So this launches soon and we seem to have a lot of potential players, how about we try to drop some toons into the same server? It would be nice to have a SimHQ guild, but I think with all the different playstyles, we may have to leave it for alts. If anyone is getting in on the prelaunch, post where you will be. I plan on going pve myself. I like pvp, but the Republic is gonna get brutalized by all the kids playing Imperial on pvp.

I've played the Beta but sadly do not feel the need to play further. Unlike Mass Effect which I couldn't put down until I finished.

Any idea if this game will be subscription? Or just buy the game and free-to-play on the server?

Ah, I'm out then. Don't like the idea of a "countdown" over my head, especially after buying the game already.

I have come to the conclusion that generally speaking the best PvPers tend to gravitate toward the "evil" side of games.

I have typically been on the good side. At least for the 2 games I have put the most time in, swg and wow.

For TOR I am going dark side because I aspire to be on the winning team for pvp.

PvE is fun but I grow bored of it after a while. I plan on gearing for pvp from the beginning, not at the end in a desperate attempt to stay interested in a game like I have in the past.

I can do either PvP or PvE. I will be on both. I have TS and Vent also.

One great thing I noticed. After talking to another beta tester at my work, we found out that we played 3 very different story lines in the Flashpoint Black Talon instance. Who knows how many other story lines are just in this one flashpoint. One instance were we killed the Captain of the Black Talon threw the whole story in another direction then when we went back and let him live. This game continues to amaze me how much depth they have put into all the story lines.

I also had to actually spend money and buy a new mouse for when it comes out.

PvP is fun (when yer not being chain-ganked), but its gonna be 3-1 darkside I figure, so I wanted to go Republic to avoid all the starting areas from being swarmed by Darth this and so-and-so Fett. Kinda funny when you think about it. SW is set up so everyone wants to be the bad guy. All the kids (and adult) costumes are Vader, Maul, Fett and Stormtroopers (and slavegirl Leia). Heck my planned republic trooper is a pre-stormtrooper.
