I'm still loving every single bit of my G9 Logitech mouse. That thing has everything I ever needed.
Logitech G110 this seems to be a pretty nice keyboard to play MMO's on. The hotkeys close to the WASD seem to be a nice addition for most.

I really hope end-game isn't nearly as "grindy" as it is in WoW. Part of the reason I am still picking this up is that I can off-load a lot of my more tedious tasks (aka mining-esque stuff) to my minions while I am at work each day, come home, and do a few group missions. However, I would still like to experience end-game content on my compressed schedule.
I'll see what happens as we get closer to launch. I'm thinking perhaps we have a few different raid groups with different schedules depending on people's work schedules. It would be nice if we could get out vent/mumble going and start discussing how we are going to run the guild.

End games are always grindy. Players have nothing to do but repeat the content till new endgame material is introduced.
People are starting to show interest in our guild it seems.
Some dude from an international guild group called Dark Jedi wants to merge our guild with their guild Army of Light.
I think I spoke for for all of us when I kindly declined his request.
On the note of our guild, I'd like to ask all that signed up to post on the guildpage what your username is on NeoGAF.
It's nice to get an overview of who's actually who in our guild

I have a G110 and it is awesome to have all that stuff close to WASD.Fonds said:
That's my main problem with these specialized keyboards. Why the fuck is all the special shit on the right? What kind of dumbass still plays PC games (and especially MMO's) with the arrow keys? I know some of these keyboards can have their stuff switched to the left, but you shouldn't have to switch it, that should be how it's made -- and marketed. Just showing me pictures of that bullshit on the right side of the keyboard makes me not want to buy it. It sends a message that whoever designed it doesn't have a fucking clue.
*ahem* anyway, get the G110. Best bang for the buck.

I got the G110 on sale about 6 months ago, honestly i really dont like it. Its hard for me to explain. I guess the best way to say it is the keys themselves feel really close together than im use to.

Keep it coming!
People have been saying this desktop mic is really good and I'm planning on buying it. I have a $20 Microsoft headset that's decent but uncomfortable.
I ended up leaving the GAF guild for that reason. I realized I'm getting about ten or so people into this game, and they are in turn getting their friends and family into it. Not to mention customers I talk to at work. Basically, when I just mentioned the idea of starting a guild for all of us, everyone got excited. One girl even said "Finally!" Never started a guild before, so this could be exciting. I've spent two days debating names.Rapture said:
Edit: Do we know who Ali Hillis is voicing? If it's a PC, that will determine my gender choice.
"Something that people are concerned about is when they redeem their code, and if it will affect their Early Game Access. The truth is that right now -- even though we had a lot of codes redeemed -- we're not even at a point yet where people wouldn't be more than a day one or day two. It really is not that bad. The incentive for us to get people to redeem their codes is obviously so we can keep track of how many people are getting ready for pre-order. But at the same time, we're trying to prevent a situation where people pre-order and they actually redeem their code months later, and at that point they would be at the back of the line. That is the reason why we are pushing people to redeem their codes, but there really isn't any reason to panic."

What you mean to say is "Join today and stomp the Republic into the ground in the unlikely event they flag themselves for pvp"
Billychu said:
welfare epics = epic quality gear gotten by methods deemed 'easy' by hardcore players. The main offenders in WOW were the PVP pieces. Some of them were pretty insane, and you could get the points for them relatively quickly when compared to constructing a raid, hoping something drops for you, and then winning that piece.
Edit: this is a good start: http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/001313.php

Just a query, but why is this £40?

Thanks for the insightful answer.
Well, after being in the latest game testing focus group, I think I might have to pass for now. Which is a shame, since I quite enjoyed my time with it. But paying £40 for a game that's monthly, I'm good. Even if it is Star Wars.

I know it's true, it's the way gaming has become now, I get that. But I was hoping to hear that there's some kind of concrete reasoning behind it, more than just "they can do it...just cus..."
But eh, who am I kidding? They'll do it because enough people will bend over for it, as crude as it sounds.
I really do want to own the game of course, I love Star Wars and I enjoyed what I played (mostly anyways hehe), but I just can't support it. :/

Aha, yeah I understand. Ah well, I know at some point I'll break and most likely buy it. But for now, I think I'll hold off. Hope ya guys enjoy it though.

Actually more recent reports have the price at 7.4 trillion which Riccitiello paid out of his own pocket.
Price jokes aside I think EA is a bit crazy for pursuing the MMO market so aggressively but without having tried out SWTOR it definitely looks interesting. Haven't played MMO's since quitting WoW but I'm ready to try out this one. Have tried getting into the beta a half dozen times but with no luck.
