One of the people from bioware already said that the game will have origin on the disc but you won't have to install it and won't need to log into it to play the game, you'll patch from bioware's servers etc.

I should have explained myself better, it works like an aura that you can turn on/off.

Really? I'm a bit surprised at that. If I wanted to get Origin onto a few million desktops, it seems the ideal way to do it.
Maybe they're worried people will be mad enough at the actual game, without adding a forced origin install into the mix

25, for 40,000 credits (which is a fair amount at that level) if I remember correctly.
Just signed up, can't wait for this game, currently reading what I can about it.
Not entirely liking the actual combat, it's very WoW like, I mean you attack so many times, they attack, you attack and they die. I thought it would be more like a FPS not a turn based attack.

Similar to the price when i bought one in SWG Pre-CU.
Actually, I think the ability to ride speeders was 40,000 - We may actually need to pay extra for the speeders. I'll check tonight.
Have you played it yet ?
There are different animations for every move, which, in my opinion are second to none within the MMO genre. As a Jedi Knight at least.
Force leaping into a group of mobs, jumping up into the air and slamming into the floor knocking them all over with force sweep is really satisfying!

Can't see me playing as anything other than a Sith Warrior on release. I want to play other classes in the beta, but I just can't pull myself away from my Sith Warrior character.
are you tanking with that?
always played as a tank in mmo's just not sure which class to choose for tanking

Jedi Guardian or Consular is my sort of style.

The advanced classes are marauder (DPS) and juggernaut (tank) for the Sith warrior (very similar for Jedi Knight) - since I sold all of my (blue) heavy armour about 2 minutes before realising I was about to choose my specialism, I decided to go for marauder for the DPS.
I suspect in the final release I will go for juggernaut since everytime I am in a group, people always wait for me to do my "jumping thing", then I get seriously mobbed.
DPS generally makes levelling quicker too. Plus two lightsabers always looks very cool
I have tried playing as a Jedi Knight/Consular a couple of times now, but I find them too "peaceful" and "good". The Imperials are much more fun

It should cost a bomb for your first mount - I hope 40,000 credits is really a lot of money. It's a huge moment in the game and you should be made to work for it. I remember starting to save up for my level 40 mount in vanilla WoW from around level 20, and it still took me ages - I think I was actually around 45 before I got it.

Well, trying to get to 10k in SWG on release was solid.

40,000 credits isn't that much for it tbh. I am finding money really easy to make in this game.

Some kind soul gave me his speederbike, I was well chuffed.
I don't think a mount is the sort of thing that should be that hard to get, it should just degrade. Basically I like what they had in SWG
Soldato
Anyone know what the speed boost is for a speeder? Hoping it feels decently fast. SWG never quite managed to make them feel zippy.
It starts to cost a lot more for training as you get to higher levels. We're talking thousands of credits per spell. Check out the trainers
You can still by retail copies. They've already cleared this up.
There is a diminishing returns meter, that fills up the more you receive crowd control. When this fills up, you receive temporary immunity to crowd control.
You can see your own meter, not sure if others can see yours too.
