Seems like my bad feeling was justified, SWTOR will not be released in SA. You can import a copy for between R850-00 and R1000-00 if you want but theres no guarantee that it will work. Yes there is. They have stated over and over again there will be no ip blocks. They are restricting the sales but ...

F2p build are live on holodeck from 2011-12-01. F2p launch still in january so if you play now you still need to sub for a month. You dont need to buy a copy as the launcher can now be downloaded from the STO site. Only need to pay for key. After January 17 whole game is free. I have played the week...

What about just paying for it on Origin? After all you need origin installed I believe. But I will post my thoughts if they haven't just decided to kick me out of the beta after inviting. "Sorry, have a free game" I would settle for though. Because of the big "hooha" about origi...

Hope this works

Too much hype. Its not going to be Star Wars as we know it. OR It's a play on the only line that was used in all the movies. Well, unlike most other MMO games, the SW galaxy history and everything that sets the tone and flavor are all pre-existing, with a massive cult following. George Lucas have a...

New patch on Friday broke the launcher autoupdate again. I had to reinstall and download all the patches again. For some reason STO is ignoring all my back-ups.

F2P launch date announced. It is 2012-01-17. Still gives me time to get my tribble toon to Captain 1 so that I can claim the 80 000 refined delithium reward. Also one of the vet rewards is an android boff.

Currently playing the f2p beta. It is basically the same with here and there a few tweaks. I am a Lt Com 4 now and have yet to encounter a bug. I am doing everything except pvp. The delithium system also works great.

You can play the free game, but can't upgrade if your in SA. Someone I know registered an overseas windows Live ID and did something with his IP and he managed to upgrade.

Hi, Yes the f2p news is big. There is alot of anger about it but the majority is all for it. Im a lifer so I dont care either way. The difference between Gold(Lifer & Sub) and silver (f2p) is almost non existent. As a free player you have access to all game content. For the past 2 months there a...

Cancelled WOW and Rift, Only game I'm playing now is STO.

I have a bad feeling about this game. Motivate please? Or is this one of those arbitrary comments with no substance, "because you don't know, but just feel so"..? :roll: If you take the time to go through their official site with trailers, and I am not just talking about cinematics, I ref...

I have a bad feeling about this game.

Was a frustrating week with dc's and extreme lag. By Thursday I was able to login and play without problems. The new featured episode is one of the best in the game at the moment. you actually have to stop and think. I tried one of the UGC episodes too and it was also good. All in all the game accor...

Last night when I tried to log in I couldn't. After about 25 minutes the launcher opened with a message that due to the high volume of players some web services are not available and you might have issues logging in. Is everyone coming back for the 1 year party? Seems like STO is still going strong.

Got a new uniform for Christmas. DS9 1st season.

Started with episode reruns last night. Rewards is the same with an extra BO here or weapon there. You can also do the weekly episodes again and get extra weapons. Crafting is also much better and actually gives you something usefull.

Season 3 was another big download. For some reason it kept crashing while downloading but I am up to date now. I am in Kempton Park if you want to copy the files.

Lots of new stuff in c-store. I currently play cata but try to login at least once a week. I mostly do RP now. When the episode reruns come out with the new rewards I will spend more time in game again.

Did that new boss in Tol Barad 10 man last night. Hit around 9k dps on the trash. Couldn't do the boss as I kept getting dc'd. It was a guild run. Haven't done heroics yet but in normal dungeons around 5.8 to 6k dps. I play a sv hunter. Gear avg ilvl is 326 atm so not hc ready yet.

Theres white foxes in ruins of gilneas. Foxes play skill is awesome.

Cryptic didn't disappoint with new weekly series end. You get a TOS rifle and a TOS phaser. If your a klink you can choose a disruptor pistol. Last episode is also on the difficult side so if you solo it prepare to see yourself blow up alot.

New weekly episode out. Judging from the previous series this one started with a bang. Great reward again too. If you have low lvl captains the rewards scale with your level. Hope Cryptic keep it up.

Happiness is a mini-pet. STO got its first mini-pet and it is one of the best I have seen in a game. Hope there is more.

The old PC vs Console debate. I recently upgraded my PC. Last console I bought was a PS one in 2002. Consoles just cannot deliver the same quality in gaming that a PC does. I can go play games on my PC anytime, but if the TV is being used by someone in the house then you have to wait. If you use ano...
