    I probably could, but I think I need to spare all the computing capacity I can for this game. We'll look into it once we get things up and running.

    OkaaaAAaay....

    But latecomers to the guild will need to set up quarters in the cargo hold of our sweet-ass capital ship until they prove themselves worthy.

    To the first part.... Cool, whatever you feel you can manage.

    To the second part.... As long as it's on the inside of the ship, I'll be happy just about anywhere. Even the trash compartments. ;)

    Well, my girlfriends and I are recording our antics while we play, if you're interested. The one who's recording them is currently compiling them to post on YouTube. I'll post them as she does if you'd like. :)

    Ive been playing on Rwookrrorro, trying to do the casual thing. Companions are a great idea that makes this a better solo experience than wow ever was.

    Just so you know, when she cuts it together, she leaves out the fighting, unless something hilarious happens. All the videos are dialogue, and our reactions to it. Well, theirs, I haven't been playing with them, so I dont think I'm in any of these. We recorded some while beta was going, too, and I was playing with them. Anywho...

    Kinda shady, still (in my books). Compare this to EVE Online, where player exploits of the system are regularly applauded by the devs for being creative, and the players aren't banned or suspended because of the dev's mistakes. They also didn't dispute the practice of banning people and thereby preventing them from cancelling their subscriptions through the online portal. I guess we'll just have to take their word that they process cancellations through alternate means. I'm willing to give them that. This is just more evidence why I don't play MMO games, too much bullshit that I'm paying good money for. I'll stick to Go and Minecraft for my pointless circlejerking.

    Maybe I missed it, but I don't think it was confirmed that the person couldn't cancel their account (or if their ban was permanent).

    As for the low-level characters doing high-level looting, they didn't ban anyone for this. They handed out warnings or suspensions to those that were leveraging it like a sonovabitch enough to disrupt the in-game economy.

    They handed out bans for credit farming/selling. If you ask me, all the power to them.

    I agree it is a bit sloppy on the dev end, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as they go through growing pains.

    What I'm saying is that these suspensions are improper, given the mistake is on the part of the devs. Reward players for their creativity. Stifling it just makes bad PR and makes your dev team look like a bunch of reactionary incompetents.

    There's just 4 videos so far. She's still putting them together. But they'll all be on her YouTube account, so subscribe and watch out for updates. ;)
    She and I are playing right now, actually. :D

    I guess we're waiting for a call from teh Settie. We're Imperial, but I'm not sure what server yet.

    Guild won't start for a while, but we're going to run together on quests and shit. Birds of a feather flock together, and we're doing it dark side.

    "Again and again the dark side has surged forth, like a storm…devouring whole worlds and entire star systems. Those who mastered dark power became dark power. They unleashed destruction, for no other reason than for selfish gain. They despoiled nations…destroyed whole civilizations. Some of them, I am ashamed to say, were Jedi."

    From what I gather watching YouTube videos, there are only 4-man guilds. Is that true?
    Seems kind of small.
