God, I haven't been here in ages. And logged in at the same time, that is. >_> Sorry for not keeping in touch. Well, finally stopping by to say hello!

How are you guys holding up? Been trying to catch someone at the server, but it always seem to be either offline or empty.

Monthly fee? If so, I might just stay away from it lol.

Yeah it'll have a fee. It would either be that or have a store, which in my opinion ends up costing more because you have to buy so much stuff to get the full experience. If its too expensive for some people, that's understandable.

Nice to see you stop by! You should come by more often! :)

I will indeed come here more often!
Not completely unexpected about the fee though, but I'm not so sure if I'm willing to pay every month (the game has to be REALLY good if I am going to pay, which World of Warcraft, Champions Online, etc... weren't.)

By the way, I just noticed that I can see a couple of boards that I probably shouldn't be able to see. If someone could fix this, it would be awesome. (No, I have not entered those boards)

Edit: Thanks!

I can definitely understand not wanting to pay. I'll pay because I want a game to play with JO again and I love Star Wars. If it wasn't a star wars game, I wouldn't really be interested.

I fixed your permissions. You were still in moderation and creativity according to the board. Can you still see them?

Nope, they're gone now. Thank you, Master Ekul!

Well, now that you're saying it, I might actually buy it if JO completely converts to TOR. It just depends on the fees, and also how active you guys will be there. Could any of you link to a nice video explaining how the saber fighting system will work? I doubt it will be like JKA (or "awesome", as I'd like to call it) but I still want something more than the ordinary "Right click once, then spam spells" style controls.

That's pretty old, but from the new Taral V videos (the flashpoint released at PAX east), it does look like traditional MMO gameplay, with some variations perhaps. There won't be the same kind of saber dueling that we have in JKA though. Not at all as far as I know. But its bioware so it will probably be pretty good. They will probably have a free trial and open beta where you can try it though.
