Star Wars: The Old Republic

Has anyone gotten to lvl 50 yet? And if so, how does the endgame look? Really interested to see how the raids will be done :0
 
My CE will now only be delivered tomorrow for some BS reason it only after the last delivery driver already left today. I am really not impressed with UPS SA and Customs. How can it take 2 days to get to SA but 5 days to deliver it to me??
 
I'm currently on the Arkanian legacy if anyone wants to mess around there. Will prob join a South African guild when the servers balance themselves out.
 
Guys, I am still on the fence to get this. I have left WoW completely but, still dunno if it is worth it. Looks A LOT like wow in space. Playing guildwars again atm and loving it.

So what im asking is, what makes the game good for you?
 
Here is what stands out from SWTOR vs WoW for me:

1. Story: every quest has one and is told to you with voice acting. Ever play Mass Effect? ME2? DAO? Every quest has options on how you take it, what you say. Some have consequences for the quest, some options have consequences for your alignment (light/dark side of the force) and some piss off your companion (perma pet) and make it perform worse/better.

2. Crafting: a very interesting twist on crafting: you can send your companions off to craft/resource gather while you quest yourself.

3. You get your own space ship ;-)

4. It is Star Wars! Sci fi! No more fantasy!

Haha nice, I saw some space battles with the space ship, seemed very nice. Also, is the quest/story actually up to par with ME2? Cause if it is, I just got very happy. ME2 is the best game i have ever played!

How are you lads managing to get accounts from the UK?

The game is not region locked so as long as you could get the game you can play.

Lots of SA guys ordered from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk, others got keys from place like get2play.

Still waiting on my CE and ofcourse UPS SA refuses to answer why I haven't received mine yet while others I know have.
 
Anyone here or nearby George that have the client perhaps? I am from Cape Town but on holiday here and with a 384 line it can take a while :)

PM me if you are please.

Was released by customs yesterday already. Customs sat on it for saturday and sunday. But others who received their CE's that I know also only had their copies released by customs yesterday. So if they could receives their copies, some did yesterday then its only logical that I should have gotten mine this afternoon at the latest, also the delivery schedule according to the online tracking was latest by business today.

It doesn't take 2 days to get a CE 100 km's from Joburg to pretoria. The courier company my employer uses delivers all joburg and pretoria packages within a day and they are much smaller then UPS.

So I am sorry but this is not good service. Amazon did everything they could to get the game to me by launch, UPS US and European got it here within 2 days of shipping but between them customs SA and UPS SA can't manage the last 100km's in 4 days. Give me a break.
 
www.g2play.net ... about 500 bucks and 10 mins later your in the game. They have retail versions but sell them as digital so they mail you the picture of the key. Just a slight note. Even though the game comes with 30 days game time you still have to get an active sub for the game to activate. Suppose you can sub then cancel it to get your 30 free days time. Meh.

Edit. If someone in johannesburg needs the game ill be at northgate in the afternoon. You can PM me and ill bring along a copy on my netbook.
 
My folder is 20.5 gig but I played the 2 beta weekends.

In a further update concerning my CE they have promised to deliver it today, still refusing to answer why it has taken so long. They are mistaken if they think I am just going to let it go without an explanation...
 
Finally got my CE, still hassles someone wrote pieter on the box so I had to convince the courier guys its my package. Atleast my game code was fine.:)
