The Basics of Star Wars: The Old Republic
(From http://pc.ign.com/articles/117/1176273p1.html)
What's the Story? Star Wars: The Old Republic is set more than 3,000 years before the rise of Darth Vader. The Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire have been at war, during which the Empire was able to seize control of a number of Republic star systems. Though a peace treaty has been signed, it appears the two sides are headed for another war.
What Classes Are There? Players in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be able to play as one of eight character classes, four on the Republic side and four on the Sith side. Each character class has its own weapons, companion characters, and specializations. Details on the character classes appear below.

What's the Multiplayer Like? There are a number of different aspects to the multiplayer in Star Wars: The Old Republic. There are flashpoints (http://pc.ign.com/articles/116/1167960p1.html) where four players cooperatively tackle a mission, large-scale Operations where multiple groups of players take on a massive enemy and PvP (http://pc.ign.com/articles/116/1166154p1.html).
Do I Have to Play With Other People? Not necessarily. Bioware has said that the majority of gameplay related to the story in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be able to be completed solo, though it will be necessary to interact with other players by buying and selling goods, encountering them in public areas, and competing with them for kills.
How Much Will It Cost? No pricing structure for Star Wars: The Old Republic has been announced yet, though it's likely to have a subscription model.
When's It Coming Out? We have yet to hear a release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Boxed vs OriginQ: Will we be able to buy TOR retail without having to deal with Origin? IE will the retail box essentially be a code for the game which will then have to be activated on Origin or will we be able to completely bypass that system?
Stephen Reid | Senior Online Community Manager: Yes, you will be able to buy a boxed copy of The Old Republic at retail, and you will add the key for the game here on the official website.
Q: Will we have to install Origin and run it in order to play the game, get updates, etc. even if we purchase a boxed copy?
Stephen Reid: No, you won't.
While Origin will be the exclusive digital retailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic (in other words, if you want to buy it online and download it, you’ll do so through Origin) that does not mean that Origin is required for you to access or play The Old Republic.
Origin is a digital storefront, and the desktop application is there to give you quick access to Origin exclusives and deals.
However, you won’t need to launch the Origin application to run The Old Republic, nor will you patch the game via Origin. Once the game is on your hard disk, you’ll be connecting to our servers to patch and launch the game, and Origin does not have to be running to do that.
To answer another question - boxed versions of the game will include the client on DVD(s).
Finally after all this time it has now gone pre order. Yayay

Yeah I saw that then I got a email from Amazon saying the pre order I put in was not valid due to a catalouge change and cancelled my order. So now instead of paying £24.93 for the game I now have to pay £39.99 was most ****ed off and when contacted them they really could give 2 poos
After a email I sent yesterday Amazon have turned around and given me a discount code to take to the orginal price. Amazon stocks have risen in my eyes : )
Well I am all signed up for the prerelase stress test anyone else?
Aye i did...pre-orderd
Sweet baby zombie Jesus its expensive!
I don't think I can justify shelling out that much and then paying a subscription.

I have this on Pre order, its been a long time since I pld with an mmo but been waiting on this a while.
Quote from: BrotherTobious;329247Well I am all signed up for the prerelase stress test anyone else?
Yup pre ordered... Just waiting for my beta key to arrive in the email box .
Did you get yours straight after you ordered?
No naldo it took a little while. Tut agreed it expensive that's why I threw a paddy and amazon gave me money off.
This is I feel is going to be the last mmorpg I am going to try.
£35 plus a subscription is a bit steep.
However I love the starwars saga and KOTOR was awesome!
Not sure if this is worth it.. How many people will we have playing?
http://www.swtor.com/guilds
Here you can create your own Guild if you want!
Looking at it, it seems we get our website with forums on public and private, If we sign up it will be put on to a server of thier choosing from reading it. I think it might be something to look into, see how many players we have etc. What fraction and whether we PvE, PvP, RP etc.
i would say PvE just like we now have in WoW.

Quote from: Michelanio;329540:withstupid:
What he said. As for dark or light side, that will depend on where some of my RL friends will go (quite a few i know also plan on playing this)
PvE gets my vote to used to play WoW like that.
If you choose Light I will disown you all.
I say Dark side.:)
