You try to bring your segway/scooter/motorcycle/smart car inside the mall to travel around faster, OR.... You climb into the driver's seat of a parked taxi cab thinking you can just drive off in it.

If you can keep Quinn out of trouble, you can probably tank for live folks easier. They're better at going defensive to allow you to get aggro back. Back to the socializing, being a mediocre tank (like me) isn't that bad, so long as you don't pretend you're good at it and then mess up. Most of the groups I've been with are fine with a green tank, as long as they know I'm green before they've run their combo and run aggro beyond the tank's ability to pull.

So...if Sith Wyrm is being offered a transfer to Corellian Run, I got to ask, is Older Republic/Empire transferring? I'm asking because my family (real life, not just legacy) is on Thana Vesh, and we've been offered Corellian Run as well. "In my youth, I argued that algebra was useless after college. Then I became a programmer. This is proof that I, in fact, did NOT have all the answers back then, either."

LOL! Personally, I prefer the metaphor about going to a house of ill repute and then complaining one doesn't feel loved.....

I asked on one RP server I'd rolled on. The answer the player gave was that the server wasn't an RP server in the beginning, and only became designated RP after launch. That meant it was mainly a PVE server, regardless of how it was labeled.

In general I agree. I'm not complaining about transferring, other than the strange glitch where I actually show 9 toons on one of the servers.... That said, I felt that the server transfers were a bit of a false choice. My group discussed staying, for the very reason that everyone one else would leave and we'd have a very light pop server all to ourselves. Then we realized that the servers folks are leaving from are quite likely slated for closure. Again, I fully agree that the decision to transfer was made by us. We could have stayed anyway and waited the server out.

Looking at the lists, I think I've played all of them except Star Wars Galaxies. First Star Wars game was the coin-op X-Wing game. Whoops, scratch that, never owned an N64, I went from Atari to Commodore to PC.

I remember that one! Played it until the disc broke, then managed to get it to copy and played off the copy.

Most importantly, it's human nature that while a tiny subset of folks who like the game might be motivated to post, almost every single person with a complaint will be motivated to do so. First career job, back in the 80's, warned us that happy people tell an average of three people; unhappy people tell an average of 15 people. At a 5 to 1 ratio, 80% customer satisfaction will SOUND like 50%. 20% unhappy make as much noise as 80% happy do. That was just word of mouth. Nowadays the internet allows unhappy folks the ability to shout at the entire world, while happy folks are too busy playing the game to care about the forums. P.S. I love the game, but my usual group has been ambushed by real life, and I don't want to get out of synch. That means surfing the forums while I wait.

I've played them some, usually when I'm waiting for my group to get on. I agree that marketing exists to exaggerate, but... My kids love the space mission. I have no idea how many hours my teen has logged in his Fury.

Oh wow, I can remember upgrading McConnel AFB from 300baud to 1200baud modems, back in the days when your hardware whistled and chirped for several seconds before you could do anything. Remember how cool it was when 5 1/4 floppies meant never having to pray the cassette tape failed to load?

Asus G73JH. Running swtor (as well as the Mass Effects, Crysis, AoC, etc.) with everything maxed. The catch? You may not be able to find that specific model, it's pretty old. I did a quick search, and the newer models in that line fall around your price range, with the latest and greatest (G75VW) listed on Amazon at 1700. I assume that the later models perform even better than the one I have, but you may want to check reviews to make certain there aren't any lemons in the family tree.

That's just because us guys are easily offensive. (ba dum bum CHING)

The latter. Have you forgotten WW2? Peaceful is capable of great violence when provoked, because once the line is crossed, there isn't a limit to the violence. Diverse means unpredictable, and "local political dynasties" are decentralized and much harder to occupy. The real threat in conflicts like that is the old saw about the abyss staring back into you, and the latter becoming the former out of fear and paranoia.
