You still here? I thought you'd be doing hand-to-hand combat with Jar Jar Binks by now. May the troll be with you.

You girls need to just **** get the **** out of this thread if all you're gonna do is troll each other.

Dang! I'd pay good money to see Jar Jar Binks get beat up! Sadly, wrong era though.

It's a Star Wars thing, you wouldn't understand....

Save for the ghastly prequels, I enjoyed the movies as much as the next guy (esp the gold bikini), but it's gotta stop somewhere.

Thx at least 1 person in here is talking about the game lol. It's like a school yard in this thread.

There's no point in trying to fight with people who think games are pointless entertainment, and probably spend hours a day watching television(non interactive video games) or posting on message boards. Some people just like to tell other people what they should or shouldn't like. :laugh2:

If you have any other questions about the game, feel free to ask them and I'll try to answer those as well. =)

Excellent reply and all true. I can't count the many of times my family has said my son and I game to much.

Of course they love his perfect straight A's and school leading test scores, honor classes and problem solving skills that are off the charts. All of that is ok, but he games to much.

:laugh2: .....ok Grandpa!

Game has been great so far .... only had a few times where there was a wait to get on a server.

During the work week, I don't really have the time to play. So, while I have access, I can't really play for 3 more days.

 

[pupulehaole]

Who's playing this game so far? What class did you roll?

 

[Duane]

I've got a level 23 sawbones smuggler on Keller's Void.

Wait until it fully launches

I'm a level 25 Jedi Guardian. It's so terrific. During peak times, there were queues on most all of the servers, but that was intentional. Bioware put lower population caps on the servers so that people who weren't already on those servers but were newly getting in would be deterred from rolling there, and would go to one of the ones that was lower pop.

I'm sure there are still going to be queues at launch, because hell, there were 2 million people that did the stress test, but it may not be as bad as some think. I'm sure they have more servers ready to open up as needed as well. The pre-launch has been amazingly stable. I haven't had so much as a single disconnect.

 

[kapolani]

Are any of you playing this on a less than new rig?

I have a Dell XPS720 that I bought a few years ago for WoW. Not looking to get a new PC, but wouldn't mind playing this game.

They are supposedly adding 50+ servers tonight.

They are supposedly adding 50+ servers tonight.

I find that very hard to believe. Installing 50 server clusters would require a huge undertaking and would be nearly impossible to prepare and thoroughly test in one day's time. Most people have no idea that each "server" in most large MMORPGs are actually clusters of multiple servers rather than one single server. Now if they already have 50 servers installed and tested, I could see that and you would have to believe they already have a lot of servers ready to go for public launch.

However, that being said, Bioware has already come out and stated they will add servers conservatively because they do not want to add too many servers and be forced to prematurely merge low population servers soon after launch. The initial rush and demand will not be an accurate way to calculate how many servers you need since everyone will be trying to login and play at the same time. It's like if everyone went to the store and bought one bottle of Coke .. most of the people would not find a Coke waiting on them when they got there simply because the stores stock them based on normal average demand, not surge/rush demand.

I suspect you will see a lot more servers go live by tomorrow's public launch but I doubt very seriously it will be enough to remove the login queues. They will likely reassess their population and server demand each day after launch for the first couple of weeks and add servers as needed.
