I bought the CE because I'm a sheep.

Baa. Baa.

Heck, I already bought mine yesterday morning. Not the CE, though. Too poor for that crap.

I wish I knew what colour the crystal you get for preordering is, though...

It's multi-colour, lets you alter your blade to whatever colour you want.

So..

.. pink lightsabers.

Let me guess, your light sabre will be the one that says "Bad Muthafucker" on it?

edit: Would you look at that, I've turned crimson.

The CE in-game store will be accessible to CE people only and it's been confirmed it's an actual area in the game.

So we CE people get our own VIP room where the plebs cannot go.

Baa, baa here too!

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I let some of the Star Wars guys from Second Life set up a guild and will be following them as an Officer because I'm tired of leadership and just want to play.

They're good, intelligent, guys who know what they're doing. They're not even virgins so god knows what they're doing on Second Life. We run quite a good roleplay centre there.

I know I shouldn't even be making the comparison, but after preordering FFXIV's collector's edition, I don't feel like preordering a MMORPG, much less another CE.

As purple is my favourite colour, I'm eternally grateful to Mr. L. Jackson for getting violet sabres added to canon.

Euro or American server? I tend to play on a very casual level and I prefer capable conversationalists to capable raiders any day; a good raid group is just fantastic icing on the cake.

I preordered the digital deluxe edition, but am debating over ordering a CE instead. I highly doubt the in game CE store will be worth the extra 70 bucks it'll cost, though (since I really don't know wtf i'd do with the statue).

either way, I'm looking forward to the game when it hits.

As long as you state that you know Mortious in your application, you should be accepted. Omega (the leader) is a pretty cool guy from the US West Coast.

Any lurkers or people I don't like who abuse that offer will just get kicked out by me once the game launches.

Submitted an app. It'll take me a while to get the feel of Star Wars flavored RP; I've never really done the sci-fi idiom in a social game context before. Family and academic limitations might make my schedule unacceptable as well but I don't see anything that suggests they don't accept casual players.

I'm not entirely sure exactly what I am going to do in SWTOR yet, but I hope I can keep your guild open as an option, Mort! I'm trying to convince some of my old WoW friends to defect with me (I quit WoW last year) so I'm not sure how well that will end up working out.

Let me know if he accidentally rejects the app.

Would be interesting to get into a sprawling Star Wars game again... so long as this one doesn't involve running halfway across the planet for a mission.

At least the company is one I have a good amount of faith in.

Holy shit it's ArchAngel, I thought you were dead or something.

Devs have said that while the worlds -are- huge, they've implemented a good transport network via shuttles and personal vehicles so you won't be running everywhere.

They've said in a recent interview that if you simply ran from one corner of a world to the other it would take approximately 30 minutes but there should be no reason to do so.

I got better.

Anyway, that's pretty encouraging.
