Well, when I first was glancing through the threads, I saw this one and had to do a double take. Not because it was anything out of the ordinary. At first glance, though, I could have swore I saw "Combat Hair Styles"! Now THAT would be an...  [Read More]

And oh yeah, thanks to this site I can't wait for SWG. I just hope we don't all lose interest for the next 8 months or so until it comes out. Bite your tongue! Lose interest, bah! All I wanted for christmas was one of those snowspeeders you could...  [Read More]

So when did you first get introduced to the legend that is Star Wars? This, of course, is going to date me a bit, but I was around for the original release in 1977. I was 9 years old (you can do the math) when it was first released. Things were a li...  [Read More]

I've played in a few MMORPG's, but I never really got involved with PvP. I have a few friends now who are playing DAoC (Dark Age of Camelot) and have said that the PvP 'wars' they have been having are a lot of fun. I actually like the way SWG is ap...  [Read More]

I've been a vid game and rpg addict for some time, although I was able to quell it for a short time. I actually was more of a 'first person shooter' type for a while, until EQ. The first time I saw EQ, I was wholly uninterested. A few friends managed...  [Read More]

You really need to look at the packaging and look at the min and recommended. I don't suggest playing a game at the minimum ram recommened. This usually means that you will not be able to play the game with all the 'bells and whistles'. For the mos...  [Read More]

A RAM upgrade never hurt /forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif. RAM prices have really come down a lot, so this is a good time if you're planning to upgrade. Just be sure that you're getting the correct RAM for your computer. There are a few different...  [Read More]

I'm not saying that you're going to get top of the line parts with a off the shelf PC. But for most of the people that are looking at purchasing, they don't have a PC guy handy who can build (and maintain) a system for them. I do a lot of PC work,...  [Read More]

That's about mine as well. Although I have a bit more ram. In any case, with 2ghz systems coming out and 100mhz bus and RAM speeds, I don't think I can upgrade anymore. Getting a whole new system ends up being a bit cheaper. The scary thing is that...  [Read More]

The developers haven't put out any definitive specs yet as to what you'll need. I know I'll be upgrading at least my video card, if not more. You know, the funny thing is the one thing that has kept me up to date with my computer hardware is not my w...  [Read More]

Player vs. Player combat has become a point of contention on the SWG developer boards for quite a while. Success with PvP systems has been mixed when considering MMORPG releases to date. SWG plans to take a different avenue than it's predecsors. I w...  [Read More]

The first time playing a MMORPG can be a little intimidating. I spent the first hours just trying to figure out how to navigate around the town I started in. It wasn't much fun, but I was determined and eventually found a few people that helped me ou...  [Read More]

Is that from experience Tracer, or you think you don't have enough skill for it? I think you'd be surprised how much fun it can be to do something you've never done before. I'm doing a lot of research into the Star Wars genre to get myself up to sp...  [Read More]

I think I'll stick to the rather boring and mundane human character (I'm the kind of person whose favorite ice cream is vanilla). Rodian would be pretty intersting though. I'm sure I'll have a few of different species. I definitely will have to have...  [Read More]

I think it may be a good thing that you haven't been involved in any of the other games. You won't be going into the game with any presuppositions about what you liked or didn't like. One character is never enough for me. I need some variety now and...  [Read More]

I agree, you need to have some motivation for skill advancement. The developers have also said that there will be a set skill point cap. This means the end for the master-jack-of-all-trades. It would seem the skill combinations are going to have to b...  [Read More]
