What's the word on the game?
Is it worth getting?
Is it a wow killer?

I might start playing Bonder Crystal. The qeues on Fatmen are ridiculous. It's easily the most populated server.

Very solo oriented so far, but the time they put into the quest scenes is very nice. EQ is still running so it will not kill WoW, but it will take a bite out of it, how long it lasts depends on endgame contentet, WoW xpacks take too long to come out.

speedtest.net

I screenshot every time I do one, and just told them I had 2 months of subpar internet performance after they came out and "fixed it once". Ask to talk to a manager. I told him since I was paying for 12mbps and only getting 6 for 2 months that my next two months I should be charged for 6mbps. Saved me enough to make a month free in the end.

almost all servers are showing Q's right now, if they don't get this fixed by release there will be a lot of people that will not pay past the initial sub.

I'm on Bondar Crystal. Loving the game so far. Can't decide which side I'm more partial to, I love the lore on each.

Bioware is the tits.

No queues and Bonder seems pretty populated so far.

Yes, very solo oriented as of now but the quest really put you into the middle of it. Usually I just grind things out to lvl and start PvPing but with this, actually enjoying the all the quest.

Thanks for some nooby tips on how to use the chat channel Dourden. I am so used to TF2 and CoX, this interface is new to me.

Also, anyone heard of some in game currency sites starting up yet?

I'm ready to start spending RL money on this game.

Your ISP is selling you what they will deliver as a maximum pipeline. It's still dependant on the other side and if the content provider is throttling their output you are never going to see the numbers that your ISP is selling.

Exactly.

Your ISP sells you numbers based on speedtest from inside their own network. They are not selling you real world conditions.

I have the 100mbps package from Charter but run around 70-75 with a terrible ping around 38.

Really disappointing.

mysupersales is usually on top of new games, but I haven't been to the site in a couple of years.

I'll add you. I'm Rockyn. Have an Empire guy named Laroche but I get tired of being a dick with the dark side decisions. And if I go light side as a Sith I'm just a pussy and feel dumb.

I hope Sith doesn't turn into Horde. I would like to see some balance for once. Of course since it's so PVE-driven it may not really matter if a side's overpopulated.

I love the amount of work that went into the quest cutscenes. I know a lot of the dialogue decisions don't even end up mattering, but it's cool to at least have the option with respect to how you treat an NPC. Bioware has the art of the NPC interaction thing down.

I love the game so far but fatmans queues are crazy. I waited 3 hours last night. I'm level 21 so I dont really want to reroll but I might and go to one of the other servers you guys are on. I want a pvp server though.

Oh and I've seen at least two people on fatman screaming tigerdroppings in general chat.

Yeah I'm Empire on fatman. I just spent a ton of time leveling up my weaponsmith and scavenging but the queue is really bad. I hope they raise the cap or offer server transfers.
