Been selected for beta testing
Downloading it now, is the BM guild still going to happen?
To be honest mate, I couldn't get the interest together.
I've played the beta and I absolutely adore this game. It's a cross between Mass Effect, WoW and KOTOR, which I believe makes it absolutely perfect.
Those who are expecting a revolution in MMO gameplay are going to be disappointed. If you have played the above three titles, all of the mechanics will be instantly familiar to you but will still feel new/shiny.
However, the Light/Dark side options and especially the fully voiced quests that change the world around you are great, and the PvP is incredibly challenging and rewarding. Flashpoints are fun and engaging, and the quests encourage you to group with others which is great. I only played the beta for a few days and have already picked up a couple of people on the server who are great to game with and a laugh to be around. Although the game can be solo'ed through if you like, you will find yourself gravitating towards grouping.
I preordered this game the day that it was announced and spent £150 on the Collectors Edition. It's by far the most that I have ever spent on a single game, even if you include WoW and its expansions. I am honestly not disappointed and cannot wait to play it.
There are a couple of tiny bad points. The age ranges of the players is massive, so you seem to have conversations about how Star Wars used Arthurian symbology to further its lore on the one minute, then the next one somebody is calling you a "fkin n00b" becaue you asked where the spaceport was. This just seems to be the way with this genre of game though, so you take the rough with the smooth; it seems an older crowd than you find in WoW generally.
I couldn't get the guild off of the ground, but if we try to arrange which server we will all play on, then we can see what numbers we get and may start again. I think I bumped ElanJo up to leader before I left.
