How are you going to play TOR?

Get my ass to 50 to start raiding. Sorcerer most likely

I'm going to buy alot of red bull and lock my self in my room until January 1st. JK, I'm probably going to stay in from December 21th to 24th and try to get to level 50 or at lest 30ish.

Challenge accepted. Everyone has said that to me with every new MMO I have tried out, and I have proven them wrong!!!

Temeluchus shouldn't be encouraging level rushers like that. He's only hurting the rest of us and even the rushers.

Awh, did i hurt your feelings? I'm pretty sure i'm allowed to have a opinion, no need to get rude. Please close the door gently when walking out, thank you!

I followed yours posts due to your "topless is ok for me" post on the other forum (perv here), only to find that your bashing on SW:TOR?! They are both great games, and they will both provide great competition for each other. I agree that you have an opinion, but being hostile about that opinion is that same thing as people trying to convert you to their religion. Please stop.

Just as I did during the beta weekend.

Getting lost in the world and listening to all quest givers, the light / dark decisions really make you listen to all of the speech so that you don't accidentally choose the wrong one.

As for the speed side of the game. I hit level 18 on beta in about 20 hours, skipping all quest text (third time going through) and not bothering with little things like I did on previous toons. First time round it took about 20 hours to get to level 11-13, but I was learning.

If it's your first time playing then I HIGHLY recommend listening to quests, following quests, doing side quests, professions and the group quests / dungeons. You'll be missing out on a lot of fun content. Rushing is not the way to go, this isn't like wow etc.

Agreed, first time through is going to take a long time to get acclimated, learn your class, listen to the story of the game, look around at the environment.

If you're playing it fresh on release, you are in for a treat IMO, don't waste it.

If you haven't been in the beta, trying to power level and steamroll the game is pointless, you won't come close to the leveling pace of people who have done it a couple times. You should enjoy whats put in front of you and go steady. If you want to do endgame I would assume youre in a guild and the leveling pace should be close in your group if you want to enjoy it together.
