[Azzuri]

I've got in a few, but it's always the ones I'm not that bothered about. The one's I want to get in, like this, never arrive in my inbox.

 

[G-Man]

Have i been blind and missed it or has nobody made a Republic PvE guild for OcUK'ers?

 

[Xire]

Am i right in thinking twileks are an unlockable race and not available to chose as your first char?

You can choose any race at the beginning, there is no lock.

Im going to submit an app over Wab when the TOR site is back up.

Cool m8 on the sw.tor site when you apply please state you from here, as we have closed recruitment for now.

If you have already applied and the name is different to the one you use here just drop me a PM

Swords..........!? With blasters and lightsabers!?

I appreciate the variety BW, but at least make it logical.

 

[Glaucus]

What's the ocuk guild website?
Totally forgotten.

Edit - ignore its in OP

Swords / vibroblades are very much a part of SW lore especially in Sith Lords such as Naga Sadow who used a sword.

Vibroblades are fine, but these look like actual swords. As in sharp metal pokey things.

Just doesn't seem very logical, what do you take to a fight a blaster or a sword?

Couple of tips when choosing your characters name:

3 characters is the shortest

15 characters is the longest

Spaces are not allowed

' and - are allowed

EDIT:

Stephen Reid: "We'll be giving everyone an update on Early Game Access quite soon."

Ancient Sith used Sith swords which held power from the dark side so potentially they could be ancient powerful Sith relics. Which did eventually get replaced with lightsabres.

They said they would release more info on surname use near launch too

Well there is a very interesting discussion going on with the use of surnames and the legacy system

But

There was an interview at I *think* NYCC where the question of surnames was asked and they gave an answer of something along the lines of "we have plans for surnames, but are not sure if it will make it into launch"

Trust emails, very rarely if at all.

Server types revealed:

There will be four different server types in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here's how they work generally, and details on how we're dealing with roleplaying (RP) servers:

PvE (Player vs Environment) – Players will have to manually flag themselves if they wish to engage in PvP outside of designated Warzones and Open World PvP areas.

PvP (Player vs Player) – Players are automatically flagged for PvP outside of the designated 'safe' areas (such as Origin Worlds, Capital Worlds, and the Republic/Imperial Fleets; see below for more info).

RP-PvE – Players are encouraged to roleplay and act ‘in-character’ while playing on an RP-PvE server. Players must manually flag themselves if they wish to engage in PvP outside of designated Warzones and Open World PvP areas.

RP-PvP – Players are encouraged to roleplay and act ‘in-character’ while playing on an RP-PvP server. Players are automatically flagged for PvP outside of the designated 'safe' areas (such as Origin Worlds, Capital Worlds, and the Republic/Imperial Fleets; see below for more info).

The pre-launch Guild Headquarters currently allows you to select between three different server types for your guild: PvE, PvP, and RP, which will determine your server placement during Phase 3: Deployment. During Deployment, we will be placing all eligible guilds that select 'RP' onto RP-PvE servers by default. If a guild wishes to exist on an RP-PvP server, they will need to create their guild manually on a new server once they reach their Capital World (Dromund Kaas or Coruscant) and create their guild.

The decision to make RP-PvP servers an option for players was made recently, which is why the choice was not available in the Guild Headquarters to start with. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but we hope you are as excited as we are to be able to choose this option for your guild in the game at launch.

PvP server rulesets

We also wanted to expand on what the PvP server ruleset means in The Old Republic. The obvious overarching rule is that in general, if you see a player of the opposite faction, you may immediately engage them in combat.

The exception to this rule is sanctuaries, which are large areas where PvP may not take place, regardless of whether you are flagged or unflagged for PvP. Examples of this are the Origin Worlds (Tython, Ord Mantell, Hutta, and Korriban), the Capital Worlds for both sides (Dromund Kaas and Coruscant), and the Republic/Imperial Fleets.

Hopefully this post helps inform your decision as to which server type you'd like to play on at launch. If you haven’t already, create a guild on the Guild Headquarters so that you can get placed on a server before the game launches!

Deffinately going to pick a PvP realm this time, missed out in WoW as I followed some friends on a PvE server

 

[Cat_In_Pyjamas]

With the above announcement in mind, I posted a poll in the BSP section of beyondtheclock. Anyone rolling with the pvp guild please visit and cast your vote here.

@JamesOhlen

Writers finished a major milestone for post release content. We’re going to keep half of the voice actors in Hollywood employed for years.

Keeps me happy
