are they expecting this to have as much issues as wow does security wise? Should I be getting an authenticator for the account i'll log onto twice a week?

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

This is going to sound silly and sensational, but let me answer this with another query.  Since your house doesn't catch on fire all the time, do you really need fire insurance?  Ohhhhh, I see.

So what you're saying, if I am tracking you properly, is that I need to buy more fire insurance to play SWTOR.

Your login is an email address which is easily harvested from insecure forums.  After that it's just brute forcing, which can be quick or slow.    The one thing they have going for them that WoW doesn't is too many failed logins on the web requires a capcha test.  They still don't lock you out and I don't know what happens if you fail too many times in the patcher.

Better safe than sorry. The app will be free and if you bought the CE you get a free authenticator in the box anyway.

This stupid legacy system is stupid. How am I suppose to come up with a single last name that works for all my characters?

And not having a last name in a Star Wars game is stupid too.

There goes my stupid plan of using my superb character names from EVE.

Blizzard one is free but you pay S&H for the physical one.

You can have a separate last name but title of "the xyz" legacy I thought.

You can't do spaces in a name, so I donno how you'd another last name unless thats new since the last beta weekend. I thought the legacy name *was* your last name, if you chose to show it.

You can display it so that it either looks like a last name or is displayed under your character's name as 'of the blahblah legacy' (or hide it altogether)  but there's still no way to have seperate legacy and surnames. Ohhhhh, I see.

I bet the community will make a RP tool that allows nicknames / surnames / aliases, as well as RP backgrounds etc., like there is in WoW.  That way people can have their Darth names, nicknames, etc.

It might have been the elusive apostrophe. Coming from a game where practically every NPC member of a race (OH HAI TROLLS) has an apostrophe'd name while the player base are completely incapable of using one can blind you to their presence.

Darth is actually a title that can be earned by Sith Warriors and Sith Inquisitors. So is Lord.

http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming-Gadgets/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-Developer-Live-Chat-Transcript/m-p/406744#M14937

Transcript of yesterday's evening chat with the developers. Some interesting tidbits: confirmation of a "secret space project"; also, hint about the possible implementation of pod racing, enhancements to UI and existing systems and more. Looks like they're not all about "moar flashpoints, moar operations" - only attitude, while of course that's a very important aspect to keep a large portion of the playerbase interested. I would like to see a more "horizontal" expansion more than a vertical one, especially when it comes to social/roleplaying activities (in other words, more stuff to do in between leveling).
