You may well be right, but i do not want to be enjoying the jedi knight, only to enter a contested area and get corpse camped by some 12 year olds for 3 hours.

That is not fun for me.

Fair point mate, at the end of the day you are paying a ~£8 a month so you don't want to be playing on a sever type you don't like.

If you change your mind both OcUK guilds would be happy to have you

Beyond the clocks a decent name as for the sith name .. something two 12 years olds would come up with ... hehe I'm gonna get a bashing now

I disagree. But a 12 year old would be expected to throw playground insults.

While Black Sun Pirates might not be the zenith of sophistication, it does have actual SW universe lore links; it also brings back happy memories of blasting tonnes of the buggers out the sky above Endor in Jump to Lightspeed, to get that luuurvly rare helmet drop

Its a shame that Beyond the Clock can not persuade the other guilds to use the community site as there home, rather then have it segmented.

Agreed, would help keep OcUKers together.

Shame there all pvp server based.

I take it PvE is the way to go if you're new to MMOs too?

It depends on the player. When I first started playing MMO's I jumped straight into a PvP server and haven't looked back.

If this is your first MMO then you will most likely prefer to have a guild to to talk to/answer your questions etc. and that is what the two OcUK guilds can provide.

But it is upto you.

Which of the two OcUK guilds are you going for mate? Don't be put off by the fact that the Republic guild doesn't have as many players as the Sith Empire one does, it should even itself out hopefully by launch.

gooseuk · 22 Oct 2011 at 11:30

Sith guild. But i am sure at some stage i will try out republic.

I wouldn't say that.

Its entirely up to the individual. If you like the thought of killing other players at will when your out questing, then be prepared for the other side of the coin when them players come back and kill you.

If the above sounds appealing, then a PvP server is definitely for you.

But for me, i enjoy questing too much and i hate being ganked (killed while on low health or middle of a quest), so i always play on PvE and then engage in PvP when I'm ready.

Couldn't they just have an option where you choose if you want to become a PK, but you can't harm non-PK players?

I believe you can do that on PvE servers, you choose if you want to flag yourself for combat and only enemies that are flagged for combat can attack you and vice versa.

My guild is called "It's a Tarp"

LateX'Dog · 22 Oct 2011 at 14:22

Some player duelling and griefing.

Yeah but I would have thought it would be big enough for the soundtrack

robmol · 22 Oct 2011 at 16:29

Bit confused as to why you'd want to use that much bandwidth, time and effort just for the soundtrack? Do you guys not want any new experiences in game when it comes out? Data mining the beta, SRSLY? Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? Of course you read up on the races/classes/areas etc to prepare for the release date but some of what I've seen here is a step too far IMO.

I think if they enjoy doing that lets them go for it

thats all that matters in the end

The soundtrack is about 800mb, but its not a storage issue, its that Bioware found out and DMCA'd it.
