I have the physical retail discs, and want to know how much more I have to download in terms of patches/extra content. So, how big is the base game? How many patches/dlc's have been released? Is there anything that auto-downloads when you install? I ask this question because I have a measly monthly internet usage cap, and downloading TOR would probably blow half the month's usage (hence me obtaining the physical discs). I need to know of any extra downloads to plan my cap usage accordingly.

I think it'd be useful if we could share tips on the various classes, like strategies to defeat bosses or a big mob, builds for PvE or PvP, picking the right companion and other useful things. I recently begun my first alt character, a Jedi Guardian, with the goal of making him a Tank. Already it seems this class is going to be much harder than the Mercenary has been, so I wouldn't mind anything you people can share about the Guardian so I can adjust my strategy and build accordingly.

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Continues Meteoric Rise in Becoming the Latest Online Phenomenon I find it interesting how these press releases have an about section for Lucasfilm instead of LucasArts. In any event, only time will tell as far as BioWare retaining their 1.7 million TOR subscribers or even growing their subscriber base. I know I'm planning on subbing for a year, possibly longer.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Jumps to Light Speed Hmmm.... I'm sure the person that wrote the title for this release wasn't trying to rub it in SWG's face or anything.

December 20, 2011 06:00 AM Eastern Time EA, BioWare and LucasArts Usher in a Force in Online Games as Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Goes Live Today So I'm just a wee bit late in posting this one. I blame it on the fact that on December 20 I was already engrossed with playing this game and couldn't be bothered with paying attention to trivial things like press releases.

