I never noticed lag on any of the planets in SWTOR. Sorry. I love Hoth!

well maybe its because of the fact that my computer had a processor that 5 years old. My current laptop works pretty well but for some reason it seems to lag like crazy at some points (were talking ms in the THOUSANDS). Although, I tend to get crazy lag spikes on sunday nights and haven't played the game other than on a sunday but STILL.

Yeah, that's not your comp or the game. That's the joy of campus life! lol

10pm on a sunday night? thats everybody scrambling to do the work that they neglected to do all weekend long

I have a new motherboard so I have no issues with KOTOR anymore
Do you guys know if The Republic is free to play yet?

From the SWTOR site:

For more information on all of the rewards you could potentially receive, visit www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com/FREE.

So in 4 days

Yay Well after I am bored of AC3, Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 I will get around to playing it

the best part about the free to play option is that they are letting you access the BEST part of the game for FREE and making you pay for the crappy part of it, kind of feel sorry for them but not really

Well, I would rather not spend $15 a week/month on it :/

if they made you spend $15 a week they would be down to 0 subs from the several hundred thousand that they are at. All I was saying was that usually you have to pay for the best part of a game, not get it given to you for free.

I understand that.

Can't believe that this game has barely been out a year and there is already an expansion being released later this year. Definitely debating pre-ordering it, get 5 days early access AND it'll be cheaper.

Finally downloaded this game, stuck naming my Sith Warrior. HELP!

I try to name all of my characters after metal musicians/demons, gods, or the like from religious lore. What server are you playing on?

I really wish I didn't sell my gaming rig lol

This new event is insane, so much butthurt over the PvP, I personally don't agree with the people from the same faction killing others, I'm a bit of a sucker for Imperial allegiance, but still, seeing everyone cry is insane

I don't even know what my server is, I just know that I am on Korriban doing Sith Quests.

Came up with Akari Eleanor for my Sith Warrior, and because I love mustangs

you should change to The Shadowlands and remake your character, we can level up together then, I have another Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor there that I have barely touched.

But I like my current one >_< are the servers all similar, just having different names? Or are some PVE but no storyline? I have no clue as I have only played KOTOR before this.

they sort of are but you have some PvE (Player versus Environment)--basically doing operatives (high level missions that require 8-16 players working as a team to complete them), some PvP (Player versus Player), some RP (Roleplaying), and then you have the RPPVP (Roleplaying AND Player versus Player) servers. They all have different rules but the quests are exactly the same.

Ah I see, I knew PVP and PVE, just not the other two. If you want to join me gaming on SWTOR later, add me: Akari-Eleanor.

You on the Shadowlands Server?

Nope, I have no idea what server it is, it never tells me.

We can only play together if we're on the same server, it should tell you at the top of your character selection screen

Ah I see, I shall find out tomorrow. Finished all Korriban starter missions and now I am at the next part
