. But I do want to stick with a server that I can enjoy, and not go hopping around, that's stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I just don't want a server full of "LUWK SKIWLKER6969's." That's my main concern. It breaks the illusion for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrescentSnow Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wouldn't like going hopping around either. I agree we should stick with the RP servers to avoid any noobs about, but we might seem some that will lack the skills of rp. I am going to possibly stick with two servers and that will be extent of it. I have my republic character and imperial character on the other RP-PVP server and that will be it.

Reinhardt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I agree, RP-PVE is the best choice. It allows us to chose when we want PVP, and if WoW was any indication, while there is prehaps less RP than we get in Ordo on Titan, there is a certain level of maturity among 99% of the players in these types of servers, not to mention naming conventions (though I'm not sure how TOR will impliment that, WoW had it easy, no numbers as they were inappropriate for the setting. BUT they are appropriate for the setting sometimes in SW, so we'll see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esva Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 considering its a test build it will be best too, as the R.C platform will have a ton of bug fixes and what not, so its best to do so in case something screws up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esva Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone,We're happy to finally announce today that Early Game Access begins December 13th, 2011. This means that everyone who has pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic and redeemed their pre-order code will have up to seven days to play the game early.As before, when your Early Game Access begins will be determined based on when you redeemed your pre-order code. You will be emailed on the day you are being admitted to Early Game Access to confirm you can now access the game.Early Game Access was extended to seven days to allow us to gradually ramp up the number of people in the game over a longer period. This allows us to ensure maximum stability and a good population across servers. It also allows us to have more flexibility on exactly how many people we admit per day.With that said, we're still planning on allowing a large number of people into Early Game Access on a daily basis. In our final Beta Testing Weekends, we had hundreds of thousands of players on the game servers - and we have additional server capacity for launch. However, we still need to remain flexible during Early Game Access, and this led to the decision to notify people on the day that their Early Game Access begins.We know many of you expected and wanted advance notice on Early Game Access, but we made this decision to ensure that we could remain flexible and react to unforseen issues during launch. Our number one priority has always been a smooth launch, so this decision was a necessity.The good news is that effectively everyone is being given two 'extra bonus' days as the EGA program is now up to seven days long. The bad news is unfortunately we cannot let people know on an individual basis when they will gain access until we are ready.We do understand that you are concerned about when you will receive the email. To save your F5 keys, as well as being notified by email, you will also be able to check the Launcher for Star Wars: The Old Republic. When you have been granted Early Game Access, your Play button will be enabled. (You will need to restart the Launcher on occasion if you're still grey.) Finally, you will be able to login to your account page here on SWTOR.com and check your status.We absolutely understand (and appreciate!) everyone's eagerness to play, but this plan will ensure that we don't fall at the final hurdle - bringing people into the game at launch. We hope you'll bear with us as we gradually grant Early Game Access to everyone who pre-ordered.--------------------------------------------------Our sales and marketing teams are working closely with retailers in the US and Europe to ensure that copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic will be delivered in time for launch day.In Europe, game copies will be available at retail starting on December 15, 2011. For those of you in the USA and Canada, game copies will be available at retail starting on December 20, 2011. For those of you who pre-ordered digital editions of the game from Origin.com, you will be emailed your Game Codes starting December 16, 2011. As soon as you receive your Game Code (AKA 'product registration code'), be sure to enter it on your account under Code Redemption, because as soon as you enter the code you will receive your digital entitlements in-game (i.e. digital items included with the game edition purchased). Remember, your billing cycle will not start until official game launch, on December 20, 2011 at 12:01am EST.There will be no ‘grace period’ post launch in which those who are in Early Game Access will be able to continue to play the game. In order to continue playing past the Early Game Access period, you will need to enter a valid launch game code and payment method. Please read our FAQ for more information. We apologize for any previous messaging which may have led you to believe otherwise. Edited December 8, 2011 by Rykiana Ferina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhardt Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yep, even though I registered my code in the summer, I wont be able to play it till I get hte cd's from the store, as the DL is way too Ffffing large for my ISP to allow without dollar signs in their eyes. And this is what.. the first game EVER where Europe is getting the CDs before north america? More incentive for me to live there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huttser Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 You know Rein, Europe getting CDs dosen't always mean the UK gets them. It's quite common for mainland Europe to get releases a day or two, up to a week before the UK :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
