If a man is judged by his fans, then I pity you, Eladiun. In TOR related news, I'm having a lot of fun as well. Especially Monday, when I got to see my server (Corellian Run, for those who care) grow in in leaps and bounds, until there were more people in the Imperial Fleet than there are in all of Rifts. (Yeah, I know, not a big achievement) Was awesome listening to guild commentary, until I went to the fleet try to get some flashpoints done. Oh, man, the spam was insane! Thousands of people all shouting for guilds, groups, and random chatter all at once! Definitely was amusing trying to keep track of it all.

	I logged in and found I was 1 of 6 people on the server! Then I transferred all my guys to the new server. Then, I went to bed because I was bored.

	I don't remember where I'm on now... I was on Trask Ulgo and followed my guild moving somewhere else. Anyway, a Merge is a Merge is a Merge is a Merge, be it forced or done at your will. 6 Month and it's already merge time, not good... DDO Europe lasted at least a Year and a half before they merged the 5 servers into 2. Oh and as I'm bored to death doing Fed-Ex quests, I'm not spending a lot of time in SWTOR... DDO Patch day was my first day since the Server Merge... as DDO was down.

	majmalphunktion wrote on Apr 26^th, 2014 at 11:06pm: 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.

	So I tried the f2p out. You have to close within like 50 feet or so to shoot someone with a frakking blaster rifle? You have to have a target selected to even shoot? You can't be moving to use force lighting and have to be at point-blank range? Is there a way to actually pick attributes/skills/proficiencies? Some of the story bits are entertaining, though the quests I looked at make for your toon being the most gullible being in the two universes. Dude 1 says he needs something. Dude 2 says Dude 1 is lying...somehow Dude 2 is instantly trustworthy?

It really is what sets ddo, despite the massive issues, above and beyond other mmos. When you get to level 10 of the 4 classes you choose 1 of 2 professions. Each profession has 3 trees. You can max out in one tree and dip into tier 2 of a second or dip into tier of a second and third. If you don't want to max a tree (which i s perfectly fine for pvp and solo play - don't try that shit for raiding though) you can go crazy in all 3 trees. Takes 31 to max a tree and you get 41 points. 5 points to access the next tier for each tier.

	Apparently specializing as a marksman means you can shoot from 35m away instead of 30m.

The PvP in swtor is really fast-paced and intense, and the skill level to be successful at it, dwarfs anything DDO has to offer. Unfortunately you won't be able to see much of this during the free trial you have... level 15 is just too damn low. Some classes are alot harder than others though.

Seeing that big honking energy rifle can only shoot 30m and does trifling damage on individual shots...can slap them upside the head with the butt for more damage...then I can see that, for me, the game is...not something I'm interested in. Suspension of disbelief in favor of game balance to that extent is too much...especially when your str-dump halfling can throw a dagger as far as you can see. That's a bit too far in the other direction, but a direction I'm willing to go with especially since I have no str-dump halfings spec'd for thrown weapons. Playing balloon tag with high-powered laser pointers could be your thing, that's cool, it just isn't mine.

	Anyone else still playing? I moved a character over to Gawna's server and then she abruptly stopped playing, I think. I have 10 on Jedi Covenant.

	My characters are untouched since rakata gear was endgame. I loaded up a couple months ago and all my gear no longer exists in the game (aside from what I have and possibly what others have), none of my old comms exist, and there wasn't a place to trade any of that in - or sell it. So I said fuck it and logged back out and haven't logged in since.

	SWTOR was a bad MMO....it was fun first play through, but was extremely repetitive, and not worth repeating.

	It's a great free single player/occasional grouping game. I hear the endgame can be fun but I'm not interested in subscribing or buying temporary passes to access it. My favorite part was general exploration of places like Hoth and Tattoine. They really captured the feel of Hoth well.

	So this is not what I'm looking for. I would like to play something that is included by SW but guess a game like jedi academy would fit more. KOTOR was awsome even tho lots of bugs. I can drink more instead of paying for a shit.
