Grr! I applied for the beta ages ago and still no invite. I'm not playing any MMO right now so I have tons of free time to "test" TOR. Hook me up, Bioware!

Did you guys who got into beta pre-order the game before you got the invite?

If there is any game I am looking forward to that will replace Daoc it will be Prime. I've talked to Sanya quite a bit and I really really like what I am hearing.. if I will leave DAoC completely for it or not.. that is up in the air.
I will not be playing SWOR a lot. I'll most likely do what I always do... level a char.... play a bit... and sell it before the profit of the accounts sinks.
Chars I've made are spread throughout the online world more than viagra in Hugh Heftner's bedroom.

I've pre-ordered TOR and plan to play it casually for a few months until something better comes out (Guild Wars 2 is the game I'm most anticipating) or perhaps longer if it somehow beats my low expectations by a lot.

I am honestly surprised you are not looking fwd to Prime. That’s Sanya’s new game. I’ve spoken to her on a few occasions about it and have been active in the first stages. They are going to open it up to more people soon and I like it. It’s almost like DAOC with the 3 realm sides, classes etc. I won’t be going to GW 2… and I still only plan on going to SW to level 2 chars.. and sell them. It’s what I typically do to new ‘flavor of the month’ games that I can make a few hundred bucks off of. Shiznittle… as we speak now.. my Piroxbot is leveling chars in WoW and selling them for 85- 110 bucks a pop. /shrug.
But check out Prime. Honestly.

Im in SW:TOR beta. Waiting for the next iteration of beta to come out and test.
Its very pretty, and very easy to level.
Most of the post-50 game is hidden from beta testers at the moment, so I will reserve judgement on that.

I guess there just hasn't been enough information or publicity around it yet to catch my eye. Sanya is just a PR hack. I mainly remember her for feeding us lines of BS from Mythic about how this or that wasn't overpowered or was working as intended (usually right before a massive, poorly thought out nerf came down).

Sanya seems to have her ideas in the right place, but from the looks of it, has poor execution. Watched some videos, and if this is beta testing, this game is screwed without going back to the designing board and completely overhauling the game.

That’s why I stick to playing DAoC and botting chars to 85 in WoW and selling them /shrug.
I played Rift… sold within a month of capping out when this kid with Downs down the road from me was prestiging non stop and I realized it takes no skill to get pts there, just gotta be in there and running around mindlessly like a special kid on a field drop. I tried FF 14 (got it for free) and, just like the reviews say… it is the worst game I’ve ever installed on my computer. I pray it didn’t give my other games AIDS. It’s that bad.

Any of the old crew going to play SWtOR, Tor?
I made a guild already - "Unholy Covenant", going to be low key/stress and pve server (since I understand there will be open world pvp even on pve servers - correct me if I am wrong). Going for a small friendly guild over a big guild with the "you must be on at these days at these times and log into this site daily" - just not my seen.
EDIT: Empire btw, fits with the guild name.

Neg.
Plus, if I do go - it'll be to level a char and sell it right away while the profit remains massive.

From what I saw in the SWTOR beta it was just wow/rift/any modern mmo + bioware dialog trees stuck to quests... which even AoC did before them.
I was kind of hoping it wouldn't be such a carbon copy, but have some of it's own new ideas. I certainly didn't see anything in there, though. So, I won't preorder... I'll wait for player reactions.
FWIW I'm not a person who plays MMO's for story, and I didn't care for previous Bioware games (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) so maybe I am not in the demographic for this thing. Regardless, I just didn't see it doing anything different than any other MMO and I thought for a company with a budget their size it was a bummer.
The next 'mmo' for me is Diablo 3, heh.

Don't get me wrong, my mmo mindset is: hope for the best, expect the worst. But since I am a scifi nut, I have to try it (just like I had to try STO).

I know nothing about Diablo only because I don’t like WoW. I use WoW to profit .. that’s it. I have no loyalty or love for the game. I set my robot up to auto level, auto craft, auto farm, and auto max the trades I pick… and I leave it on. I pvp it non stop for the 85 pvp armor.. and then I sell it. I rinse and repeat. Since I get the expansions for free, I’m only out the first expansion and since I just recommend myself to the game I don’t pay no monthly fee. I make about 150 – 440 a month depending on how long I bot. Every month a new char. Rinse / repeat.
Rift was fun. Rackir, his wife, kloster, Rackirs kids and a few of the Piracy crew / Canadians. We had a great time but the game got stale. I believe Kloster and I were the last ones left and then I just sold. I made good money on that. I should look to see how my char is and if it’s in good hands… I believe it was Syxxx on seascape or whatever it was called. I hope the new owner is making me proud.
I am looking foreward to ‘2’ games. Prime.. because of the 3 realm action. And Planetside 2. I loved planetside. I had such fun in it and when most of the Gawainettes went there when the game was in beta we had fun. I drove the ‘bang bus’ and ran people over, then had my air mech and shot down flyers better than anyone. The Core Expansion made it lame. I didn’t play long afterwards.
Star Wars may not captivate me. Games that have just 1 side against the other never do. I look at those as just profit and that’s it.

Star Trek Online = sucked
Warhammer = FUN to PVE in.. but sucked…
FF 11 = Horrible
AION = Boring… pve fun… pvp… lame.
And my top worst game I’ve ever played award goes to…
Final Fantasy 14…
This game is so bad it makes me want to watch a Cate Blanchett movie and kill myself using a potato skinner, a pair of needlenose pliers and a jackhammer. I hate her and I hated that game.

Star Trek Online space combat was good - sort of reminded me of Starfleet Command (old mmo with a dynaverse ie realm war map that reset once a week). But it was stupid easy to level. I was leveled out in about 2 weeks. And beyond that there was NO content, still isn't.
All the others I've tried had good pve but the pvp was just the same old lopsided 3 minute bg grind.
And whats up with never logging on your NS unless I'm not online?!?!?!

