While I don't work at BioWare. SWTOR was fourth highest grossing pay to play MMORPG in February 2016. It's making more money than FFXIV and that game is doing very well according to Square Enix. It also made more than Blade and Soul. Here is my source: https://www.superdataresearch.com/blog/us-digital-games-market/

Okay thanks, I think I'll just go and do a level 1 JK then. I'll save my token for an alt or something. With the new leveling speed, it won't be too difficult to finish up the story or anything.

So, I noticed my codex entries are empty on my instant 60. So I can never fill those now? I know I can't go back and do class quests and some gave codex entries, so will I never be able to finish the codex?

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I'm following it on my first republic toon.

My choices are pretty boring. Darth Bane is a big favourite of mine. I really hope Disney do a film trilogy on his story, it would be amazing. The other is Obi-Wan Kenobi who I am a big fan of, probably my favourite Jedi in the whole of Star Wars. Strong in every single aspect. How can you not like Obi-Wan? Other favourites who come to mind are Revan and Luke Skywalker.

Sorry, but this is a horrible post. Derp derp. Of course this game has more subs/players. SWG game out in 2003 and was one of the top MMOs at the time before WoW came and brought millions of new people to the MMORPG genre and made it much more popular. (400k subs is considered poor now. Back when SWG came out it was a very strong amount.) SWTOR came out to massive hype in a much more popular time for MMO's with a very popular dev team in BioWare and it is now free to play meaning you can get in without the sub fee which puts some people off. SWG was always sub only. SWG's housing was better btw. SWG's housing is still the best in any MMORPG I have ever played. The game was so ahead of it's time and completely unique and there is still no MMO like it today. The upcoming Archeage really reminds me of SWG though. I'm not saying SWTOR has poor housing, SWTOR has excellent housing and I really enjoy it but it's no where near as good as what SWG did with housing IMO.

Excellent thread, very helpful too

Well no, thinking about it, he took a full blast of Sidious's lightning. He should be dead, but I wouldn't put it past them to write him back in somehow. If Maul and Boba could come back, why not Windu?

That's too bad. We could definitely make lots of other NPC's though.

I've been trying to make Overseer Tremel, but I can't get the wrinkles. Is there no way to give your character wrinkles?

You should definitely make a thread for it. Then they could be sorted so people could pick and choose easily, or something like that.

BioWare must be speciest!!!! In all seriousness it does raise a question as to why only Humans.

That's so awesome! Someone should definitely make a slider thread for characters. Would anyone be interested in doing that? I could give it a go if not.

I agree with you OP, I like all the prequels a lot. I guess we're just in the minority. I think a lot of people like to jump on the hate prequel bandwagon.

Not completely unrealistic but Ithorian.

Yeah companions are near impossible to not know. I always see them in the fleet. I myself always try and walk around with lower leveled companions so I don't spoil it for others. The worst is when people walk around on a starter planet with one of the last companions. Of course, there is nothing against it, just a bit tasteless IMO. I've now learned to turn general chat off and I always add them to ignore after/if I see someone spoil something. I've been playing since launch and only finished the BH story. (I'm slow ) I know about 4 other major story parts from other classes due to spoilers. Just a sad thing that I have to turn chat off due to morons spoiling stuff. I like interacting with other players.

Is posting spoilers in game a bannable offence? I'm leveling on Dromund Kaas and I constantly get people posting spoilers about class story and half of the Sith Inquisitors story is now ruined for me. I was just wondering if anybody knows if this is bannable? If not, how do you guys feel about people posting spoilers and do you think it should constitute a ban? It's gotten so bad, I actually had to turn general chat off. It's annoying as hell. This never happened before F2P.

I'm sure this has been said already, but I haven't read the comments so sorry if it has been said. EA control this, not BioWare. If anything, James said that and then at a later point in time, EA decided to do what they did and made it a digital expansion. I'm sure this would have been the publishers decision, NOT the developer.

This. He was on the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic team. I have no idea if he still works on SWTOR though.

Yeah, it would be awesome. So would Wookies and Ithorians, I believe the issue is the voiced dialogue and the fact they cant speak galactic basic. I know Wookie and Ithorian can't speak it, and I'm sure Rodians can't either, so it wouldn't work with the dialogue. Unless of course, you don't mind your character speaking Rodese, Shyriiwook or Ithorese.

Excuse me if I'm being an idiot, but is there going to be more announced? Maybe a new race or something? Or is it just going to be the new planet and levels? Thanks.

Any news on when the Cathar race will be released? I've been saving a Jedi Knight character for it

I agree with you about the action bars but at the end of the day, you're playing for free, you have no right to complain about it. If you don't like it, sub.

I hate it when people say 'oh it doesn't happen to me, so it must be a rare issue!' I mean ffs, use your brain. Such a stupid statement.

This. Great news, reminds me of SWG. I loved Life Day in that game.
