Yeah, noticed that. But do you know if we (Yurops) can play on US servers?

In beta there were tabs for Euro and US servers that you could switch between, so I don't see any reason not to.

I hope it stays that way.

Also, I would've preferred if the server was called "Hedley Lamarr".

It's not Hedy, it's Hedley. Hedley Lamarr.

Although I pre-ordered on the 21st (first day pre-order was available), GAME didn't send me my code until the 26th so I'll probably be in very late tonight or tomorrow.

It goes on when you entered your code.

Thanks to my Australia trip I couldn't preorder before the 12th of August. Maybe I'll get in tomorrow evening. We'll see.

Australia was awesome, though.

Sweet, looking forward to seeing you on Korriban.

I'm just finishing up the Heroics there and mopping up the Lore Signs I missed before moving to Dromund Kaas.

Grouping is a little awkward, people need chat bubbles like they had in SWG otherwise it's difficult to know who's talking without concentrating purely on the chat box. But I suppose I'll get used to it. I've not played an MMO for a long time.

I love the story missions.

Well, if it wasn't for the fully voice acted quests, with multiple choice dialogues, this game wouldn't be any better than almost all of the other MMORPGs out there.

From a pure gameplay point of view, this game isn't any better than say, WoW. However, its presentation, and the story your character goes through, glued me to my seat yesterday.

Gotta say, I am LOVING this game so far. As stated, it doesn't really break much new ground in terms of game design or mechanics, but the video cutscenes, voice acting and story are top notch. My Jedi main is already level 15. I rolled a Sith Imperial Agent to briefly check life on the other side, and before I knew it, I'd played long enough to reach level 5. I think I'll I be playing this game a while. At least long enough to roll one of each class and see how they play.

I ended up on Hedley Lamarr as well. Turned out it's a West Coast RP server, so that's what I went with. Perhaps I shall see some of you all in game. Do we know if there's cross-faction communication in-game?

And in the interest of throwing one more Blazing Saddles quote out there: "You will only be risking your lives, while I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor."

I will be in as soon as I can with my Imperial agent. I've been slightly busy helping the fiancee move back from college this weekend and the asses at bioware send me my email right before I left home too

I find agent to be massively entertaining btw.

After 4 beta invites, and never even having the time to play it for free.. download, install, patchpatchpatch... Then, the kids and all have me busy.

MORT! Is this game worth the monthly? Is it casual friendly? I don't feel like wasting money on "OMG THIS SHIT IS AWESOME", only to find out it only gets fun after putting in 80 hours grinding up to the fun stuff.

It's fun right from the start.

In fact I'd call it the final evolution of the classical MMORPG. The next big-budget MMORPGs will either look like this or have to bring something really(really) new to the table to be successful.

Finally got my Agent off Hutta on over to Dromund Kaas. Didn't get a chance to do the Black Talon flashpoint on my way from Hutta, but I might go back and try it later. Being an Agent is definately a change of pace from being a Jedi and I'm still trying to get used to it.

I'll throw your Agent a guild invite Cal, if you're not in a guild already.

More than happy to go back through the Black Talon with you. It's very fun!

I have to say, I'm somewhat disheartened by the discovery that Chiss can only be Agents or Bounty Hunters. I was going to roll a twin to my Agent as either a Sith Warrior or Inquisitor and was disappointed to see no racial option for Chiss in the those classes. It's discrimination, I say! We shall overcome.

Pretty good.

You only ever have to really group for Heroics and Flashpoints, all of which are optional but really fun.

No... KotOR was an RPG.

You are perhaps thinking of the Jedi Knight series?
