    Ah, well that's a screw-up on their part mate. You should've either got a game case containing your preorder code or it should've been printed on the receipt when you paid the €5/€20 deposit depending on whether you bought a regular edition or a collectors edition. You did have to pay a deposit right?

    Seriously excited. So glad that I stopped playing WOW 8 or so months ago and completely ignored anything to do with swtor. I didnt even know this game existed tbh! If I'd have known I'd be waiting a loooooong time raging at the time I've spent waiting. :pac:

    But that time spent waiting makes it even more exciting :)

    And makes the crushing disappointment all the more worse when it fails to match out expectations :pac:

    But will it be crushingly disappointing ? does it have that "bleh" feeling ?

    Beta lived up to my expectations, so I'm not holding out for crushing. =p

    It didn't live up to 100% of my expectations but frankly unless it had a five-hundred million dollar budget, Luceno and Stover supervising the writing team and BioWare and Mythic's best doing beyond their best possible work for the entire five years then it probably never was. :o

    What we did get was a fantastically polished end product which makes excellent use of the IP to create a very enjoyable game which most players will fall straight into without issues. There are some aspects of class balance which need work but I very much doubt anyone is up for "crushing disappointment".

    At level10, you need to choose a surname basically. That name will be used for all future alts on the same server. I think you can get Legacy xp as well, with certain benefits to your characters. As suggested on another forum, if i was in on day 1, i'd definitely have a Smuggler names Malcom, and then select the Legacy name or Reynolds.

    With the Captain title :P

    James Kirk would also work...

    Indeed. Here's the text of the mail:
    Early Game Access* will begin on December 13th at 7:00AM EST, 2011 and ends on December 19th, 2011 at 10:01PM EST. During this time, we will be emailing invitations to join Early Game Access based on the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code. Pre-load the game client now, so you're ready to play when your Early Game Access invitation arrives. Note that download time can vary and may take awhile.

    Log in, then go here and on the right go to 'Pre-Order' and stick the code in.

    [edit] It may be under the 'code redemption' rather than 'pre order' can't remember.

    They did, he probably thought his email was his entry time. the 13th is when the early access starts if you read the email you will see that does not mean you are guaranteed in on the 13th.

    It's not level 10, it's at the end of Act 1, so when you finish your class quests on Tatooine and Alderaan. (which will be the 5th and 6th planets respectively) Should be at about level 30.

    I'll be going with "Kanet", as it's surname for Main character (Lol, I r RPfag)

    I'm torn on the legacy surname to be honest. On the one side 3 of my 4 Republic characters all have the same surname and therefore it's very handy to be able to grab it if I can. On the other hand I wish you'd just been able to give a unique surname to each character, being able to reuse ones you've already chosen before.

    I don't know what I'm going to play. So many fun choices and not damage meters to determine the be all spec (I kinda like this).

    I was thinking something ranged since I always play melee and am a little bored of it. BH Merc looks good. Tried Imp Agent Sniper in beta but wasn't sure on cover system.

    I'm not sure of the claims that all dps specs are pave viable. Concealment spec stands out as one that wouldn't be viable though there is only pvp footage on YouTube. Infact swtor class forums is all pvp talk. I didn't realise pvp is so popular now

    Each Advanmced class has at least 2 DPS Specs, I think one is generally more PvP oriented.

    Maybe I'll just go melee to be safe. I know how to tank and dps. Could go juggernaut, maurader or assassin.

    Assassin seems cool as it looks like a feral Druid broke down into separate bear/kitty trees. Also I loved stealth when playing a rogue in wow

    Sweet, my beta client seems to be a 15mb file away from playable :)

    So whats up with duel specs?

    How will ATT function in the first few days of this? When I log in for the first time I wanna know what server I should be on etc - I REALLY dont want to have to start again on another server :s

    <edit>Download complete, robot noises made so I'm ready to log in :]</edit>

    Dual-specs are expected to make an appearance after launch but won't be there right away, same as the system to replace chest matching.
