To tell myself to level more toons to 50 before the server merges to retain more of my names that I got during head-start and not to quit when I did back in June.

I've noticed a few graphical glitches like when your riding the taxi around Coruscant, it flashes / disappears and makes you look like you are flying in a sit down position. This did not heppen before.  I have not spotted any improvements whatsoever, and the last couple of days the lag gets horrendous and keep getting logged out every other minute or freezing and getting killed if it happend in the middle of battle.

Your story changes. First you blatently rip into SWTOR as the orgin of the issues with no mention of anything outside of that...

So it is either Hurricane Sandy or bad routing from US to UK, but US to US should be no problem

and then roll around to blaming it on either Sandy or bad transatlantic routing but your not sure which. This is why I'm responding to your original attack on the game. It appears your not sure what is what but that didn't prevent your original negative post did it?

Ok I've wasted enough time on this, time to get back to playing SWTOR, take care!

It is hit and miss, as you can play a few hours without anythig happening. It has only been happening this week and putting it down to after effects from Sandy than EAs shoddy servers, but then no other MMO has been suffering though that I have been playing.

It may have nothing to do with SWTOR or their servers too. It might be due your ISP, your local network, your PC etc. Last weekend I was having constant disconnects while playing GW2 but I didn't automatically assume it was on their end, no one else was complaining and with a few network tests I discovered the interruptions with originating from my ISP.

You haven't mentioned anything you've done to isolate the origin or cause of the network interruptions, just that it was while playing SWTOR, and so automatically assumed that it was on their end, or at least thats what your original post infers. What tests did you do to isolate the cause?

I'd be more inclined to play this again if I knew how many of my character names I lost.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell without subscribing?

I think the items would detract from the immersion in GW2. WoW on the other hand lost it's aherance to lore along time ago so it would fit in better there.

If they offered cool items in-line with the sytle of the game i'd be more interested then but as-is I won't touch them. The crafting boosters are most likely the things I would purchase if the crafting skill-up curve slows down substiantially toward end game.

That said,yes,once a company nails that proverbial sandbox G-spot,all the big boys will be jumping in to get a peice of that action.Maybe one of the big boys (Blizzard,EA,Trion,Sony,Turbine..etc) will be the one to do it,I think it'd be awesome if it was some small unknown company like a CCP.

My concern is that some company (like SOE) would take notice of this game and buy out Repop and turn it into a pile of crap. SOE imparticular has an uncanny talent for turning gold into feces. I really hope the folks at Above and Beyond Technologies don't fall for that trap and stay true to their original goals.

SWG: the fond memories of running with a group all the way to a tusken village (before they changed the tusken behavior/respawn rate). It was a massive fire fight between us and them and it went on for hours. Good times!

AO: The expanse of this game and the ambiance... many fond memories of emerging from a mission in the sewers district of Omni entertainment, just to be greeted by the awesome dual suns in the sky.

I miss these two games the most.

Nope, not me either. But then again I can't seem to interest my self in any race other then Charr.
