1. I thought Beta would begin end of March

2. Not sure Collector's edition goodies are worth it. Guess it depends on price. Edit: $150. Yeah. I"m going with not worth it. Standard edition for me.

Reading the descriptions of these, they are only temporary...save the combat pet (mistfire wolf). I have to think it will not be very powerful. I'm still going with "not worth the money" for the collector's edition. grin

Well obviously the collector's edition is stupid. There's nothing in the collector's edition that isn't in the digital deluxe unless you like to clutter up your house with video game paraphenalia.

Digital deluxe costs 20 bucks more and gives you all the in-game goodies. My rule of thumb with those things is that if they give you a mount early (like rift did) it's usually worth it, if not it isn't.

edit: The pet elite skill will have to be crap or else they'll be breaking their own "don't be evil" pledge.

lol I think I'll just get the standard edition. That other crap would probably last 3 or 4 weeks until I threw it away

The goodies in the digital deluxe are thankfully not very good. If you look at them there's some single use potions, a 5-day duration personal banker and then the elite skill. The elite skill is the only thing that is persistent. You can only have two elite skills equipped IIRC and I doubt it'll be anything worth equipping once you have other skills.

I have to agree. I barely used them in RIFT and ended up throwing half away. Standard edition gives me what I really will likely want. Beta access and head start if I eventually play. happy

Well, sort of. You can buy each seperately for $5 in colors that don't match or both together in a same-color set for $15.

Late may or September. This pre-order date is suggestive of a launch more in september, rather than this spring... TOR had pre-orders up for 4 months before release.

Also, Elo, what happened to your raging hardon for TOR? Jumping ship already?

Someone posted over on official boards that Amazon Europe and other sites have posted a June 30th release date. That seems tight to me though if they only starting Beta now.

Given June 30th is a Saturday, I don't believe that is an official date. grin
