Star Wars: The Old Republic Presales have begun!!

I havent heard CE people getting in earlier than DD orders, if so that sucks!!

Yeah, no one has been able to get their characters names yet, you just register at guilds using the forum username.

The thing I was wondering is, if people are already able to log into the game servers directly and create names, or if the names created on the forums are directly used on the live servers once they go online?

I had no idea about people pre-ordering getting to reserve in-game names, I guess I need to check that out.

The only way you get to reserve in-game names is during the head start period.

Pre-order gives you X number of days of head start over the general public. Meaning if you can login to each of the servers and create a character as soon as the head start period begins.

My understanding is that the Pre-order collector's edition people will get the longest head start, 6 days is the rumor, then the regular pre-order folks will get 3 days, then regular versions will being play on the decided upon release day, which is still not announced, but rumored to be mid to end of December.

They are allowing guild, pre-release creation.

As for char names, it's based on your forum login, which your game login will be based on i'm pretty sure. As for character names on servers, the pre-release folks will get first dibs on creating their character names on each server. Most of the hardcore folk always login to every server and reserve their names with a character just in case.

So what classes are you thinking of playing?

Damn, still five months out and guilds are already forming? How are they already getting char names?

Stevo

Guilds have been forming for at least 3 months or more.

Joined a Sith Guild if anyone else is interested. Korriban's Lancers is a Texas guild looking for older crowd (25+) and seems pretty relaxed. Also they are working on a republic mirror guild if you plan on playing republic.
