Arch is correct, and this will be SOE's biggest hyped title to date.

I can't speak for SWG's release, but I predict it is not going to be pretty.

The cocktail burEAucrats CANNOT allow excess server load to go wasted in case peak loads exceed projected forecasts, heavens no. Nope, they prefer the tried and true formulae of "just enough". 1 old router and a p2-450.

Just picture the hoover dam, and on the dry wall side in the middle, you see a tiny garden hose sticking out. This will be the login server.

SO I'll go on record RIGHT HERE and say it's going to be a debacle unlike anything in the MMORPG world has seen to date. SWG will go down as the worst launch of all time. My reasoning is the demand is WAAAY too high for a game of this calibre to roll out smoothly.

Just a prediction, no death threats please.
(you should read some of these people's posts. SWG is like waiting for the second coming of Christ, and they get their diapers all in a bunch if anyone speaks a hint of disrespect).

sorry bro, I beta'd AO (thanks to Dnasty) and played from launch til about 4 months ago... nothing... and I mean NOTHING could compair to that.

yes it may be sloppy at launch, but trust me on this, it is not possible to have a worse launch than AO. A year after launch I still felt like I was paying for a beta hehe.

but I will still be there with bells on

VERY satisfied with PvP, Holo. Extremely. Not just with my opponents (PvP is its own reward, yada yada yada) but yes, with the support, the perks, the systems, the mechanics. Yeah I can tell a friend that, if you like PvP, SWG is for you. The only carebears I've seen are packing uzis.
The fluidity between coverts and overts, the cohesiveness, and the REAL intelligence coverts can gather for their overt allies is significant. It's not PvE on this side of the fence and PvP on that side, the GCW has melded the two sides of the fence while allowing PvEers the freedom of choice to BE a part of a faction without getting knocked around in the process - unless they're feeling rambunctious.

So yeah, I think SWG has definitely given the PvP crowd more than just a segregated padded room I once feared was all we might be given. The GCW has really encompassed both playstyles almost flawlessly.

Lets just keep those rebels from wearing ST armor when the game goes live...

w00t!

With Q leaking posts like this from the beta boards I have to say I may just have found my new home... now I just need to get a damn beta account to see for myself!
