Well, that was because the catasses got pissy that noobs didn't have to work as hard sometimes. I'd say it was more the "eternal noob" type that got pissy. Anyone with a high level character themselves had an easy means to twink their own lowbies, so it's unlikely they were complaining much. |

At the risk of making this an old gamer nostalgia thread, my fourth day in some random guy twinked me with a shiny brass shield and a set of ivy etched that I wore 'til I was like level 40.
One of the many many many things I hate about modern mmorpg thinking is that today this is inexplicably regarded as a bad thing.  |

Hey we implemented a pointless and terrible bind on equip mechanic so let's invent another overcomplicated mechanic that kind of works in different direction.  |

lol, I sold my 2 EQ1 accounts years ago and made over $1000 :)
... which is why SWOR is going to have a cash shop either at launch or within the first 12 months post-launch. |

Reminds me of the SWG beta days when they opened up Endor and a bunch of people wanted to go out and kill ewoks. About an hour later, they're all sitting at the starport, HAM bars all black. Those Ewoks were bad little fuckers back then.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I'm not sure there's ever such a thing as spam when dead ewoks are concerned.

So, NDA going to lift anytime soon? I wouldn't bet on them ever dropping NDA. My guess is they'll keep it under wraps until the december stress test marketing beta, which will obviously be open. |

Maybe they'll try to embargo the press until a week after release.

There's only one big MMO. WoW. It had nothing worth calling an NDA.
That's the only game SWTOR wants to compete against. As such, there are no other games.

and there won't be an open beta, there will be a "paid" beta.....
yes, think on that.
You are now officially paying to beta test.

As opposed to unofficially paying to beta test every other MMO that's ever launched?

Well yes, that's kind of the point...it's not even a pretense anymore. |

1 week before launch if they are plain terrible. 1 month before launch if they are an uninspired retread pushed out the door three months early. 1 quarter before launch if they are halfway decent and contribute anything worthwhile to the genre. Or if it is WoW. |

I find it sort of amazing that you think this problem is getting worse. That's some serious rose tinting you've got going on there. |
