Looks like it'll be worth a try. However one of the videos you got on YouTube, for some entirely unfathomable reason you decided to put an Evanessence song over the action. You are uploading these onto YouTube for promotional purposes intending to make a profit on this game, right? If so, I think the RIAA might not look too kindly on it if you're not paying royalties. It would be better to stick with the game music, I would think.

That's got everything the OP asked for but having your own house, as near as I can tell from the closed beta.

I remember back in SWG Image Designers could change your appearance but were also used to change your base stats.  When "I don't care what I look like" PvP kiddies would get ID'ed and be rude to the ID'er, sometimes they'd mess up their face while waiting on the timer to make the change.  And since these guys were always wearing a helmet, it would be a long time before they ever noticed.  When they did, they'd always suddenly get an interested in their toon's appearance

And to whomever cited dumpster diving...come on.  All companies have shred-boxes now.  Nobody throws anything away in a normal garbage bin anymore if their company works with anything that would ever have competition.

Keep in mind that sometimes hospitals amputate the wrong limb.  Irregardless of procedure and general competence of the firm, every now and then someone farks up.  I'm not saying its legit, I'm just saying it could happen.

further in-game inflation( This economy is horrible. 50 million for SEA. Are you crazy!?)

And the devs say decay will never come back.  Hope the current players enjoy their RMT-based economy.

This is the *community team*...you know the glorified forum moderators. None of these people have any influence on development so it doesn't matter what game they play.

Yep.  What I was going to say.

Easy mode yes. BH is the only profession that has the whole available range of utility skills and popular expertise abilities within one expertise build. Very good resistance debuff, snares, AoE, dps, sprint , snare immunity, very good innate armour bonus and shields . No other profession can do this at the moment within one expertise build, some dont even have enough skills to counter this. It is simply unbalanced.

My BH when I left had sprint, armor break, and shields but I also didn't have any of the debuffs because I ran out of points.

Can I get a two sentence summary of this?  I seriously can't be bothered to read the whole thing.  It seems like you're taking up a page to say something that can be in a paragraph and when I tried to read it I found myself thinking about butterflies.  Sorry.

Can I just say as a pretty regular contributor to these forums but with no connection to the OP that this post was amongst the most crass and yet also the most dull I have ever read here? If you're incable of adding anything constructive to one of the more serious, more interesting threads on these forums, then please don't contribute. Thank you.

I was simply pointing out the advantages of brevity.  Excuse me for ruining your Internet.

EDIT  Allow me to clarify, since you've missinterpreted me.  I requested that the OP restate it in a way that would allow me to better understand his statement.  Then I made a self-effacing comment at my own expense to poke fun at myself and lighten the mood.  Perhaps next time you shouldn't automatically assume the most negative thing you can think of.

Nevermind, I found the key statement there. 

"What if the pre-cu version of the game had never existed and the game had been like its current state when I started, would I have liked the game?  Would I have continued playing it as long as I played?"

Well I for one did indeed "forget" preCU and attempted to look at the game through fresh eyes.  I gave it quite a long time to make a positive impression on me.  There were some things I liked but more that I dislike, or more accurately, were indifferent too.

The biggest gripe I have on the game right now is that it does nothing to distinguish itself.  All those unique features others tout are things left in from preCU.  Everything else has been homogonized so much that it might as well be called "Industry Standard MMO; SciFi/Fantasy Edition."

I can get the same game experience from the free MMO's out there.  Why should I pay money for something that offers nothing more than what I can get for free?

Hey Rejad,

Even Hello Kitty Roller Rescue for the Gamecube (a game system that's no longer manufactured) ranks better than SWG at #4,782.

Cool.  Hello Kitty is teh awesome.

Run ten missions a day for the XP payouts and grind.  You can do the occasional quest on Kash starting around 60ish but a lot of them aren't very soloable and require space and won't carry you very far.  Around 80 you can hit Must till about 85 or so.  If you can find someone to help you then after 85 do one of the themeparks.  Then grind some more.  You haven't found any other info because there isn't any other info. 

If that sounds crappy, and it is, please go voice your opinion on the official forum.

PvP balance isn't such a big issue if there are other things in the game to do.  And even in PvP there are ways to diversify it.  Some builds are good at dueling, some at group battle.  There are other ways to gain balance than just trying to make all the skills the same.

Honestly I think the lack of bugs, overall polish, and low spec requirements are what made the game.  I really emphasis the low spec deal, almost anyone can run the game.  Think about it; more people have old computers than new ones and even those that have new ones don't have the best graphics rigs.  From the get go games like Vanguard lose a huge chunk of potential audience by just what type of computer you need to run it.  All in all, WoW doesn't just have the largest number of subscribers, it also has the largest POTENTIAL player base of just about any other MMO out there save EQ1.

- just out of curiousity, what would a 19 year old need a cc for? i dont know if this is normal in America... certainly not here.. maybe when u work but u are in college right?

Its not uncommon here, especially for college students.  There's always these guys that set up booths in the common areas of the universities with cheap giveaway junk to entice people to come over and fill out credit card apps.  Hell man, this America, credit cards come complementary with a super-sized kids meal.

The openess reminds me a bit of old SWG.  I like games where I'm not railroaded into a class and choose what skills I want instead.

Cash shops suck but this one doesn't seem too bad actually.  The only real necessity is for rebirth cards and in the long run it is cheaper than sub games.  Of course there are other things you can buy but I have the impression that most are unnecessary, like new hairstyles and such.