I’m on my ns almost nightly… I just have a lot of chars.. ya gotta understand this is how it goes.
Wrath group – has me on druid.
Burn in He11 has be on – random caster.
Ranger – craft in downtime.
Alb – Either finishing cleric… on my arms.. or duo’ing (laby exploiting) on my necro.
Or crafting on Gaheris.. I mean.. shiznittle.. I have like 400 plat there.. why not craft and LGM random stuff ya know?
Mordred – work on my necro.. yeah I know it’s dead there.. which means I can level alone without having to deal with people.
Or I hope on Mid and rvr on my BD, Warrior, Zerker, or Savage. I need to level my Warlock’s CL to Cl 5 so he’s “completeâ€
So it’s hard to find me.. the best way to find me is to ask anyone in Wrath (Hibernia) if I am on.
I am either in Wrath / Burn in Hell vent… or Eastern Wind vent.. or random vents telling corny 1 liners until I get booted.
edit:
I will sell any of the games I mentioned that I no longer care about if interested :P

Which games I try tends to be a gut thing. Obviously details like whether a game has PvP and how much raiding is involved matter. But mostly it's do the screen shots and videos grab my attention? I actually decided to play DAOC after resisting playing earlier MMOs because a friend showed me screenshots of his paladin wandering around Stonehenge in Salisbury Plains and I thought it looked awesome.
There was a trailer for Prime last week and it just didn't grab me. There were also a few videos of TOR's PvP warzones and those looked really cool. Maybe it's just that the company behind Prime sucks at creating trailers while Bioware rules at it, but there you go.
Plus I'm an original Star Wars fanboi who got hooked on the IP for life after seeing it in theaters back in '77.

Hey, I had one of the original lightsaber toys as a child. You know, the cheesy Ever-ready flashlight with the black slide on cap/finger guards and the plastic tube with colored lens insert.
Then again, I used to watch Space 1999,the original Battlestar Galatica and ofc Star Trek...
Shit, I really AM old.

Hey now! At least all the grey hair I have is above my neckline....for now.
And yeah, I saw Star Wars was the 2nd movie I ever saw in a theatre.
The first was some old crappy Vampire movie.
Geez, that explains a whole lot about me honestly....

So if anybody cares.. here's my perspective on this game.
FYI - I got a Jedi Knight to level 11.
I got a trooper to level 8
Smuggler to level 10
Bounty Hunter to level 6.
I really did NOT enjoy the story of Jedi Knight, but I understand that is because it was so serious. There were no quirks in the storyline, it was very preachy about The Force and honestly.. if I hear 'may the force be with you' again I'll kill a kitten. I understand it is a SW game, but having EVERY quest person end with that line is mental repitition to the max.
I'd say the most fun story line's are the bounty hunter, trooper, and the smuggler.
I didn't really enjoy the Jedi Knight much as it was very close fighting and although I typically enjoy all kinds of chars... I didn't like this one. Maybe it was the outfits or the quests, but I will not roll a Jedi Knight if I decide to get the game.
The controls were decent. Typical of your MMO's. The graphics were decent, and yes I know this is just beta... the intro cinematics were VERY GOOD and felt like a movie.
Combat graphic is kind of lame.. the typical mmo's out there with nothing new.. walk up.. move a stick.. sound effects.. thats it. I did NOT like the display... for example: the exp bar was buggy the entire time.. the commands and what does what had no explanation really, and I am lucky people in /1 chat were good intel instead of like the WoW crowd. I don't see this getting a bunch of 'kids' in this game like WoW.. it actually does require some thought.. the quests aren't point a to point b and it's very open world.. i'd say the quest system is more like FF 11 instead of WoW.

Although I did not get to experience PVP I had friends tell me about it. To explain it easier.. there is open world pvp. Battleground pvp.. and space combat which closely resembles StarFox. If I hear ‘do a barrel roll’ by a friend of mine telling me about it one more time. I’ll kill a second kitten, making sure I carefully utilize the corpse of the first.. kitten.
Rewards are like WoW… exactly.. same as the way to obtain those rewards.
I watched my sisters friend through his screen and it looked like the pvp objectives / battlegrounds that are in Battlefront.. but I really don’t want to make that assumption as I did not like Battlefront at all.
Once the game goes live.. I may roll trooper… or bounty hunter.
And if I don’t like the game.. I’ll do what I mostly do everytime.. sell the account.. and make off with a few hundred bucks in my pocket.

I had already pre-ordered. From what I saw in my limited playing in beta, I will definitely enjoy the game for a few months at least. Perhaps more so if the parts I didn't get to see (PvP, space) are better than expected. The end game looks like your now typical raid grind, so that will likely keep me from sticking around long term.

Space combat is where it’s at. The hard part is this:
Smuggler, Bounty Hunter – fun to play.. but will have weak ships (transport / speed).
Jedi… will have the fun ships for the Republic side.. but will be close range fighters that I don’t like…
Trooper will be heavy arms ships… fun in ship pvp.. and very fun to play… so that’s why I’m honestly going this route (so far) In liv game.
Tho the Bounty Hunter / smuggler is so fun to play in missions and pvp as a player.. not as a ship.
But ship combat is what attracts me.. I loved that arcade game.. star wars trilogy.. I love ship flying games..
Star Fox for life!

Didn't get in on the latest beta.
I did get the mass invite for the stress test. Although, I expect that to yield 1 maybe 2 hours of game play between the slideshow/crashes one expects with stress tests.

Yeah, I expect the stress test to be a slide show... as in Gawaine relic raid, camera pointing at the ground while /stuck to Gothar.
