VoN was added after release. It was MOD 1 I believe.  TS was included at release.

BTW, I'm also enjoying the hell out of TOR especially after switching servers.  I'm a bit disappointed Ranked PvP slipped from 1.2 but otherwise I'm psyched to get home and try 1.2.  We are hitting EC at 9 tonight should be fun.  Two majot content releases since December sets a good trend especially considering the in between updates usually are fairly hefty too.

Was thinking Tempest Spine was included in the original, but in my memory it was closed so often, sometimes it slips into the "second raid added" spot somehow. Also, VoN was the first module, you are correct. I remember that clearly because of all the excitement of it actually becoming Dungeons and DRAGONS then.

As for 1.2, I'm having fun playing with the silly toys they added that do next to nothing, like the family tree, and the ability to boost yourself with all four class buffs if you've gotten through the storylines of the four different classes. Even made a republic character to try out how they work on the opposite faction. It gives you the appropriate buff for your faction, even if you got the bonus from the other faction.

Of course, the computer I started on took about 12 hours to update, because of some silly bug with the updater, so didn't have much time to play.

This computer I'm on now managed to finish the patch in less time than it took for me to grab and eat breakfast.

Huh...

http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20120412-1


I suppose this could make for some interesting conversation.

Highlights:

Anybody with an activate account on April 12, 2012 ,12:00PM CDT, 5:00PM GMT or April 21, 2012, 12:00PM CDT, 5:00PM GMT gets a free tauntaun.

Anybody with an active account and level 50 character on April 12th, 2012 at 12:00PM CDT / 5:00PM GMT gets a free month of play time.

Anybody who said fuck this shit and left can try it again between April 13th, 2012 at 12:01AM CDT / 5:01AM GMT through April 19th, 2012 at 11:59PM CDT / April 20th, 2012 at 4:59AM GMT.

I'm not. The failfest continues beyond 1.2. Also the fact that they are sending folks emails letting them play for free until the 20th reeks of BW trying to pad  numbers for another fiscal report.


Fuck that, D3 comes out in a month which should keep me busy for a little bit. I'm not picky or looking the the next 'best thing' to play, just something to do on my downtime.

Nope, I logged in to see what 1.2 was all about.  It isn't anything worth sticking around for.

Gratz...  we are up to the final boss on SM but our progression got set back a bit by some attrition prior to 1.2.

If you're having issues on Kephess 8m switch to 16m. Its so ez even CKN could do it. Pulsars have the same health on 8 and 16, Kephess only has 100k more HP, Walker has barely more also, Gift of the Masters does no damage lawl. 16m is a snooze fest. Don't even need to tank swap if you treat him like Karagga.

We're streaming 8m HM tonight on MMOmechanics channel if you wana watch. Also if you have mumble or something I can hop in and give any advice if you want. Just PM me.

I made 50 a few times.  Two were full rakata and two full battlemaster.  I didn't get a free month though, my account is inactive.

I'm still playing. I tried to quit a month or so ago and went back into DDO. The graphics in SWTOR, particularly in relation to DDO, are superb. There's a heavy emphasis on pvp (I've been on Jedi Covenant, there's The Hand of the Black Tower and Twilight Avengers, there).

Ideal would be a setting the size of SWTOR, Character Creation and Combat from DDO and boy, do I miss being able to teleport.
  

The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

Travel is a bitch.  Having Security vendor fleet passes helps.  I'm hoping for a Bracelet of Friends type legacy unlock.

They could as well depilate their legs, it will have the same effect to me. I have so much of absolute no time, the 6 hours week DDO must be enough.

I really have to tip my hat to you though. It is absolutley clear that you will actually be the last person playing the star wars MMO on this planet.

But worry not young Padoowan !! For the universe will be yours.... all wrapped up in a tiny wad of nobody gives a shit.... OOOO goood for you.

Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test.
Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards.

And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time.
Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya.
So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

It's nice having a fan/stalker.  You want me to send you a picture.  Although I am disappointed my stalker is autistic.

To be fair, SWTOR will happily take your money even when you are the last one playing.
