Khirra Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) quick question, I'm on the west coast, will I be able to play after 8PM PST or will I be locked out until official launch at 12:01AM PST? The launch is at 12:01 am EST,which is 11:01 pm cst and 9:01 pm PST. The 8;00 pm pst looks to be a typo and should be 9:00pm.

amcdermo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 you need to pay for a month of time in order to get your free month. they gave everyone a 2 day grace period for shipping issues. You have to add a payment method and select a subscription plan but you don't pay unless you don't cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdluke Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Everything's synced to EST as our official 'go' time. That means that yes, you'll be able to play after 9PM PST (12AM EST/5AM GMT/6AM CET). Bear in mind, we'll see a rush of players right then. Edit: confused by my own timezones! That should be 9PM PST, not 8PM (EST -3 hours). Corrected original post. Sorry! thanks for the response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsebastian Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 you need to pay for a month of time in order to get your free month. they gave everyone a 2 day grace period for shipping issues. Nope they only authorize your card for $1 to make sure it is valid then you get your free month after your first 30 days then they will start to charge you for the subscription!! No offense intended just a correction:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be some kind of confusion. If the game will launch at 12:01am EST, then the PST wouldn't be able to play until 9pm PST NOT 8pm. There is only a 3 hour difference between West and East coast. Or am I missing something? You may want to post a correction before the rage posters on here start to lose their minds over this...

No offense intended just a correction:) Then I hope the paypal issue for subscriptions has been fixed (since it's currently not working). And as for the queues? I'm kinda hoping they do allow some transfers to even things out, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucias Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Paypal is fixed because I have my recurring Sub ready to go. Wish they would address the damn Queue issues though. Re-rolling is not an option for most players, our first and main character is our identity and we have put too much effort into it already. Transfers (free or paid) and remove the underclock on your server populations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithjunky Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) The Fatman needs to improve. My guild was assigned to that server and its too good to just up and leave it to go to a less populated server. Easy solution to that is give out free character transfers from that server to select underpopulated / new servers to even out the population. That way Players who want to change servers can and the players that need to stay dont have to wait an hour in que, lag to death and deal with the ninja looting jerks on quests ( as much >.>) Edited December 19, 2011 by sithjunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberion Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Will there be a day one patch? Possibly one that let's us turn on AA and change the view distance to something other than max without having to futs around with an .ini file? ^^^ THIS ^^^ I actually want to turn up all the eyecandy I can. Does anyone have all the .ini graphics settings posted somewhere if there is not a patch to add more graphics controls? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayNal Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Tonight at 12:01AM EST we are officially launching Star Wars: The Old Republic. Even with these additional servers we are expecting queues on the most popular servers, and these queues are likely to persist for a while yet. We are monitoring them closely and raising population caps where necessary, however this is a careful process that is ongoing. Our servers do not have unlimited populations and we want every server to have a healthy population during and after launch. If you are joining the game for the first time during this launch period, or if you are looking for a lower population server to play on, now is the best time to create a character on a new server. We would strongly advise anyone joining the game to not attempt to create a new character on a server that is listed as 'Full', unless you are comfortable with the potential for queues to enter the server. We would strongly advise anyone joining the game to not attempt to create a new character on a server that is listed as 'Full'[/b], unless you are comfortable with the potential for queues to enter the server Please don't be one of these who wants to join a Full server, our Ques are already long enough Edited December 19, 2011 by JayNal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemetos Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 you need to pay for a month of time in order to get your free month. they gave everyone a 2 day grace period for shipping issues. Not true. You get 1 month of game time when you purchase the game, then after the 1st month you have the recurring fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeoquinn Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 why do maintance at a prime time though This is what I was wondering - why do the maintenance with 90% of your player population is going to want to be online, enjoying the game?

ianhatcher Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It's so funny reading people post to stay away from "their server" or offer free transfers off "their server" so people can leave and free up the queue for them. ROFL... how about YOU re-roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulduet Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 More servers? That worries me. Sure i don't like queues but... in a month, how will the game look? I wouldn't want to be stuck on a ghost server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reom Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I really hope that when the servers come back online, Taris will actually be playable. Getting lagged out and stuck every time I open the map or select anything on the mission log is really annoying, and has made the planet unplayable.
