    I go to their official website and get this:

    "SWTOR.com is currently unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance. Please check back again soon!"

    Man, if they can't schedule maintenance at a worse time.

    haha yea, epic fail on that one :rofl:

    Course it requires a DXDiag file that I can't generate unless I am at home. I will have to save one in my e-mail so I can do beta signups anywhere!11 :lol:

    I finally got through it somehow.. I'm not sure why they dont just allow you to up your DX Diag like everyone else, it essentially grabbed the same information.

    This does not bode well. :lol:

    I have forgone signing up for beta at this time. I also saw Sentrosi's FB video of the game and really felt like it is just more of the same. It made me think of WoW in Space mixed with Baldur's Gate.

    Although it looked pretty and had some storyline impact decisions, I just can't get past the fact it looked and felt like WoW.

    They even crowed about the "phat lewtz". Sorry about the cynicism...

    Yea I don't have high hopes really. They are trying to do some new things like voice quest dialogs and stuff which is cool.

    But in the end it's likely the same. I will try it for free though :brow:

    Here in lies the problem with me. I'm building this game up to be the equivalent of my 8yr old kid inside watching Star Wars for the first time. And then once I get into the game, it becomes nothing but Episode 2. I'm hoping it's a great game and is a nice transition game into Planetside2. But my main concern is that I won't have a lot of my friends, both here and on Facebook, along with me for the ride. And then that's where I will have to draw the line and not play the game anymore. Playing an MMO without friends is like playing it in Single Player mode.

    :lol:

    The thing that this game has going for it that sets it aside from WoW is the character driven gameplay in an MMO. Your play affects how your character progresses. Cap that off with the real time voice dialog and not reading 300 quest dialogs a night this could be pretty cool. From the videos I have seen it appears also that you don't need 30 people to run "Missions" so to speak you can roll with just a couple - another bonus.

    The interface looks very similar to your cookie cutter MMO's but the actual combat didn't look similar at all to me.

    I certainly look forward to trying it out, especially since it's no more fantasy sword and board garbage. :lol:

    I'm already resigned to buying this, even if it gets the worst reviews in the history of gaming. STO is also going to be an auto buy for me. I've barely bought any games this year, but next year is going to be INSANE. D3 (hopefully), SC2, SW, STO, JGE, etc. Should lead nicely into 2011 and PS2.

    Tried to sign up and got a run around. Oh well. I'll just pay special attention to the game and decide from there.

    noo! :)

    Here's what worked for me:

    I registered an account and did not opt in for beta.

    Once I got my activation e-mail I went ahead and logged in, then opted into beta. Went through entered all my info and did the system scan. I had to try a couple times to get the system scan it.

    Make sure to use IE also.

    Signed up. Wierd thing is that they would not accept my password, so I remember hitting the "Reset Password" button. Got an e-mail requesting I reset my password. So I reset it to the original one and got through. (shrugs)

    The thing about the voice dialogs actually concerns me. (I know, crazy right?)

    I heard about them and suddenly I see the Bioware holding off on expansions and new content unless there is huge demand. All that voice acting takes time and money above and beyond the normal expenses.

    I'm weird that way.
