Just goes to prove that taste varies. Personally, I shelled out for the TSW lifetime after trying the beta.

Ours took 86 hours - just over three and a half days. Ticket was filed at 1 AM on Thursday, 6/14. 2 tabs transferred without problems.

Math fail. WoW has nowhere near 10M US subscribers. More like 2-3M.

There was no Q&A this week. They probably skipped it because of the Guild Summit.

There's a reason why CS response times are so slow...

Now that the trial is here, it seems pretty obvious that this restriction was put into place in order to keep free trial players off the fleet. I know the restriction was put into place shortly after launch, but they were thinking ahead.

This has got to be one of the lowest priorities. If you don't want to activate it, don't click it. What's next? Can't click a stim if it's still active? Can't use fast travel if you're next to the destination? Can't aggro another group of mobs if you're still engaged with the first group? The only solution needed to fix mis-clicking is to stop doing it.

Woohoo! Score one for the good guys!

There's no rebellion.

You should try reading the article you linked. The only message there was that they wanted to do a Mac port, and would look at it. That's nowhere near a firm commitment that they'll actually do one.

The premise of the OP is totally bogus anyway. Anyone who uses their Mac for gaming already has Bootcamp and a Windows license. Additional incremental cost: $0.

Let's talk about Diablo 1 & 2 - they were acclaimed as groundbreaking but not for their story. Their story was about as unoriginal as possible. And being able to remember the Butcher, in my opinion, has nothing to do about story. So I think we fundamentally agree what story is.

This basically proves that there's no accounting for taste. I think TOR is superior to the first two, but at least Witcher and Deus Ex are in the ballpark. The next four, I found to be complete bores story-wise. Never played the last three, so I can't say about those. Basically, I find story in TOR far superior to anything on your list that I've played.

I know this sounds good, but it's just not realistic. For starters, you won't even be able to hire the team lead. All the best writers are good at writing solo, they don't know anything about writing in a team. Separately, regerding the central thesis of the thread, I think TOR has very good story elements. It's not going to be regarded as a work of great literature, but that's not a fair comparison - it needs to be compared against other entertainment writing. Compare TOR against other video games, movies, TV, and I think TOR does pretty well.

Well, there's Kaliyo. She's ... different.

The funny thing is, if they weren't the same, players would be constantly complaining about how the differences 'prove' that the devs favor one side or the other.

Try the solution by 'turasx' here (5 posts in): http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=57236 Worked for me.

I feel pretty confident in saying it's not coming out on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. Actually, considering that they just started looking for special playtesters, the 13th is pretty much impossible, the 20th is unlikely, so it's the 27th, or it's April.

Cryptic (the company that originally made CoH) is making the NWN MMO, and it will have tools for player created content at launch. The caveat is that their track record is spotty since CoH, since they're also responsible for CO and STO. (The latter also has player created content.)

Uh, that just moves the problem to the non-AUS/ASIA players on those servers, who don't deserve it. After all, these were US servers from the start.

No thanks. Social points are for grouping through quests. If you want social points for PVP, then I want PVP and raid gear for social points.

By that standard, this suggestion is moot. You've already been warned that the AC choice was permanent. Nobody should be complaining about this at all. No change needed. If people can plan before switching, they can plan before making the choice in the first place.

When you get new companions is dictated by your progress in the story quests, but is not the same across classes. Some classes get companions earlier than others.

I only spacebar for forum posts. I think Bioware should change the spacebar to cost credits and apply a debuff.

This ignores the fact that if WoW launched today with all of it's current content, it would never have launched, because Blizzard/Activision would have gone bankrupt in 2008. No company can afford to develop ten years worth of content before going live.
