I just read on IGN that if you create a level 60 character you will not be able to take that character back and play the original class story arcs. The game will "assume" that you have already completed that story so there is no need to do it again. So if you start at level 1 on a new character you will be able to play the original class stories, but not from level 60. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/23/e3-2015-11-things-you-need-to-know-about-star-wars-the-old-republics-knights-of-the-fallen-empire-expansion

Good point. Since you have to be a subscriber to play the new content... I didn't pick up on that right away.

Excellent. I wasn't sure since the new story lines will be taking place years in the future from the end of the current story line. Also when they said that we would have all new companions to quest with it got me a little nervous.

This may have already been answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it. So my question is this... Will the original SW:TOR content still be accessible after the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire, or will it be completely replaced by the new content/story. I know they say that you can either continue your story from 60, create a new level 60 toon, or level from 1-60, but not sure if old content will still exist in game.

I registered my preorder on 11/14 and I am in with the second wave today. Good luck everyone.

Hey guys, It has come to my attention that the OP can't really read because that is not at all what Stephen Reid has said. In fact Reid posted on the forums at the end of the waves for today that tomorrow would possibly see everyone in game that registered by the middle of November. Besides, how is giving you something free slapping you in the face? I bet you would complain that your free lunch was cold and demand a refund!

Considering that she has been a member, and following the game's development, since 2008 I seriously doubt it is trolling. To actually address your question Lorien, report the name if you feel it is inappropriate, as could be the case here. There are rules for naming conventions and this definitely violates those rules.

See toperswtor there is something for everyone on the SWTOR forums

First off, the $5.00 for your preorder comes off the final cost of the order. If you demand that back, you will then pay the full price for the product not the current balance IF they choose to give it to you. Second, they never guaranteed you 7, 6, 5 ,4, 3, 2, or even 1 day of early access. They told you that you might be able to play upto five days early. If they let you in on Dec 19 they have met their requirement - actually, when you get in on the 20th they have still upheld their end of the bargain.

I am ready for launch

To be accurate, presently the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic are two completely different empires...however in about 3,624 years, under Emperor Palpatine, they will emerge as the same Empire under Sith rule.

The $5.00 you paid to pre-order was the fee to hold your copy of the game (just like if you went into Best Buy or Game Stop to purchase it). The $5.00 actually comes off the total cost so you didn't pay anything for the privilege of early access. They were quite clear on what early access MIGHT be from the beginning. Your choice to not fully read and understand the terms and conditions is not BW/EA's fault. If you intend to play at launch you will get nothing back. If you don't plan to play at launch you will get nothing back...but you won't have to pay the balance either. Good luck in that though. See you in game dude!

You had all the credibility in the world...but then you decided to hit that submit button...

Tell you what...I will log in for you just to keep your account happy until you get home

I took vacation too

Yes I was too. I have sent in a ticket but they are swamped I'm sure. I am going to assume things are good to go, but if I hear differently I will definitely shoot you an email or PM.

See you ingame dude!

The need to keep the Origin Worlds moving so that people can level. One of the rough spots in beta was over crowding on the origin worlds which made it really boring and hard to level even to 10 at times. This way people game, level and clear out for the next wave - kind of like a buffet

I believe so, but don't quote me. When I check mine it tells me that I have created my security questions and the second step but not registered yet. But when I go to re-register my code it says it is already registered. Soooo....I think there may be a couple glitches in the process.

RP servers prefer that you game in character and have some suggested guidelines/rulesets for this. It is generally assumed that you are IC all of the time in spatial chat unless you indicate otherwise. PvP servers will have open world PvP in most areas except Origin Worlds if my understanding is correct. And of course RP-PvE and RP-PvP are combinations of the rulesets.

I can totally get behind this and agree with you there. I ordered on 7/21 but sadly didn't register until early August so I run that risk too...but I am creative and will find a way to have my name Yeah...I took vacation through the rest of the week to make sure I could play when I am finally given access Actually you can. If you don't want to play on the assigned server just have everyone create toons on another server. You will need the 4 members and 5000 galactic credits to found the guild on the other server, but it is possible. Best of Luck

No...what I am saying is that Bioware owes you nothing. Early is access to the game is a privilege that came from pre-ordering, not a right that you are owed because you ordered the game. BW never said that you would be guaranteed to play 5 days early they said that they MIGHT let you play upto 5 days early for pre-ordering. If they let you in on Dec 19, they have upheld their part of the bargain...for that matter, when they let you in on the 20th they still upheld their part of the bargain because they never guaranteed anyone early access.

You aren't owed anything because you registered later than they did. Heck, Bioware/EA doesn't owe you anything at all. You are paying the same as they are for the privilege of playing Bioware's game. You get access from 12/20 - 1/20 like everyone else who pre-ordered. Just because BW/EA are giving pre-orders early access sooner than you doesn't mean anything. Guess you should have ordered and registered on 7/21 like they did.

It is important to remember that early access is a privilege of pre-ordering the game, not a right! No one was guaranteed early access. Since day one BW/EA has said that people who pre-ordered the game MAY be granted early access - not WILL be granted early access. They do not have to give us even 1 day of early access, and those that get it should be grateful they got in. Second, those who participated in beta did not get any special treatment or access to the live servers that you aren't getting. You have the same ability to download and patch your client that I do. All of the beta testers are all re-rolling all of our toons again, and starting over once again. Remember, launch is 12/20 - everything else is extra that they do not have to provide. Be grateful that they extended early access by two extra days.
