Star Wars: The Old Republic

Quick question about buying this game:

1. If i set up a VPN to europe can i prepurchase the game through origin?
2. If i buy through Amazon.co.uk, when would be the expected delivery?

Im not heading away this december so this is gonna be consuming most of my time, cant wait!

Not sure if you'll be allowed to buy through amazon.co.uk Don't think they will allow sales of games to SA, but I speak under correction.
 
I redeemed the code, and it says Beta (Event 1), so no idea if it's still valid, or for when it might be. Where do I get the client?? Don't see any links for it. Thanks by the way, didn't know about this!

Star Wars : The Old Republic : BetaCake Plays SWTOR
Thanks to someone who shared his account with me, I’ll be playing SWTOR over the weekend. Review and goodies come afterwards. For starters, there’s an epic screenshot below.

Star Wars : The Old Republic : [Guide] Your 1st Datacron
I came across a Datacron yesterday in Tython and it took me quite a while to finally reach it. At first, I thought it needed some mountain ninja skills but then I realized I should make a little guide for people to make it slightly easier for them to get their first Datacron.

Link

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Datacrons Locations
So the Datacrons locations issue was brought up and I thought I should check if the really old list we had originally posted back in July was still any accurate. Turns out the list is pretty much as accurate as it gets, I used it to locate 7 different Datacrons.

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Eyefinity Screenshots
Today we found something special in our inbox. John, one of the beta testers sent us a bunch of amazing screenshots that represent what it would look like if you played SWTOR with an AMD gfx card and a 3-way Eyefinity setup. Warning, the images are huge, both in resolution and size.

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Beta Weekend Gameplay
My Russian friends over at The-Old-Republic.ru (*waves at his friends*) sent me some footage they recorded over the weekend and I must say, that Jedi Sage is pretty damn good. First comes a PvE video, followed by two awesome PvP videos. Enjoy watching!

Link

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Biochem Info
A SWTOR tester e-mailed me earlier with this very nice article, its basically a small introduction guide to Biochem, one of the crafting professions. Its pretty good, check it out.

Link

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Rancor & Sarlacc PvE
Two really short PvE videos, one against a raging Rancor elite and another one which could easily be renamed to “Do not feed the Sarlacc”. Enjoy!

Link

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Your first Speeder [Republic]
While running around Ord Mantell hunting for datacrons, I came across something really awesome. I found a speeder which glowed like a quest item and promptly came to realize that you can get a glimpse at what riding a speeder feels like really early into the game.

Star Wars : The Old Republic : 2 Ord Mantell Datacrons
Today I decided to post another two “mini-guides” about two new Datacrons i found on Ord Mantell. Like I said the other day, I believe that Bioware lied when they announced they’ll be changing the locations for every Datacron. They haven’t during beta and I doubt they can afford to waste resources for doing so

Star Wars : The Old Republic : Nov 17th Patch Notes
Massive passive released today, my client is currently downloading 12GB of data, I’m assuming there’s another 8 GB after that since they talked about a 20GB patch over all. Patch notes are below, took me quite a while to put them together, so enjoy!

/downloading the client

/twiddles fingers*



For anyone as yet unaware of what "twiddling fingers" means:


Except in a good way :D
 
Thanks Lycanthrope!

Now I remember why having kids = worst thing you could ever do in this lifetime.

Not so sure about that. If I didn't have kids to ground me then I would probably weigh 180kgs, play MMOs 12 hours of every day and have no life. With kids I have half of all of the above PLUS the hope of a granny cottage add on to my rich kid's house one day ;-P

Is there a saviour out there from ZA who could share it for me, please so I can download it locally?

k so now you cant buy the game on amazon.co.uk, they regetting it because of my region...

How do we get this game now, who has successfully bought the game in sa?
 
Played in the Beta weekend this last weekend!

I had the chance to play in the open Beta this last weekend (it was opened to everyone who applied to beta-test through their forum). It was thanksgiving in the States so the beta lasted 4 days!

I must say that I was very impressed with the game-play and story. I couldn't stand WOW and dumped it after 2 months. This I might actually play for a while.

The best thing about the game is that there is a definite story for each character. So you have a reason to play and progress. It's almost like 8 single player games set in a MMO environment.

I only got to lvl 14 by last night so don't have any idea how the mid/end game content works.

I will definitely be buying this when it gets released here.

Loads of Discussion about this on the ToR Forums. So far SA has not been brought up but other countries also not in the previous launch regions have discussed this at length. It seem we cannot pre-order but on release date you can buy a normal key from the origin store.

Hopefully this works. My plan B involves my EVE corp CEO buying it in Amsterdam and sending me the key. :P
