Hi just this http://www.swtor.com/blog/what%E2%80%99s-next-old-republic

• New Content – We will be adding new content to the galaxy on an ongoing basis. These worlds will include Operations, Flashpoints and solo content.
• Guild Functionality – Guilds are important to the long term health of any MMORPG. We have a huge list of guild centric features. This will be an ongoing effort that will probably never end. Guild banks are the first thing we’ll be delivering in our plans for increased guild functionality. Eventually we even want to deliver on the promise of the long hinted at “Guild Capital Ships”.
• UI customization – You like choice. We hear you! SWTOR is all about choice. Being able to choose how you interact with an online game is something we feel is very important. We are going to be giving more control over the UI as an ongoing effort. This is a very big priority for us.
• PvP – We have an entire team dedicated to adding content and features to player vs. player. We have some of the most experienced PvP developers in the world on this team. So far very few people have seen, or know much about the stunning Open World PVP on Ilum; when you get to the high levels prepare to be blown away! In addition to that high level PVP content, expect new Warzones and new PvP features on a regular basis.
• Space Combat – We will continue to add missions to the space game. We also have a special project going on right now that will expand space gameplay in a significant way... for now the details will have to remain under wraps.
• Legacy System – The ability to select a surname for your character is just the start of something much bigger. Soon, the Legacy experience and levels you earn will grant your characters access to powers, objects and other cool benefits.
• And more – We have an entire team of developers working on future content. Right now we are focused on nothing else but Star Wars: The Old Republic, so expect new and cool things.

Its bad ea support from what I understand is not done here in the u.s so that makes it even worse some people had problems with paypal payments to battilefield 3 and still til this day hasnt been solved you guys could try there twitter account https://twitter.com/swtor

There was another topic about this here but it got locked for whatever reason - so I'm bringing this one over.  I think this is one of the biggest problems with SWTOR right now and it doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves. The simple fact that the world just FEELS lifeless and static. Let me give a few examples:

1. Cities and social hubs - Running through these feels like a library or graveyard, not a bustling hub of activity. Why? Because the npc's are so static - like statues. There is hardly any ambient npc chatter, conversation, or sound (I heard 1 random npc conversation in 2 weekends of testing), and most of them are just stuck in place. You also can't interact with any npc's, unless they are a questgiver, for a small sentence or two of conversation like in other mmo's or the KOTOR games.  There are a few examples of npc's "doing something", but those are in the great minority and even many of those are static in their actions (jedi meditating for example). 

2. Mobs - A very high percentage of mobs just stand in place also, including non-aggro mobs. There is very little scripting / pathing for mobs in this game.

3. Critters / world creatures - Where are they? It's something you don't even really notice till they aren't there, but this game is severely lacking in them. The few that are there are also just stuck in place like statues.

4. Music / sound effects - There are large amounts of time with no music, which I think should be increased. It could also help if there were added ambient sound effects in the game (birds chirping, bugs, npc chatter as discussed earlier, etc).

All of this combined = a very static and lifeless world.

The argument that "this is how all mmo's are" doesn't work at all, as many AAA mmo's over the last 5-8 years have had great ambient atmosphere, npc acitivty, npc conversations, and lots of creatures running around. 

Hopefully Bioware addresses this. The story, voice acting and cut scenes add a great deal of immersion, now if they can just get the rest of the game up to speed it would be awesome.

I tottally agree with you on all things I really do hope bioware changes it and adds more life to the game at least after launch and the major bugs are worked out. it honstly would tottally suck if they didnt care about stuff like that.

One of the only games were I get to play with my 6 year old son he's loves the pets and we enjoy playing together a very simple and fun game to play some of the monters are lots of fun spells are nice and it really makes you feel like a wizard.

Cool if you got any left I would love one too thanks. :)

My thoughts exactly  The game is very disappointing to me  se doesn't give a crap about us there going to do it the way they want  too and that's it. the whole thing about going to speak to a person then going to a crystal to start  continuing your quest? at least for me I did not like this idea at all. I really miss the old days of  ff back when square Enix was just squaresoft .

I  never liked how John Smedley took sony he needs to be replaced all he has done is destroyed everything. John you can t make more money the way you run things this is nothing personal I do not wish anyone the worse. or there family but I would like him to move on to other company and let a new face, mind take over one that cares for players.

HI again guys  just posting again so someone sees it in case anybody missed mine.  would also like a buddy key for na servers if possible.  zealwing @ yahoo.com spaced out @ for spam thanks guys and gals.

I honestly did not expect this at all!! this came as a  huge surprise to me! this is big news.

At least for people who have been with funcom for a long time since ao. Craig's involvement will definitely change the game for the better.

I really don't understand the why some of  you guys say its to late for  the game. now I refuse to believe that. they do still have time to make this game better, for a lot of people. and Im sure people will come back if they fix the problems and add the continent people want. so Godager  resigning from aoc is  a good thing, the game needs new fresh eyes on the project and moved things for the better.

HI all when I first heard of this game I was so much looking forward to it I liked the art style also but When i actually started to  play.

I Just didn't like the feel of the city at all like many have said the game feels to confined very small world,  at least in the begging and why in the hell did they pick the Eberron setting I have no freaking clue out of all the d&d settings! hopfully one day we will get a really awseome d&d mmo in a better setting.

HI all just wanted to say that I played many mmorpgs and I have noticed even since  I got a wireless g card I have been getting lag in every game I play.

When I'm hard wired with a cat3 network cable I'm fine so you might want to check out the router or wireless card. or just hook it up directly to the modem or router.

FC is well known to "exploit" their employees. That said, Norwegian laws is more strict than those in the states or GB. As I understand it from x-employees is that it's a good environment for gamers (you can play games during workours etc). This article for a couple of years ago confirm that you don't get paid for overtime.

 

Almost every company exploits there workers thats unfortuantly the world we live in.

There has to be invisible walls the that's were the zone ends I do agree they should cover it up with a mountain or something in anarchy online they have theses sort of invisible walls were go on too the next zone as far as I can tell aoc is just like anarchy online just a more advance version. its not a big deal to me as long as the zones are big enough but that is just a limit of the system it isnt to me like they really want walls its just very hard not having something like that.

There was one not sure if its still there havent played for long time the shadowlands world is very dirffent then the normal world in ao.

Wow!! I remember that game I was really looking forward to it too! sucks it was dropped,  but aoc took over that one, I also have been waiting for secret world, for awhile now, so that one is interesting, but I do have to wonder, how Midgard would have been like.

DrBadlove, the only one that can truly answer that question is you but the game does have repetition like most mmos regarding some of the missions only the biggest con to me about coh.

I really love the game and the combat is fast and fun the character creator alone  will have you spend countless of days and hours with making your characters truly different you might hate the game or you might for in love with it the only way is to dig in and play it.

lol it depends were you are! at the right place at the right time I never really had any issuses with anybody in teams I joined up with, sometimes you can get some really strange people playing and of course you get some bad days so yes to your question.

Like the other guys here suggested the most popular are freedom virtue  I personally play on freedom virtue and victory.

I too was really hoping for this game to be good after waiting so long for it but like always I just couldnt get into this game as some of you pointed out it got exremly boring I dont mean to be harsh there wil be other people who will like it but Im gonna pass on this one.
