I just want the normal edition. :3

Razer have come out with some Old Republic peripherals. I want to get them, despite how expensive they are but they're not available in the UK yet :cry:

Tripsis, I know your a mac users, so how are you playing the game since it's windows only? Are you going to use bootcamp or do you have a PC you're going to use?

Go for it! I'm sure it will be worth it :P

I wish it were kotor3 instead :( I don't want to get into an mmo even if I wanted to spend that much.

I actually really want to play this.

I want the Collectors Edition, but I don't want it badly enough to pay the prices they're asking for. I'd pay maybe £90, but not £120. I might buy the Digital Deluxe one though. I intend to look into it a little bit more first, just to make sure I really do want it. So far though, it looks pretty good.

The fact that they're allowing pre-orders without either a) a release date or b) any information on how much this game is going to cost is a bit worrying to me, though.

I really, really want this game to be good, but I'm not gonna buy it until it has reviews after coming out, because I don't want it to be another Star Wars: Galaxies.

I agree, but at least it's something.

It honestly looks like KOTOR but with real people running around with you.

Thanks to them not selling to australia. I had to preorder it off Amazon. But I'm happy :)

I got into the closed beta for this game, and let me tell you...it is going to blow WoW right out of the water my friends. Prepare for awesomeness.

 

However, i think Blizzard is going to combat with it by releasing Diablo 3 right around the same time LMAO.

RELEASE DATE: 20 DECEMBER 2011 (NORTH AMERICA); 22 DECEMBER 2011 (EU)

There goes the family Christmas.

Sweet, this will give me plenty of time to set everything up to run it!

Bumping this. I've been reading some Star Wars novels (Darth Bane trilogy, Force Unleashed 1&2, Deceived, and eagerly awaiting Revan and Darth Plagueis) and I'm stoked for this game. This will actually be the first game I'll be getting into other than Runescape. I still haven't decided if I want to be a Sith Assassin or Sorcerer.

I got to get a better computer for this.

Yay, I've been selected to beta-test. I even forgot I had an account :P

Everyone who signed up for the beta is invited to this weekend test :) Hopefully we'll get some actual game time in. At this rate (with the forum server being overloaded), who knows what the stress will be like on the game servers this weekend...

 

I was invited to beta a few weeks ago and the game is pretty amazing :P I'm really, really looking forward to release.

Ah, nice.

 

I'm currently downloading and installing the game. It also appears that we can talk about the beta-test now.

I was invited like two weekends in a row but was unable to participate because I haven't got my system setup yet.. I should be ready to play by next week when I get a new MBP and get bootcamp setup. :thumbup:

Has anyone else started playing yet? If so, what server? :P

I won't get a chance to start playing until after the holidays :( . I only realized this about a week ago that the day after the game is officially released I'm flying up to WA for the week so picking it up before hand is pointless.

I've been in since Tuesday, I'm on Frostclaw playing Sith Empire.

What class are you playing? I'm having the most annoying/difficult time deciding on a class.
