Star Wars: The Old Republic

[Sinsanity]

I actually can't tell you my specs just this moment right off the bat (currently @work). But yeah I see where you're coming from, BF3 didn't work with my specs either, but ill take the chance and get it now and play on mod settings, is there a monthly subscription to pay?

Yeah. You get a month free with game purchase but then it's a monthly charge.

1 Month Subscription: $14.99 (£8.99/€12.99)
3 Month Subscription: $13.99 per month (one-time charge of $41.97/£25.17/€35.97)
6 Month Subscription: $12.99 per month (one-time charge of $77.94/£46.14/€65.94)

I think they're going to allow most pre-orders into Early Access tomorrow, Friday December 16th at 11AM EST. Tomorrow is when pre-orders get their launch "Product Registration Code" according to the info on the SWTOR site.

If not...

I could be wrong though because even if you redeem the launch code, you don't get full game access until launch day.

I Definently want to try this game out however I feel the specs on my current computer would be less than sufficient to handle it. I could be wrong though. I've been trying to build from scratch a new tower. I just got my case and power supply yesterday. Cooler master haf 922 is bigger then I thought, good god. Lol

Currently you do not need a great or even good computer in order to play the game. You can play it just fine on a decent machine on low/medium graphics. The big helper here is that they don't actually have AA implemented yet because it was causing crashes in the beta.

If it's anything like WoW though, they will be doing graphical upgrades with each expansion, and I'm betting that they're going to aim to throw a good expansion around the same time that WoW releases MoP in order to prevent a huge decrease in subscriptions.

I HAVE noticed actually that the game works better with older Nvidia drivers, particularly the 275.xx release. I had about a 10-15 fps jump when I rolled back my drivers.

Correct. I personally want to know when we are cut off from playing with the pre-release. Do we get to play through the 20th? Or are we going to be cut off at midnight and then have to wait for the stores to open in the morning to play again? It seems like a lot of places aren't doing midnight launches for the game either, because of it being the last week before christmas (they don't want christmas shoppers coming in at a midnight launch) and also because of most colleges having final exams.

All servers are going temporarily offline before launch so we won't be able to play through. I don't know exactly when or for how long though but my guess is it will be on the 19th for a few hours.

It's lied to me and some friends over the years. It told me I couldn't run minesweeper. I was obviously upset.
