  1. You are in a queue. Position 1555!!!! Seriously? Estimated time 1hr 45mins. Yeah, whatever. Done with this game.
  2. Now, Im not stupid and I could probably figure all this out if I took the time, but honestly which small percentage of people is all this aimed at? As a casual gamer, I find it all a bit complex, so... I play on Uthar Wynn (at least till my sub runs out), Jedi Sage, Healer spec, prefer PvP can someone make me what I need.. credits waiting
  3. 2 biggest lessons I learnt from my time here on SWTOR - Never pay for 6 months in advance Never pay extra real money for useless digital items
  4. I said the same thing about 5 months ago. There is no game feature that covers the war. Nothing changes hands based on player commitments, nothing to aim for, nothing to achieve. Plenty of other 2 faction games have things like maps and areas that change hands
  5. I love the folks who compare the start/launch of Swtor to the problems now. Ever considered a middle ground? Maybe instead of 1 Euro PVP server with huge lag, and queue times. Maybe they could have transfererd to 3 servers and spread the load? Bioware seriously need to sack their numbers people and get better estimates!
  6. Well, I expected such.. your missing the point. All of Biowares resources, all of the employees on salary, they should provide a better service than this. I play a multitude of games, I dont queue in them and some have 10x the player base and operate on 100x less budget. As for what I am entitled to, no where did it say I have to queue before a game. I wasnt sold that, I wouldnt buy that. I would have thought as fellow gamers, the practicality of queue's make arranging OPs and guild events difficult. Say you arrange a meet for 7pm. Your Healer doesnt show till 730 because he has been in a queue. The raid is delayed, your euro team members are 2hrs ahead, they need to leave early. Bioware have all the data, seems they messed up a little again
  7. But honestly Bioware. Its a Monday, granted 7pm, gaming time but... You are in a queue.. position 310.. estimated wait 20mins.. Second day in a row of no SWTOR. I was excited to move to a populated server, but could you look at the figures, or extend the cap plz I have already unsubbed, and this isnt helping me sway back to giving you money.
  8. Its not cool for me. Call me old fashioned but I want to play when I want to play. Added to the fact Im a paying customer. I got bored, cancelled and went to play one of the myriad of other games I play. Disgruntled.....
  9. First part of my pet project! DONE SOLEY FOR HUMOUR! Hope y'all find it entertaining. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... Star Wars SWTOR Episode IV A NEW HOPE It is a period of civil war. Rebel players, striking from a hidden forum, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic EAmpire. During the E3 press conference, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the EAmpires ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armoured super server with enough power to destroy an entire low populated server. Pursued by the EAmpires sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the mmo galaxy.... Space, a couple of distant planets, and the surface of another. A small forum-post class starship, attempts to avoid being locked by a much larger, powerful Star Destroyer, crewed by Forum Moderators. The two ships exchange shots. The forum ship takes a hit. The action switches to inside the forum-post ship, to a corridor down which 3 droids are walking. Frantic Rebel players rush down similar corridors. C3PO: Do you hear that? They've shut down the main forum, our threads will be destroyed for sure! This is madness! R2D2: <beeps This isnt Sparta!> More frantic Rebel players rush by, and take up defensive positions in a corrider facing a door. C3PO: We're doomed. There will be no escape for the Princess this time. R2D2: <beeps> C3PO: (In response to a large clanking sound) Whats that? Rebel players in the forums, look around. Outside of the ship, we see the Moderator vessel on top of the forum-post ship. Back to the inside of the ship. Rebel players level their weapons on the door, which lights up, then gets blown down. Bioware Moderator Storm Troopers emerge and a fire-fight ensues. Several Players comments are removed, threads locked, and worse some Players receive forum bans. Bioware Employees also take casualties in the fighting. The surviving players make a fighting withdrawl, pursued by the Moderators. C3PO and R2D2 cross a corridor thick with laser fire, but as any player knows there is no collision in SWTOR so they make safely to the other side. Back to the main door. Darth Vader enters assess the damage, then marches off down the corridor. R2D2 <beeps as someone shoves a card in his face> C3PO: R2D2 where are you? C3PO looks around, before finally spotting R2D2 stood in clear view down a corridor.. a mysterious woman continues to jab R2D2 in the face. C3PO: At last! Where have you been? They're heading in this direction. What are we going to do? We'll be sent to Warhammer Online, or smashed into who knows what! R2D2 has had enough of C3PO's garbage and heads off C3PO: Wait a minute, where are you going? Imperial Moderator Storm Troopers, escort surrendered Rebel players down a corridor. Darth Vader holds a captured Rebel officer by the throat. Random Storm Trooper Moderator: The Death Star plans are not in the main computer. Darth Vader: Where are those transmissions you intercepted. What have you done with those plans? Unfortunate Rebel Player: We intercepted no transmissions. This