I am just happy. I have never been part of a beta for anything.

I have tried for almost every game out there to get into beta.

The force must be with me for this one :0

I was mad because I am on the other side of the country and could not attend
Fan fest.

Well of course it is buggy.... if it weren't, you would have paid your
$30 and be playing in a live game.

And Yeah. I do feel special. ANd I feel lucky. Seeing that which only
a few of the total number of players get to see and be part of
developing.

Beta is Awesome.

I have been testing out some generic controllers and they work great.

Using the mouse is not the easiest thing in the world. The game is much
better with a controller. I would recommend one to anyone that is going to
get serious in playing the space expansion.

I have experience no lag in space. Just some on Naboo in Theed infront of
the space port because there are 1000 people outside.

Hmmm... I might have to reinstall and check it out again. One of the
problems I've noticed right away is that my friends aren't in it, so the
whole reason I didn't drop the game a long time ago was because of them.
It does make it easier to find and report the bugs though, since they
seem to piss me off a lot quicker when I don't have anything else to do
😉

Both of my accounts have an invite and all of my freinds got invited.

Beggining to think they're giving everyone a chance to play before release.

I talked with one of my friends from SWG last night for the first time
in ages. He said the JTL forums were full of people saying they only
played 30mins and then quit playing it forever. If thats the case, it
might've been a bad idea to invite everybody 🙁

Don't forget that it still requires ground resources to build and
maintain your ships, that should help keep people in the ground game.

I think they don't need another repeat of opening day. Never hurts to
offer a few free weeks of beta to see how server load handles under
stressed conditions.

And when you get hurt in space - you get significant wounds and battle

OK, the space game drains ground resource, but what does the space
game do for us ground folk other than eat up our resources and
credits? What can I get from the space game that will enhance or help
the ground game?

EQ expansion at least offered new spells and crafting items if you
couldn't scrape up the man power for the new dungeon crawls whose
difficulty was dictated by the uber guilds.At least there were some
consolation prizes that you could use in the old EQ world. This is
what I am finding problematic about the first expansion. Did I miss
something or is it just all about the opportunity to fly around in
space and twitch?

EQ2 won't be like EQ1. Yes for some things you will need groups.But it
will be solo and casual player friendly. You'll have item rot and best
items are player made as opposed to the need to camp the "good stuff".
Best I can describe the class system is a hybrid between SWG and old
EQ; still level dependent, but class begin in a broad area and only
focus into your final "class" at the upper levels.

I loved EQ but after 5 years, been there done that. It is a limited
game and it really showed at the end where the uber guilds pretty much
set the agenda to the point that some dungeons just couldn't be done
by may high mid level guild. I remember when a bunch of uber guilds on
a server pulled down "The Sleeper" who was a Death Touch MoB never
meant to be "killed". They did it and it was that kind of power the
devs based their dungeon,drop, game design on and that made it party
dependent for anything nice and also raised the frustration level as
small guilds tried to cobble enough people together to attempt some of
the content with mixed results.

SWG has some content problems IMO, but I do like how I was able to get
nice armor, a house, mount in a relatively short time. Unlike EQ where
you can spend months saving for a single piece of armor and even
adventure with other no matter what level you are.

From what I read, Ill be giving EQ2 a chance, but I have always been
partial to the fantasy setting and all the others out ATM just don't
do it for me like EQ did. It will be interesting to see if EQ2 can
give me that same feeling again or if it was nothing more then the
right game at the right time...

Thanks for the insight Shane, I pretty much felt the same way about that
one --- been there done that. I would be interested to hear your thoughts
when the new EQ2 comes out and get a player perspective before I commit to
another one

As far as SWG, yeah, there are a few content issues but I am comfortable
enough with the game. I would say that they need to rethink a few aspects of
the Jedi FS conversion rates however. 30 to 1 conversion does feel fairly
steep to me. Other than that, I don't really have a beef with the whole
revamp.

As a matter of curiosity, I started a character on Bloodfin the other day to
see how far I could get him while I wait for my combat missions on
Corbantis. Made a Zabrak brawler and got him to midrang ein 1 handed weapons
and unarmed relatively quickly. Doesn't have much cash or a house yet but
I've only played him twice. I had no idea the brawler profession had that
kind of power coming out of the gate. Cho Mai doing 425pts on an NPC as a
novice brawler with a cheap bazaar bought Gaderiffi baton was scary.