Sith'ari "Born of War, Honed in Combat, Forged in Fire...We are the Sith'ari" 　 Information: Guild: Sith'ari Website: Sith'ari Website Alignment: Sith faction based Guild Leaders/founders: Ronan Dexx-Dark Lord of the Sith, Rage Kain-Dark Lord Looking for: Mature, hard working and active members Region: Primarily United States based Server: US PVP Guild game focus: PvP / PvE / RP / Raids Recruiting Status: Open Guild Communications: Voice server, xfire, chat, forums Introduction: Who we are: The Sith'ari is a Sith faction based SWTOR guild founded by the Sith Lord Ronan Dexx and his apprentice Rage Kain. The Sith'ari is one of the most organized and reputable guilds around, and we are forever striving to better ourselves. Go to our site at Sith'ari website, and you shall see that we speak the truth. M for Mature: We do not have a set age limit, but maturity is a MUST. We aren't rated E for everyone, and there are no censors on topics or discussions, though we keep it within reason. It does not matter to us what your age is, just that you can converse intelligently and have a respectable level of maturity. Region: We are a primarily United States based guild, and all of our events and times will be posted in that variance of time zones. If you live in another area you must be able to speak fluent English and have a very flexible time schedule, so that we will not have members only available when others are not. About/Guild Information Our name/Philosophy: Our name has meaning, it is not just a jumble of words hastily thrown together, it is what we are and what our goal is. The Sith'ari was the perfect being, but he was not just born a zealot, a product of all the sith teachings, he was forged in the fires and honed by the struggles of what was necessary to become a true Sith. In a way, this is what we strive to do. We endeavor to better ourselves, to increase our knowledge, and to become absolute perfection. We are hard workers, and only the best survive. The Sith must remain strong, and the weak will be...left behind. What we are looking for: The Sith'ari is looking for mature players who are interested in working with a Sith faction based organized guild. We accept any Sith characters, including bounty hunters and agents. Do not worry, you are all welcome here. We cannot do it all alone, we need agents to be our eyes and ears on the battlefield, and the bounty hunters to be our gauntlet and destroy our targets. All members have the potential to climb the ranks, but you must prove yourself sufficiently in order to gain status. *Mature and dedicated members *Loyal and humorous mindset *Willingness to learn and to better oneself *Hard working and responsible mentality *Past MMO experience Preferred Activity Policy: All members must absolutely be active weekly, which involves posting in the forum, talking on the chat room, etc. This is vital to our guild, and lurkers will be removed. If you are to be away for an extended period of time, you must inform your immediate superiors of how long and when you expect to return. Special accommodations will be made for those serving in the military overseas. This is such an important part of a guild, even if you claim to be the best of the best, if you do not have any active members, your guild will die. This is crucial, and lurking is strictly not tolerated. We are strict, but fair. And remember, above all our intent is to have fun! Community: Our members are geared towards the "hardcore" level of gaming experience and mind set, though our members are interested in all types of the MMO experience (Example: Player Vs Player, Crafting, Roleplaying). We focus on our community, specifically our members. Keep in contact as often as you can, daily if possible even if it is only for a few minutes. Keep up to date with the guild, as we are constantly being updated and expanded, so even an absence of a few days means that you may become lost in what we are discussing and other going ons of the guild. Get to know your fellow brothers, and help them become elite gamers. A member will not be shunned or removed because he/she is lacking in an area, they will be helped along and taught how to better and improve themselves, but you must show a willingness to learn. We may not have the massive numbers of these so called "pro" guilds, but our strength is in our experience, knowledge, and passion for the fight. And remember, we are ALL important to the guild, from the newest members to the experienced Dark Councilors, it takes more than a few to make a great guild. What it takes to be a member- Similar Ideals: Our ideals are of the Sith, and all attached philosophies and beliefs. We do not necessarily expect our non-sith characters (agents/bounty hunters) to know our deepest philosophies and knowledge, but we expect you to have a basis of what to expect and material. We DO expect Sith oriented characters (Warriors/Inquisitors) to have an above average knowledge and understanding of beliefs and lore, including that not only of the Sith but of the force and the dark side. Loyalty: One of the most important qualities we look for in our members is loyalty. It is extremely important to maintain a high level of loyalty to the community you are a part of and have helped to grow and progress. Too many guilds have failed because the members were divided into separate factions or groups. Your loyalty is to each other, and to the guild as a whole, not any individual member. Training: Every person has something that they can learn; something they can improve upon. The leaders are no exception, and neither are new members, no matter what your experience level is. Do not spurn an offer that could help you reach you maximum potential, it is important that you want to be the best you can be. Those new to the sith ways will be tutored under the watchful eye of a master, and you will be their apprentice until they see you as being fit for advancement. Apprentices with high ranking masters will not be allowed to skip ranks, there is a chain of command and it will be followed to the letter. Team Work/ Organization: Team work is essential, as is organization. If you are going to be a part of a raid, PVP competition, or something similar, then you must be prepared for it and you must attend. If another team member suggests something that could improve your battle strategy, do not immediately dismiss or blow off your comrade's idea. We are all brothers here, so we must all get along and at the very least be civil to each other. Structure: Advancement Hopefulls/ Recruits- you will be required to take an inital test to get into the site... If your accepted, your membership is on a trial basis only... You have two weeks to prove yourself. After you are accepted on your trial membership you will be required to take the "full membership test" and post it within the "new recruits section" of our forum. It will be on display so the whole community can view it. During your two week trial period you should be active and get to know everyone. Post in our forums and chat it up with our community members. Once the game is released you should also run instances and party up with some of our members to show them what you know. Having fun is the name of the game... And we like FUN in our community. After your trial period is over, a poll will be posted so that it can be voted on wether you are accepted as a full member and placed... or if your are denied membership and dicharged from the guild. The main thing we are looking for is knowledgeable people, who are fun to hang around, who are mature, and knows how to play MMO's in groups. We are not looking for trouble makers, immature people, Ninja looters, lazy people, or in active people... You have to stay ACTIVE in this guild. Standards for excellence : 1. Leadership- Our leaders are the most active, experienced members in the guild. Our leadership are hands on battle hardened people, and they are the very best we have to offer. Those at the top are the best, period. We are the managers, the guiders, and the strongest. 2. Structure- Our Structure is one of the best, most thought out, and functional systems around. It is the culmination of years of MMO experience and several weeks of intensive work and planning, and is designed to be above all else efficient. The ranks are not merely a symbol or a sign, they have their own responsibilities and duties assigned to them. We have made sure that this is nearly foolproof. 3. Activity- Staying active and communicating with the community is essential to the function of this guild. Keep up to date with the going ons of the guild, and stay active and post in the forums and in the chat room. This is necessary in order to prevent the stagnation of our guild, and will only make us stronger. 4. Training- Constant retraining and rethinking of strategies keep us ahead of the game. And ensures that everyone stays on the same page...Training is key to becoming better Sith and better individuals. Being good at what we do is not enough, we have to be the BEST. 5. Community- Always striving to take care of our own we aim to keep our members happy, focused, and experienced for the coming battles. The community is the most important aspect of a guild, and we are proud to say that we take care of our members well. As long as you work hard, and be the best you can be, you will have a great time with us. What are you waiting for? You have seen what our guild is and has to offer. Think you have what it takes? Visit our site, Look at our structure and polices and if you still feel like you want to be a part of something MORE... Enlist! http://thesithari.guildpower.com/home