is a consular ship. We have been playing Diablo 3. Darth Vader: If this is a consular ship, where is the Ambassador? Vader issues a permannt ban on the Players Account Darth Vader: Commander, tare this forum apart until you have found those plans, and bring me the players I want them alive! Three Storm Trooper Moderators lurk on the General Disscussion Forum, looking for rogue posts related to E3. Princess Leia is hiding. Storm Trooper: Theres one. Set for lock. Princess Leia shoots one Moderator, before being taken down by the remaining troopers. Storm Trooper: She'll be alright. Inform Lord Vader we have a prisoner. Meanwhile R2D2 and C3PO continue their escape from the official SWTOR forums. C3PO: Hey, your nor permitted in there. Its restricted. You'll be deactivated for sure. R2D2: <beeps informing C3PO that there are other websites> C3PO: Dont you call me a mindless philospoher you over weight blob of grease. Now come out before somebody sees you. R2D2: <beeps Secret Mission Dude! Plans n that> C3PO: Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about. Im not getting in there. A laser blast forces C3P0 to take cover in the escape pod. C3PO: Im going to regret this. R2D2 and C3PO unsub. And are picked up by EAmpire Bioware Accounts management. EAmpire Bioware Accounts Management Dude #1: There goes another one. EAmpire Bioware Accounts Management Dude #2: Hold your fire. There's no life forms. It must be a 30 day free account expiring. From the capsule, in space C3PO comments. C3PO: Thats funny. The damage doesnt look so bad from out here. Are you sure this thing is safe? R2D2: <beeps SWTOR is still the 2nd largest western mmo after WoW> C3PO: Oh. Meanwhile back on the forum, Moderators escort Princess Leia to Darth Vader. Priness Leia: Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. http://Www.mmorpg.com will not sit still for this. When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic forum... Darth Vader: Dont act so surprised your highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions from E3 where beemed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. Princess Leia: I dont know what you're talking about. The entire E3 press conference was streamed live on the web. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan. Darth Vader: You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take her away! Imperial Moderator Storm Troopers lead Princess Leia away Bioware Officer: Holding her is dangerous. Word of this gets out to other websites it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion in the Senate. Darth Vader: I have traced the Rebel Spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret forum. Bioware Officer: She'll die before she'll tell you anything. Darth Vader: Leave that to me. Send a distress signal then inform the Senate that all posts have been locked or deleted. Bioware Officer #2: Lord Vader, the super server plans are not aboard this forum, and no cross-posts were made. A number of subscriptions were cancelled during the fighting. No active memberships were lost. Darth Vader: She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retreive them. See to it personally Commander. There will be no-one to stop us this time!
  10. My fellow Uthar Wynn! I feel your pain. Our server is a complete and utter joke. I gave up trying ages ago, but I wish you all the best in trying to get some compensation for the utter travesty that is Uthar Wynn
  11. I know what the secret announcement is! I got it from my friend Jim, who swears he is an exec at EA... I can share it with y'all if you promise to keep it a secret! The big announcement is, one that will INSTANTLY bring back 400k+ players and see server population rise to near post launch numbers! Its a new character class! A final Legacy unlock, and you need to have had a Jedi, and be currently unsubbed. Its called the FORCE GHOST!
  12. I was thinking about the current situation and the state of the server I am on, and the future when I thought what would happen if I am the only one on the server? As it stands I am on Uthar Wynn, torstatus has us listed as lowest EU server since about 4 months ago. This is no lie when I say day time has around 3 people on, evening we might make 7. I havent seen it go past 10 for ages. Thats Republic side, across the whole server. Bioware announced transfers and have said no to mergers. I ask in all honesty who would transfer to Uthar Wynn? The people I know who are left on the server are waiting for transfers so they can leave. I might stay I wonder if Bioware would force me to leave. Forced relocation! I might make banners saying I will not be moved! And start barricading fleet so they cant get me. Chain myself to the VIP lounge. On a serious note though, has anyone heard them say anything more than 'free transfers to select servers'?
  13. Try logging in to Uthar Wynn server.. 3 people online. 7 is the average for peak time. I honestly wonder why Bioware dont just pull the plug on that server
  14. Biggest mistake I ever made, and the best lesson I ever learned. I was kinda new to subscription, believed the hype over the game, and being a bargain shopper thought I would go with the 6month sub as it offered a better 'per month' deal, and I assumed I would be enjoying the game for a lot longer. But... EU Server, Uthar Wynn.. is deader than dead. 7 people PRIME TIME on the sentire server. I have over 70 days left on my sub. I now play maybe 2hrs a week...
  15. Uthar Wynn = Deader than Dead 1330BST - 3 people online 1930BST - 7 people online Just close it down already...
