No gaurantees, but if you want a shot at participating, now would be a good time to sign up. ;)

Yeah! :rotfl2:
Figures. :)

Should be working now, bit of hit-or-miss and very slow, though.

It's one of my most anticipated game. But can it be played in single player mode? My connection is only good during morning to noon excluding weekend :shifty:

No, it's an MMO, not a normal RPG like the Kotor games.

Hmm I still plan on getting it.

How fast is the internet requirement?

Actually, Yes.

Most of the game can be played offline, with the exception of a few quests which require the MMO element.

Hmm, really? But I suppose it won't be as fun playing an MMO without the multiplayer part...

On a side note: KOTOR 2 Is Finally Finished (http://kotaku.com/5370864/kotor-2-is-finally-finished)

Still open beta though, but playable non the less.

Eh, they beat TSLRP to it? I'll have to try it at some point.

Thanks read that yesterday too.

I can play ETW with the Australians without problem and no lag. However it's massively multiplayer game so I imagine that my speed bandwidth of mere 512kbps would be hard strained:shifty:

More info is starting to trickle out. Meet the Imperial Agent (http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/imperial-agent).

Might be some other interesting stuff on the site. :hmmm:

Why on earth would anyone pick an agent or an smuggler? :hmmm:

Sounds sneaky, just the class for me. :lol:

Don't know why, but I always end up playing a rogue-like character, in any RPG. Maybe because it's a type that requires more tactics. :hmmm:

After the SWG debacle, many player are literally fed up with Jedi =P
And more importantly, "Han shot first!".. Nuff said. :D
