SWTOR information gathered thus far from various sources

I'm downloading a 'certain' Beta client at the moment!

First, I'd like to welcome the new people to the thread, and thank the lurkers for posting a bit. =)

Second, you all need to stop asking for stream info. Many people asking are not really known by the people who might have access to a stream, and that makes it too damned risky. I'm sure if you actually stop and think about it, you can understand where I am coming from. Constant talk of streams will sure as shit give this thread attention that we don't want. I'm not willing to risk this thread for shitty looking streams. The betacake stuff is fine. But live streams are something very different.

I keep this thread updated in my own free time because of my enthusiasm of this game. And from what I hear all over, people are appreciative of the work. I do not want Bioware coming down on this thread. I do not want this thread censored. I do not want drama. So please stop asking for live stream info. If you are someone who has access to live stream info, please keep it out of the thread and use PMs to communicate if you feel the need to do so.

Thanks all.

I am pretty new to this thread, only knew about it since yesterday. I, and others I'm sure, really appreciate this thread and the info within. It's obvious you put a ton of work into the main post, that is an absurd amount of info in one spot.

I think it's just people are so excited for this game, they are scouring every nook and cranny for any tiny bit of info they can find. I know I spend way too much time doing this myself.

Anyway, this is a great thread of like minded people who are really looking forward to this game. So far I have seen far less trolling and ass-hats here than the other places I have been. I hope the main TOR community turns out like this , rather than the official forums.

Lucky dog! What country are you from?

Lucky dog! What country are you from?

Not that lucky, Heroes of Might & Magic 6 keys aren't hard to get. :'(
I've only seen others play the series, the pace might be a little too slow for me but I got the key for free anyway (pre-orders also get one).

Anyway, back on-topic of the one game to rule them all:
I don't even think Bioware will be expanding the countries that they're inviting from much further. They've got enough people now to test the English, German and French localizations. Can't say I've got much hope of being invited to SWTOR testing.
Apparently some Swedes and Fins have been approached as well with the questionnaire e-mail that was sent out a while back.

They should invite Macedonians, Bulgarians and Romanians to test! You know, because of the distance and whatnot. Yes, I'm reaching for straws.

Let's not invite Romanians!
Some countries just seem to be full of people that do nothing but misbehave in MMOs. "Pycc? )))" still makes my blood boil.
"Tbl CyKa e6aHa9" is my only answer.
"ты сука ебаная" for those with fancy keyboards, I believe.

Tell me about it.

Back in classic WoW, they opened migration from Skullcrusher and Warsong to Stonemaul. Needless to say, Sovietmaul received ~5 Skullcrusher international guilds, and ~100 Russian guilds. Those were not fun times.

Aye, I used to play on Shadowmoon which was just as bad.
They finally opened up free transfers out of there and every non-Russian immediately packed their bags. A few months later they opened their Russian realms, after that Shadowmoon was deserted. I logged back there once and did a /who 1-70, it returned less than 5 people on the entire realm...
Needless to say the realm was shut down not long after.

Different beta.

Awww shucks well keep the hype high then.

Haha, who on Shadowmoon were you? (Assuming US)

I played on Shadowmoon Horde, was in the guild Bloodsworn, which later became Overrated (late in AQ40), I ended up leaving during Naxx (before they transfered to BDF) as I was dual raiding with them and Vodka on Mannoroth Alliance (my original server) and Naxx, couldn't handle raiding basically every day!

[Ratatosk]

Pretty sure he means EU.

The Russians occupied quite a few realms before they got their own. Others did and still do. Like we had/have Sovietmaul, Greekjuros, Swescale, etc.

An interesting tidbit from DE on a question I hadn't seen an answer to yet. Its good to see that you can fix a mistake as long as you don't finish out the whole conversation piece.

Can I just abort the whole conversation and log out or do I just log out? I guess its a technical issue, but I see a scenario where I by accident pick the wrong choice and in panic shut the computer off hoping that the decision I made didn't get saved. Could that happend?

Hey Folks,

In the event of disconnects, you will start at the beginning of the conversation, as if it never happened. You don't need to rush to turn your computer off, though. The same thing happens if you hit the Escape key in the middle of a conversation. It quits out, dumps your choices and you can start over. It’s not until the end of the conversation that it saves it out and sends it to the server. It’s a good escape hatch for when the cat walks on your keyboard or you accidently hit a response you were just browsing.

Hope that helps,
Daniel

Did you have a lot of Russians on the US realms, too?
Sorry for gloating over your derp-moment.

That is quite nice, I never tought about it earlier because of previous experience you could just load but its nice that they you can stop a conversation if you do accidentally pick the wrong option

Heh yea, and Brazilians, and many other euro's... you never specified you were on an EU server, and to the other smart-alecks.. new-flash, many, many, many Europeans play on US servers.

Ugh, I'm all too familiar with Brazilians and their Portugese spam as well.
