| I tried to report this to get this thread moved to the appropriate forum. |
| We've just gotten a board for SW:TOR, so if you still want I can move it there for you. |
| Thank you very kindly! Now for some updates so I can start filling this forum up! |
| Actually somebody moved this after I posted that, so you should thank that someone else :P |
| Man, oh man, I am really excited about this game. |

Man, oh man, I am really excited about this game.
I certainly hope it's done right, and then not ripped to pieces like SWG was. |
| No offense to the masses that want this game. and don't get me wrong I'm one of them. But this is a backup game for me if the ecom. kills my first choice. which is Stargate worlds I've been a fan for so long for that series. But yea I was a jedi in SGW before the CU. I tried to play SGW again after and wow did the game just suck. I landed back in town and there was 500 lvl 1 jedi all dueling each other. I had done most of the jedi stuff before so I ended up being a lvl 80 jedi, That fun last for all of 1 hour. while I lighting attacked and sabered lvl 1 to death. Then the whinning started. about how they were jedi and you should be able to kill me even though I was a lvl 80 one. bah. So I really hope this gets balanced out really well I like how they are going back before were having all these jedi's make sense. |
| I don't think that is going to be an issue. BioWare tends to know their stuff and they make quality games. At least I keep telling myself this is how it will work out since this game will be my last hope for a quality MMORPG. |
| I cannot wait for this game to be released, have they announced any dates? |
| No, currently no dates have even been estimated. |
| The FAQ has been fully updated |
| I'll admit, I never really got into MMOs, but this looks like it'll be the one to tip the scales and get me hooked. If there's a class akin to the smugglers from KOTOR I'm going to lose it XD |

Well, they just announced the Smuggler class. You're in luck. as for me, I cannot wait for this game - although I'm not too much into MMos, so I'll wait before I commit myself. |

I feel the same way, except since its based on KOTOR, I'm definitely joining. |
