I can careless what Server the OP picks and rolls on. I don't have a horse in this race. I can careless which server is the most popular or cool or has the best quality of RP. I don't care, I don't care oh and I don't care. What I do care about is his circumstances and situation. I have had the absolute worst luck in the last 4 or 5 MMO's I played with Server Selection. No matter how much research, forum home work or character's I rolled I always got stuck on the lamest, least populated Servers. Either forcing me to quit the MMO or pay for a Character Transfer. So I will say this, Lord Adrass (Or whatever the hell its called) is packed. It is so packed that even if 50% of the people leave/quit/go to another game there will still be enough people to support a good healthy RP Community for the next few years. Everytime I log in, it is the ONLY RP Server that says "Heavy". Hell it's one of the Only two Server's that consistantly say "Heavy" on the entire list. So do what you want, I know if I was in your situation I would make a point of having atleast one steady character on Lord Adrass. Heck, I don't even like my character on Lord Adrass and hardly even RP with him! But I know when things like Name Changes, Barber Shops, and stuff like that finally get released I will be on a super populated RP Server when I get around to RP'ing!

LOL, my wife always says "Are you going to play with your little internet friends tonight"? No! Gawd, Shuttup, they are Guildies! How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling them little internet friends!

Well, maybe the OP is embarressed because he sent the invite to all his MMO Friends and he has had them beleiving that he was a she and now the email blows the lid off his secret identity/MMO Persona. Seriously though, I agree with the OP. No real names need to be blasted anywhere on the inter webz. Simple email address would suffice. Way too many weirdos! Also, kinda related but not really I noticed recently there is a new thing going on XBOX Live and everytime you try a community game it auto blasts everyone on your friends list a huge long arss message about how they should try it. Everyone I know was like "Wow man, so you really love that Avatar Legend huh?" I'm like "What are you talking about"? You sent me that message to try it, must have took you an hour to write it! Although I have to admit I thought it was pretty damn funny when I received a bunch of messages from my friends that I should try some perverted flirting community game lolz. Gosh they must be so embarresed that everyone now knows they were playing that!!!

I would rather be able to play as a Wookie, a Mon Calamari, a JaWa, Ithorian, What Race was Guido?, The Dog people, Trandoshians, or any variety of Aliens, hell even Ewoks! I would gladly play these Races willingly even if it ment no visual/cosmetic Gear Appearence when I equipped loot. I would be happy with a wookie who occasionally changed his Bandolier or a Mon Calamari that could never "Show" a Helmet. I am not interested in their story, I am interested in my story, how I want to play the game. What I want to create. I would gladly sacrifice the stories and full voice over interactions for the ability to play a variety of star warsy alien races. Even if this ment leveling them through stories that made absolutley no sense.

lol who necroed this thread?

Everyone is different, those were super important issues to me. I know, I'm crazy...can't help it..They were!

Wow, get chat bubbles up and running and I'll be content for years! When you look around the game world....there really is a ton of couchses and chairs...I mean a ton! More Furniture at the Fleet and any Cantina than the Room Store/Ikea.

Hey, woah, I'm not attacking the game. Sheeeesh. I am subbing and playing. I don;t know if its a Star Wars thing or a MMO Genre thing but the life span of these suckers really seems to be speeding up. You used to get some friend keys with a collectors. Maybe get the Invite a Friend 6 months to a year after release. Heck at this rate the game will be F2P by Christmas. Again, I like the game, I don't complain or troll. Just not going to take a close minded NOTHING TO SEE HERE defense. Also not going to say the falling.

Well then how do you explain 3 weeks ago a topics moving as fast off the front page as the WOW forums (On of any of the sub forums as well) to the same threads sitting there for weeks at a time and hardly even being updated?

No chat bubbles... No ChAt BuBbLes.... nO cHaT bUbBlEs.... No Chat BUBBLES!!!... and a terrible /emote system. Sorry, not terrible lacking....for example /meditate does nothing but say So&So Meditates...I mean, really no animation? Pfffft! Oh, and the anti social atmosphere is 100% caused by teh lack of Chat Bubbles and the insane range of /say. No one even knows who the hell is talking to who!!!

They didn't say no combat macros...they said no Macros. I just want to be able to use macro's for RP. I wish it was just a combat thing.

