I haven't got the guild email!! That other beta email was slow too. Why is swtor always delayed to email me?! :( Getting concerned.

Haha, you're not alone, I've been checking swtor.com religiously for the past couple of years. I have my alarm set up for 5AM (7EST) so I can check my email, as they've said that's when they'll send out notices for early access. We'll see!

I was wondering .. maybe we can assist them with raising the guild charter cost quickly..

It would be a nice thing to do. A single character will have that much cash by the time he/she finishes the starter planet, so it shouldn't be too onerous to pull together the funds across multiple folks. Reaching out an offer to help build funds would be a nice gesture.

I second that notion! :P

Looks like one of the larger guilds on there will be "The Older Gamers". I read some stuff about them a while back when I was searching for a guild. Seems to me they are a very respectable, mature group.

I've been in their guild in a few different games. Very nice and well organised.

Gotta admit that some folks' concerns about sharing a server with Taint are a little disappointing to read.

:(

Yes, Taint (Empire) & Rough Trade (Republic) are one and the same. Yes, the launch membership is largely comprised of folks from the Rough Trade Gaming Community's established presence in other games, including The Spreading Taint in WoW, Rough Trade in Rift, etc. Although these various guilds share similar core ideals, each has its own leadership and charts its own course. If interested, here is the SWTOR guild's charter:

Taint & Rough Trade Charter

I've really enjoyed my time with The Spreading Taint in WoW and have been particularly impressed with the very bright, devoted, and professonal leadership. The sheer size and diversity of the guild can be a bit overwhelming, but it's also opened my eyes to some things. Unfortunately, as with any microcosm of the LGBT community at large, there will always be individuals who bring their own drama.

The Spreading Taint leadership speaks highly of its Alliance-side sister guild, The Stonewall Family. I actually stumbled across Knights of Stonewall while searching for whether The Stonewall Family was expanding to SWTOR. I was so impressed with your website and community, I decided to kind of lurk here and hoped I might bump into and adventure with some of you in game [strike]whenever I tired of kicking Jedi butt and taking names[/strike] errr whenever I played my Republic characters.

:whistle:

Can't wait to play with you all!

Catch you on the flip side (of the force)

Noo! Does this mean I'll have to leave the nice home facebook has made for me and make a Google+ account?.......Sidenote, something else to occupy me whilst waiting for that damn email

There's something cool about DKP. If a new guy just shows up to a raid he can still win something if other people don't want to spend a lot of DKP on it or they already have it. And DKP is a good reminder to attend a raid that you signed up for.

I prefer a DKP system based on attendance and time in raid. Biggest issue ive seen over the last few years is people signing up for raids and not showing which just screws it for everyone.

quick secret to getting a purple blade...find an item on sale or for credits and simply remove the crystal by hitting cntrl + right click. it till open the item up and you can click on the item(s) you want to remove. then simply repeat on the object that you want to add it too and tada! purple lightsaber..

well it was at least in beta :P

My AoC guild, Rogue Angels, had a guild point system for raiding. So if you had raided for a year, you could use your banked points to get that final armor piece. Was a good way to reward the people who were regular raiders.

I'm in favor of this kind of system as well. Having raided in a few different games, I hate raiding when this wasn't used and some new guy just showed up for a couple raids and got a piece that I had been working for months to get.

There should definitely be an open discussion about how points are earned (ie. showing up on time, downing certain bosses, etc).

I think it went something like, 25 points for showing up to booked raid, and 15 points for each boss downed. The highest tier of raid loot was abit higher costing. This system was fine, until you had some people who had years of points and a fully geared main, and then used those points for their alts and blocked your main from getting loot... so yeah I'm not a huge fan. I hope there is a token system instead.

Excellent! +1

Do we know who in LOS will be in tomorrow to offer invites? I was stuck to KOS but I'm starting out Imp. (Sorry do-gooders!)

Not really since access will apparently be based on preorder timing. Best advice is to hop onto vent to find out. Second best way is to check here.

Same here. i have been excited for 3 years and now that is the eve of early start i am besides myself. it is almost like christmas day as a kid all over again....

awesomeness!!

Yea! It's very comforting to see a friendly welcome from our straight neighbor, so to speak.

Don't feel bad at all! You are not alone. I've never been this excited about a game, ever. I've been hopping around from this forum to my wow guild's forum (to try to promote SWTOR, of course), then check email again, then to the SWTOR site to read any updates, back to this forum, etc, etc...

All other games are dead to me now and I can't focus on reading my book. Heck, I can't focus on anything right now it seems except SWTOR!
