I played SW TOR last night

Happy that I got the first day of early access.

Created my Imperial Agent - Zagel on the Jedi Covenant server.

The nice thing is I had some friends also online last night.

Beta Weekend & Great Sniper Blog

After my experience on the Beta Weekend I will be playing this game, how much life I have after to continue to play Rift will have to be seen. 

During the weekend I played
  • Agent (Operative)
  • Sith Inquisitor (Sorceror)
  • Sith Warrior
  • Jedi Knight
  • Jedi Consular
  • Bounty Hunter
  • Smuggler
Hmm looks like I never really got around to the Trooper.

Anyway, while the Jedi were good, it seemed a little but dull. I felt I had to be nice for the character type but may change that up in live now that I now the depth of options available.  Its really tough not to be nice on the Jedi Characters though. 

Didnt play much on the Sith Warrior or Bounty Hunter, not sure why I liked the looks of the class and would definatly have one just to see thier storylines.

Sith Inquisitor was my second favourite next to the Agent.  Got both of these to about lvl 15 playing the story on both.

I will happily admit the one thing that really got to me, how much I cared for these two.  For the SI I had never felt that much annoyance at an NPC in a game before I really hoped we would have the chance to kill Harken.

For the agent being like Bond but more evil was great.  Exactly how I wanted to play my SWG character,  I cannot fault the story line, whatever else this game may or may not have, they have excelled at the story.


If you click on the link below, you will get to a great Sniper BLOG, obviously still in beta so info may change but if he keeps up this quality well worth reading.

Waiting for Release

Not really done this before but wll try to keep this up to date with my adventures in Star Wars The Old Republic.

A little about me;
I have played a few MMORPG before, EQ2, Vanguard, Rift, Guild Wars, LoTR, Champions, WoW and most importnantly the one that really got me started Star Wars Galaxies (SWG).

I wanted to play SWG so much I had a subscription before I found out my computer couldnt play it and during the several months it took me to get a computer to play the game. 

I have always loved Star Wars, if it's not the movies its the books, not the books its the computer games.

I got into SWG just after my friends left due to the Combat Upgrade, didnt matter to me it was still a great game. Loved being a Ranger and Bounty Hunter.  Still wanted to play even with the next horrible change to gameplay but all it did was take me out of the ground combat and into space more.

I became a crafter on the alt they now allowed and spent my time finding the best metal to harvest and making the best ship parts I could. I became very weathly with this, I like to think other people thought my stuff was good too.

As part of making Starships you also make houses, this bought out a side I hadn't expected and I loved decorating the houses I had (previously for storage only) with the Trophies and awards.

If the guild and my friends still played this game I would be there now.

Over all the games I have played I love playing ranged characters.  Zagel was my first Ranger in EQ2 and have tried to keep the name in most MMO I have played (Vanguard the odd exception, where I was Torgoch, no idea why).
