Nice try. It doesnt take long to figure out that you have to have a subscription to post in the wow forums. BioWare should apply the same rules here. It is not me who is trolling here.
BioWare will apply the same rules. On Dec 20, you must have an active subscription to post on the forums.

BW added 45 servers today. Expect more until they think enough servers are open to handle the load.
pvp queue exploit folks.According to BW, there is no exploit. Questing is granting faster XP than PvP.

Mine was black/yellow in beta. Black in the middle with a yellow glow.
-
Only BW knows. I would bet they try to catch up to all pre-orders by Friday. They plan to be at late November by the end of the day tomorrow.
-
BW will never share that information with us. They probably have the server caps low right now since everyone will be jammed into the starter zones. The caps will increase eventually.
-
Need an android app asap.
-
By even mentioning a date tomorrow, they had better deliver. This place will be a million times worse if they don't invite people with pre-orders in late November.
Sometimes, it is better to not say anything than to risk the wrath of the community. They're damned either way, might as well not make a promise you can't keep. Many MMOs have learned this lesson. Bioware will learn the lesson too.

My point is, is that nobody can really answer this question!
All I hear is how SWTOR has no innovation and doesn't add anything new to the genre and so on and so fourth....and how it is just WoW in a Star Wars skin.
Well then how come SWTOR drew so much attention?
Well how come people such as myself who NEVER would have thought to play an MMO, decided to get into MMOs with SWTOR? Yeah, you might say because it is SW and SW is popular and draws people. But Galaxies was SW but yet that game didn't bring me into MMOs.
I LOVE SWTOR, but if it is simply just WoW in SW skin, then how come I am not flocking to WoW to play that as well? I mean, WoW looks BORING to me and I do not plan on reading walls of text to get a mission.
---------------
People just cannot give SWTOR the credit it deserves......
From my limited experience in beta, the story telling in TOR is the new innovation. The way the class missions work and the different story for each character adds immense value to the game.
If you don't care about the story, then it is just another MMO where you kill things until max level, then form a raid and kill more things. You might PvP too.

RE my last post, its incredibly hard to get a job in this economy. Besides I'm a student and I need to pay for rent, food and other things and even then I can't afford it.
Then why are you paying $50+ to buy the game and $15/month to play it? Save the money and use it on rent, food and the other things.

His screenshot shows he entered his code in August.
OP: Try logging in. If that doesn't work, make a thread in the Customer Service forum.
-
Hopefully the Android app will come soon.
-
Work.
Surf the TOR forums.
Watch a useless BBY QA with devs.
More work.
-
Oof! They cut-off at Oct 2.
<---- Oct 3

Of course servers are going to be light now. The majority of the pre-order player base is at school or work. During prime time last night (around 8-ish CDT), most of the servers were normal. There were a number of light pop servers and 2 heavy pop servers. Hopefully this trend continues and they let lots of people in today.

Nothing in this ad is technically false, but I think we all know what is being implied. This really isn't cool.
That ad isn't dishonest. That is pretty mild in comparison to some of the things I've seen on the web.

October 3. Hoping to get in Thursday or Friday.

Guys, there was like a 4 day period where the servers were down the first month. It was sooooo bad. It's funny how in hindsight everyone can make WoW's launch a bed of roses. Read these exact same posts when AoC, Aion and Rift came out about how much greater WoW's launch was.
WoW was decent when compared to the other launches of the era (EQ, EQ2). Compared to today, WoW was a horrendous start. The difference is Blizzard did not expect 250,000 people to join on day 1. No MMO had ever seen those numbers.
Bioware has a good idea of the number of peopl eentering on day 1. They know how many people pre-ordered and have pretty good data about the ratio of pre-orders to day 1 subscribers. Given the information available in 2011, they better pull off a better launch than WoW in 2004.
-
it would be nice if SR queued up another wave of invites right now....a little bonus for that awful BBY chat.
-
Different eras. MMOs were still a niche market in 2004. They are now the most popular PC gaming platform.
-
I was actually expecting everyone wanting to be a Jedi Knight, guess I was wrong?
PvP players gravitate to the darker, more powerful stereotypes. Most MMOs see imbalance when the factions are aligned to good/evil or light/dark.