Source: Electronic Arts Website One thing is for sure, EA is a lot quicker at posting press releases on their website than LucasArts. LucasArts hasn't posted a press release on their website since the Monkey Island 2 Special Edition announcement back on 2010-03-10.

This may belong in the TOR forum, but since this is a pissing on of the very core of KotOR, i believe it belongs here. (also viewable on the TOR Timeline) That's it. Theyve completely sullied the character of Revan with this pathetic backstory. His unusual motives for turning to the dark side was one of the best illustrations of his unique character; now theyve just made him another stupid sith rebelling against their master. (and, in the process, once again completely ignoring TSL's existence) I was losing interest in this game before, now i really doubt ill even bother with it. At least theres the .15% chance that they'll pick up the series again and give us a proper sprpg sequel.

I'm somewhat against paying $$$ a month. I'm wondering if they will have a free version. I'm an avid KOTOR fan and this looks great though. Give me your thoughts.

Link Finally, BioWare reveals more information on the actual role-playing elements in TOR, specifically, the mention of a unique storyline for every class. While I have doubts that they will deliver something like that, the idea does sound promising. I really hate when they talk about "a story with choices and consequences". I mean, really, that's to be expected in every RPG, so why are they talking about it like it's an original idea? I swear, they're really trying to make this seem "revolutionary" by just talking about how "unique" it will be. IMO, they're setting themselves up nicely for this thing to backfire on them.

The quick alternative to lengthy food prep and the staple diet of many a swamped college student, Instant Noodles are cheap, void of any nutritional value, and (generally) loaded with sodium. Which is exactly why we love them. (throw in some good ol' brain-warping MSG for good measure) What are your favorite brands and flavors of instant noodle? Or perhaps you don't like them? Maybe you'll stock up for TOR? (noodles are perfect for MMOs) My personal favorite is IndoMie's Instant Mi Goreng. That stuff is flipping legend and kicks the snot out of those pathetic 'normal' noodles. ('chicken flavor' etc) They come in at least 10 different flavors and in various packs (single, 5 pack, and 30 pack ) 'Mi Goreng' is Indonesian for "fried noodles", so even though restaurants have dishes listed as 'mi goreng', asking for 'mi goreng' is like going to McDonalds and asking for 'burger'. 'Mi Goreng' is Indonesian and 'Mee Goreng' is Malaysian.... (or have i got it the other way around-?) These particular noodles have a growing reputation and a fan base (check your social networking site), with it being sold in many countries including Australia, Canada, the UK, Indonesia (duh), Malaysia, The Middle East, New Zealand, Singapore and the US. For a complete list of countries, check out it's Wiki Perhaps you've tried it but dont know what its called, so here's a reference for you: [edit] New question: how many packs/cups of your noodle of choice do you have in one sitting?

TOR is taking place in a war... Do you think players would affect the outcome of the entire war? Wield positions of power? And would there be a possibility of it becoming canon? With them making the choices having real consequences, perhaps they could make the story 'un-abusable', you know, the same way they'll stop nutters running around with L337Sp34K names. It would make the game so much more spine tinglingly, brain zappingly, pupil-dilatingly, immersive! [edit] (<-- a statement used to be here that misrepresented the thread's topic. my mistake.) And IMO that, would be plain outragafantasmafically, Awesome. [edit]what i mean is "what do you think of the devs making it so that eventual outcome of the game that will be published be affected in any way by the players. and it becoming canon?"

Its been years waiting for the announcement and now it has come. After all this, what is your take on the current situation? How many share the your opinion? The poll can be simplified by combining the top three and bottom three options and their stats to get a basic result: How many like or dislike it. The middle option is a category of it's own.
