Hmm Van I think thats new I never had to enter that when I created my account when you try to log in there should be somewhere at the top of the launcher that says something to the affect of adding the security questionss its got a click here link.

Yeah when I tried to login using the patcher I got an error at the top of that directing me to the SWTOR website where I had to enter 5 personal questions.

Then when I tried logging into the patcher again I got asked one of these questions :)

Yeah that's new. I a little wtf moment when that happened. Didn't help that their servers were being a little flaky when I attempted to log into the swtor site.

I do expect this to be a grand year for the genre though. :)


Hard to complain... Depending on your point of view, this is either the best, or worst time, to be a gamer. So many fantastic games have been released in such a short amount of time: from Batman (so far the best of the ones I've gotten so far, in my opinion), Saint's Row, and Assassin's Creed, to Battlefield, Modern Warfare, Skyrim, SW: TOR, Diablo 3, Starcraft: Heart of the Swarm, Mass Effect 3, not to mention the two you brought up... it'll be a great 18-24 months if you've got deep pockets (or are willing to commit a large portion of your entertainment budget to your gaming addiction like Mike and I).

Whoops I forgot to RSVP my invite. Guess that means I won't get in until the last 'wave' on Sunday so I think I'm just going to wait it out until release. Played a lil bit of beta already so no biggie. I'll let Skyrim suck more of my life away, before TOR does the same thing lol. Have fun everyone!!

I am looking forward to The Old Republic, but have to admit that I'm not "blown away" by it. There are just some... to be polite I'll say "questionable"... design mechanics that, in my own opinion, will relegate The Old Republic as the pinnacle refinement and swan song of the last generation of MMO design instead of the dawn of a bold new era in MMO gaming.

If it weren't for the promise of BioWare's signature care to story, I'll be completely honest, I'd probably pass up SW:TOR because it's just a lot of the same-old, same-old. When MikeyNY told me about the "Legacy" system and the implementation of the "last name" as a server-wide last name, all I could think was, "Really?! What is this, Everquest?! This is utterly stupid."

For those of you who don't know, way back in the day, Ultima Online had the flexibility to create a proper name for your character (e.g. John Doe). When EQ released, they couldn't handle spaces in the name, and you had to achieve level 15 (an several-month-long process) to "earn" a surname that was displayed like a title.

I don't recall Luke having to become a Jedi Master before he became a Skywalker. I know this particular feature is such a minor detail, but to me it's indicative of an "old school" mindset that just saturates nearly all mechanics of the game.

If they were focused more on grafting an MMO onto Star Wars, there should have been an effort made so that we could make the next "Boba Fett" or "Han Solo" or "Qui Gon Jin." Instead, to me, it seems like they tried to graft Star Wars onto an MMO so you're going to wind up with a million "it3rw3bzNam3s".

I came up with the monniker "Dakon Kor" for my Commando character because it seemed so perfect in the Star Wars universe. Instead it's looking like I'll be stuck with "Kor" the Commando and "Dakon" the Smuggler. It just feels like something is missing.

Sorry... I'll get off my soap box.

I guess my point is this... I'm really looking forward to digging deeply into another series of BioWare stories in SW:TOR. I just wish it had a better underlying system than it does right now. You can bet I'll be playing when it releases,(and expect that I'll be putting in the better part of 15-20 hours a week), I'm just not chomping at the bit to play like I was with recent games like Assassin's Creed, Saints Row and am for upcoming games like Mass Effect 3 and Guild Wars 2.

I'd recommend that when the servers open for weekend testers, people should come to this thread. As soon as someone creates a toon, be sure to post here with relevant details and other interested folks can follow suit. Does that work?


Works for me.

To Nniicc and Halish,

I'm an aussie who preordered CE and i didnt get a beta code for this coming weekend either. I just realised (thanks to another site,) you have to rsvp on swtor.com/tester first.

I did that, and thats how I got the download link for the launcher.

Sidenote, i was having trouble logging into the launcher until i provided all the answers to security questions on my account.

Hope that helps :)


I'm not talking about the beta invite. I received that mail. The game is currently downloading. I was talking about the give away beta keys.
