Meh, can't login.

Will try later. Though, while it pains me to say it, I haven't been that impressed with the footage so far.

i have the same feeling about it looks too much like a action rpg sort of thing but if i manage to get into beta i can make my mind up then.

Finally managed to register, though through Firefox. IE has issues it would seem. Also, make sure your Java is up to date.

Don't get me wrong, the game looks pretty, and I'll definately give it a go, but I just don't see how these flashpoints/voice overs/single player RPG choice options will work in an MMO environment, especially when grouped.

IMPORTANT FANBOY ALERT

Fanboys change your opinions now!! Its not cool to big up starwars anymore despite all previous messages and forums to the contrary, as the release draws closer it is now far more plausible to condemn the game for its failure to live up to hype!!

Damn them all for not making another wow clone those bastards, an MMO not ripping off wow it will never work how dare they! RPG choices in an MMO madness, flashpoints and voicovers... someone stop the insanity.

FANBOY ALERT END

Its not due to them departing from the norm, its more from a technological viewpoint. But as I said, happy to give it a go.

Anyway Elv, your just a rebel. If I stated that the sky was blue, you'd argue the point just because you could ;D

I have to say I don't get the hype... The game doesn't look that great from the videos I've seen, it appears not to be a proper MMO (I may be wrong but I have the impression it is a SP RPG with an integrated IRC program), and it is all about the non-cool Star wars stuff (lazer swoooords!!1!!) and none of the cool stuff (Tie-fighters vs X-wings vs robot-fighters!)...

For me, the hype is about the huge amounts of storyline they claim to put in.
I'm a sucker for a good story. ;)

Thought i'd give this an honorable bump, due to a conversation between a few of us over TS lastnight.

Signed up for testing (as everybody else did), and heard that some keys have been sent out recently in the EU for weekend testing etc, but that's all atm afaik. Full beta is underway over the pond.

Anybody know anything i don't? I'm asking because if i don't get to play this game early, I could throw myself off of a bridge.
