[Guide - Naming your Toon - Youtube!]

Here's an extensive guide to how you can easily create an array of "...some kickass names" for your toon:

As SWTOR is steadily coming online, I thought this could be useful. Am I wrong or right? You decide. Watch and discuss!

[Character Name Question]

As I understand it from Beta sources, you cannot make a name with two or more uppter-case letters in it. It has to do with preventing naming exploits that derail into a bunch of insane names. So regretfully, that also means that names like your own will suffer from it and be disallowed.

 

Nothing to do.

[Early access guys write the day u entered the code]

I entered the code about a week ago when I bought the pre-order. I'm not in yet, and I also now have the "Redeem a Product Registration Code" suddenly unchecked for whatever reason.

 

I guess a week ago would be around the 5th or 6th. Might've been a few days earlier than that though.

[DON'T rely on your e-mails]

First wave was at 7:00am and the second was at 8:43. I hope it picks up, a lot.

 

Nice, so it's not once a day or anything, that's good

[3 Servers FULL already!]

It's launch. It happens.

[DON'T rely on your e-mails]

just run the launcher when a new wave is launched, doing it every 5 minutes wont do anything.

 

But how often is a wave launched, by your estimate?

[DON'T rely on your e-mails]

Just to point this out, a friend of mine didn't get an e-mail and he's able to play right now. Only solid way to know is by loading up your launcher and checking if the play button is active.

 

Cool, thanks for the heads up mate. +1

[Extremely Poor Start for Service]

It's like Bioware took 10 kids to an ice cream shop and then made 9 of them stand outside the window watching the 10th kid eat.

 

If they could not handle the launch numbers they should have just limited the number of pre-orders and not taken people's money. They didn't seem to have any problem with their payments servers handling the load.

 

This is very possibly the stupidest idea I've ever seen from an MMO launch. All they have managed to do is generate huge amounts of bad will and place themselves just above Sony for worst customer service from an MMO.

 

No the stupidest idea ever is this thread.

[Redeem a product registration code]

I have the same problem, and I'm seeing that a bunch of people have it as well. So I'm assuming that EA is on top of this. Hopefully, they'll even issue an official statement on the issue.

[Total BS on launch]

...Said the guy who is getting into the game BEFORE release day.

[Names are going fast]

Good grief, I logged in shortly after 7 AM EST and one of my main names was taken already! Get on ASAP and reserve your names peeps! Lots of squatters out there.

 

I am going to make a Youtube video soon about how ridiculously, ludicrously easy it is to great epic character names for MMOs. Stay tuned.

And of course BioWare wouldn't have any plans to roll out any more servers, would they?

 

Not at all, they expect 3+ million players and everyone will be on the current servers

Lol are YOU guys serious? This is an utter non-issue. This is pre-release and the problem is going to be temporary. Standard MMO launch issue.
