Well, I have been here since early July, and there are still some bugs lingering since then. There are also some glaring wholes in Bioware's development of the game. I'll mention one simple one: Advanced Vendors (Light - Dark Side, CE, etc..) have a shortage or no Medium armor peices for Sith Marauder or Jedi Sentinel. Here is a bug from July, as an example: Sith Warrior class quest Bosses on Korriban, drop Sith Inquisitor gear. Why in the world wouldn't class quests drop class gear? That is a pretty simple thing to implement. Itemization is horrible in SWTOR. Crafting doesn't even help much either. I have never been able to actually craft something for the level that I was at. Even if it was close to my level, just a few below it, I was already wearing something better. Once you have an "Orange item", you just switch the mods out for the remainder of the game anyway.

I did not expect anything to be really innovative with this game. It is a decent, or average, game.... period. I have given this game a 7 out of 10, from back in July when I first started playing it in closed beta. Nothing about it has pushed my impression to 8 out of 10. But, if you ask, "Are you enjoying the game?" i would respond with a "Yes". Will I be here in 6 months..... Very Doubtful. This game has the least replay value I have ever experienced in a supposed MMORPG. I will play all 8 character classes, and then I will be done. There is absolutely no reason to play through the different ACs of each of the classes, because having to redo the same quests all over again is just that painfully boring. I predict this game goes F2P within its first year. It really should have launched as a F2P title to begin with. Or, better yet, Bioware should have dumped the stupid idea of making the game sooo linear and sooo "its story driven and its our story" and given us a true sequal to Star Wars Galaxies.

Darth Bane hands down. He was the Sithari, "The One", even after he got rid of his "armor". He later learned how to swap souls with anyone. Darth Zanah (sp?) did not defeat Bane, he transferred his essence into her body. She was young and healthy, but not worthy of taking his place as master. Windu was weak in comparison and influenced by the dark side, and Bane would have easily manipulated him.

Rest in Peace, Master Anderson! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/02/bob-anderson-dead-sword-master-darth-vader_n_1179324.html

Although I have not confirmed this myself, but I hear that there is a definate advantage to light side choices - for both Republic and oddly even Empire side of game. But, I have noticed an obvious disadvantage for gear in being a Sith Warrior - Marauder or a Jedi Knight Sentinel. I went to a Dark Side Vendor, and there was not a single piece of Medium armor. I'm sure smae holds true for Jedi Sentinel at Light Side vendor. I won't hold my breath for BW to fix this. I've been waiting for some bug fixes since July, that are still in-game.

As a forum admin for many sites over the eyars, I can tell you, it is very easy to set these up. Bioware could literally set them in in less than 5 minutes. Your assumption that BW will eventually get to them does not take into account how easy they are to set up. I'm quite honestly tired of giving BW a pass on the simple things.

I don't want to come of as some kind of a canon / lore zealot or anything, but I really did expect that ceratin names would not be allowed. Examples, and I don't mean any malice in pointing these out: "The Solo Legacy" for a Legacy Name..... Really? I would have expected that names that are the property of Lucas Arts (Solo, Skywalker, Vader, etc.) would be invalid. "The Jedi Order" for a guild name on an RP server.... Really? I would have imagined that someone on an RP server would be a bit more original! "The Sith" for a guild name.... Really? same issue as The Jedi Order.

Here is some legal advice... you don't have a case. Guilds are private. They have the freedom to assemble with who they wish to assemble with. They can exclude members for any reason they wish, or no reason at all.

Vette is very difficult to read..... In general she does not like dark side choices, but she approves when you execute weasels and weaklings (informants, spies and other sleazy characters). I pretty much ignore her reactions to what I'm doing, and I make up for it by giving her praise whenever I get the opportunity (dialogue choice).

A few points to make for the OP... 1. Bioware built this game around the dialogue and cut scenes... period! They even left certain main stay MMO functions and features out of the game because they made it more difficult to implement the cut scene / dialogue(s). 2. You are absolutely correct about the game suffering greatly when it comes to your 3rd , 4th, etc.. Alt characters. 3. We have all discovered the fact that there is not 200 hours of content for each class, but only for the first class you play through on each side (Republic / Empire). After the first toon, all side quest content is repetative for all additional alts. 4. Finally, a note on itmeization I've noticed. Loot drops completely favor Heavy / Light Armor wearing ACs. This is particularly true for the Jedi Knight / Sith Warriors who if not a Guardian or Juggernaut we actually get class quest lootdrops for the Couselor / Inquistor or heavy armor..... Medium Armor drops are freak'n rare!! Even in our own class quests!! This was something I mentioned and bug reported back in July!! Still not fixed!