Well...considering the forums have coime to a carwl in regards to activity and I am guessing only Active Subs can post...that says something right there. That coupled with the "Hey get your friends to play for Free!!" Promo has already launched I think it is safe to say the number of active subs had dropped DRAMATICALLY!!!!

I'll would rather give up on this whole personal story and focus on the voice overs to be able to play a whole slew of Aliens. No offense but I'm not even interested in their story. I want to play my story.

I'm a good guy republic middle of teh road on the whole good bad choice thing and I have had Red light sabers since I started playing. (Like a month ago). Why is everyone acting like this is new?

It takes me that long to log in...

All I know is everytime I log into Lord it says Heavy and Sanctum says Medium.

I would really love to be able to buy table dances and stuff. Maybe a little companionship. You need to offer women and sexy stuff! Hot Twi Lek women! Green women! Human women! Blue women! I'm not talking cyber here either, that is stupid. I'm just talking about playing a seedy dude and have other players willing to pay the role of entertainers. Just to help bring the "World" to life, hehehe to flesh it out. That way when the rest of us are hanging out RP'n the world feels alive or I can throw a few credits around aka Make it Rain and have a little party going! Send some dancers over to a friend, send them one over to bring a drink to a pretty little thing and have her tell her its from me. That kinda stuff. Send a dancer over to get someone drunk and hang out with them and you can do the espionage RP that people are into. Spying...stuff like that! Be great since the people RP'n this would have a ton of action servicing both Republic and Imp customers. Seriously, god knows the developer has no intention of making the world a kinda living breating interactive part of the galaxy *cough* SWG. So its up to the players! (With our SEVERE Lack of tools!) Now I know alot of people will say this is stupid and blah blah blah. RP'n a pimp is done and dumb. I think of it more as playing a classy criminal than a pimp. Mafia like, old school Vegas or even Hutt like. Yah if your imature and looking for Cyber its lame but I saw a ton of this in Age of Conan and it was freak'n awesome! And classy and great RP. And it just opens up all kinds of RP oppurtinities for everyone that just stops by where ever they decide to set up shop.

I think it's great for a site like this but one thing that keeps me from using it or going back is there is no General Discussion.

Hey man, Listen to me. Go to Lord Adrass (Spelling). There is so much RP you can't go wrong, I have no friends, no guild, hell I don't know anyone. BUT if I am in the mood to RP I can just walk up and talk in /say and it is on. So much so, that if I want to have a productive session, I purposely have to go out of my way to not talk to anyone. Also, Time zones don't matter, all that matters is population. These MMO's, people play 24/7. This server always says Heavy. Now I have no horse in this race, I can careless where you roll. Like I said,m I don't have a guild or social circle where I need more people to come to this server. I'm just telling it how it is.

I never got hooked on wow but back in the early days didn't we (the players) just start using /trade as global?

Oh and you are all right. This game has no soul.

I do, but I am on the RP Server. Seems the populace does more to contribute content and keep the game interesting than the developer.

Seems everyone is having a hard time meeting up and getting things accomplished, Complaining about not seeing other players or not seeing enough players. Merging the chat may alleviate this sense of everyone feeling they are playing alone or on an empty server. Now of course for those of us on popular servers this will be a cluster f so maybe they should just do it or the smaller pop ones or make it an option to join it, turn it on. Also, in case you are not aware, this is an Instanced Video Game. So if you are on lets say Nar Shadaa and there are only 8 people in your zone, Chances are there is actually 80 + more but you need to switch Instances. I remember AOC had a similar problem post launch and it really helped creating a /global channel instead of breaking teh chat into zones like Khemi, Aquilonia, Cimmeria, Etc.

It's what makes it MORE than a Video Game It's what makes it a Virtual World. I Can PVP a Higher Quality with more balance on my XBOX. Battlefield 3, MW, Halo.... I play MMO's for the virtual world...that is what makes them unique and different...the game play is pretty much the same across the board on all of them. EVEN The best MMO Content in the world is actually pretty boring and lamed compared to other Video Games....That is why the "Virtual World" part of it is so important. They just don't make them like they used to...How a Genre that started with games like UO and SWG has ended up where it is today....I'll just never understand. Its like the whole genre regressed. I would be much more accepting of this game world if this game was on teh consoles like DC Universe....but SWTOR is PC Only and it looks, feels and plays just like DCUO.

LOL, It's a good thing no body of Water in the Galaxy is more than two feet deep
