Reading the GW2 subforum and their posts about launch has brought back memories of SWTOR's launch, about 8 months ago. Do you guys still remember your experiences and what you were doing?
I remember I had a full box of meatlover's pizza and a few bottles of Coke, and as soon as I had the game ready I remember picking the server that all the Oceanic folk had decided to land on (The Swiftsure) and getting on my Trooper. I played the whole night, and when I woke up early the next morning I kept playing on still until falling back asleep when night came again. I wasn't zooming through the levels, but more just exploring every crook and cranny (while still going relatively quick).
The first group quest I did that I still remember was one on the Trooper starting zone where you have to group up to kill hard mobs on this certain island, and I had such a blast using that move where you hit the mob with your gun and it moves back. I'm not sure if I actually had that move yet or if I'm misremembering, though.
Also, I loved shooting and running at the same time. It was really cool to see your bullets bending and curving if you moved and shot together. And, the voices just blew me away during those first few dozen levels.
I also remember how fun it was to alt tab and look at the threads zooming by on MMO-C, and talk about the experience together. I still remember Trollsbane and everyone else, all hyped up and excited about it, talking about the tiny details.
It makes me wish I could forget about everything that happened at post-launch and experience the launch all over again.
