  1. Everyone saying "I hope someone gets fired for this" ... I'm actually wondering if someone did not already get fired, and didn't have access cut or was properly escorted from the building? lol
  2. Except for when your map doesn't fade! I just went enter the chat function and mapped both ENTER and \ to start chat. End of problems for me
  3. on US keyboards its backslash \, above enter. It can be rebound to other functions, I've done it - but it seems to be fickle. On other format keyboards, it's where ~ is, whether or not that is a tilde key on those boards, I am not sure, but I would assume that it's a backslash there too.
  4. What does WASD have to do with it? It can be accidentally pressed when trying to chat with someone, or accidentally pressed when trying to hit hotkey1, depending on what regional keyboard version you use.
  5. I managed to get that sucker unbound! Have to go into another function and bind that function to the key in question. For US keyboards it's \ above ENTER.
  6. My only regret about mine is that after selecting it, I found out it is the same last name as one of the first companions that can be gotten on my opposing faction. I kind of don't like that.
  7. I didn't realize there were spectators... I mean I heard them. But I'm playing the match, never stopped to look.
  8. If you like listening to SWTOR podcasts, please check this one out. A buddy and me sat down and recorded our very first episode last night. Please let me know what you think. (There are some volume, low-levels issues with it but its still listenable. I have already got that figured out for the next episode....) http://outerrimradio.com
  9. Diablo and Warcraft didn't have 100s and 1000s of players all connecting to the same world. IIRC Diablo had maybe 4 people who could connect to each other at once, same for Warcraft. It's the same reason you see the normal FPS games have 8 to 64 player matches. Anything more than that and the P2P starts to get to slow to work. Think about it, if everyone on my SWTOR server was connecting to the machine I use to play? There would be no such thing as frames per second. It'd be a still picture. Games like TOR have thousands of people that can all interact on one server. It's not limited to 4 at any given time like Diablo was.
  10. That peer to peer technology isn't strong enough to support this type of game and it never will be, because it relies on YOUR hardware, rather than the game dev's hardware.
  11. I played LOTRO from launch as a standard sub based game to well after they launched their Free to play model. I am a lifetime member which means I paid $199 for an active account for the entire life of the game. In order to take a newly created free to play account and get all the same content I get with my lifetime account, I would have ended up spending a couple hundred bucks, if not more, over that $199 price. Now LOTRO still offers both the sub and f2p models, and if you are planning on staying in the game for any meaningful amount of time (6months or more for an MMO, at least), paying the subscription is the cheapest option. F2P models are pure revenue generation to the extreme for Developers.
  12. I have a barely used Monopoly board game I can sell to you. Edit to add: its the INDIANA JONES! version. Edit to add again: I think I might have a STAR WARS! one too. I'll have to check when I get home.
  13. I've played AC, DAOC, AO, SB, SWG, LOTRO, AOC, WAR, etc., etc., They are all MMOs. I'd like to think I am fairly good at spotting them. Saying TOR is not an MMO boggles my mind.
  14. $15 a month for a game that last me years... $60 every two weeks for a game that I can probably get through in days...
