Where is everyone buying the game?
I've just recently decided to get it, but I'm not a big fan of Origin; but being able to play it early is a definate plus. Then there is the post here where people are getting banned from the forums and can't even play their games on Origin.
So where are you buying it? Are there any good pre-order deals outside of the downloadable version's virtual items?
My plan is to avoid all the "cool" names, since that is where all the leet kiddies will gravitate.
Choose an RP server if you want to avoid the l33t k1dd13s bunny hopping mages..er..I meant Sith.![]()
So what server is everyone planning on playing on?

Is there a server list out?... I saw a list but not all of them say if they're on the the east/west coast or pve/pvp.
PVE servers have plenty of opportunities for PVP combat. PVP servers are just for gankers.

Ganking is part of PvP. I remember AOC, my group of 40s were ganked and camped hard by several 80s including the guildleader of that group. Once we hit 80, our life goal was to tear that guild apart. Anybody who had that guild tag was our gank target regardless of what we were doing. We would be in the middle of a boss fight and peel off because we saw someone with that guild tag.
Everytime we killed them, they would of course ask for an explanation. We told them that we would continue to gank, camp and generally make all their life pure hell as long as they are part of the guild.
Eventually, the guild dwindled down to nothing. Then we ganked and camped the guild leader until he either quit the game or rerolled a new char. I remember one time, he said, "Ok guys, this is enough. Truce?" Then we demanded payment then we would leave him alone. So he gave us money then we continued killing him.
That was the most fun I had in any PvP game ever.

Ugh, that sounds absolutely awful from both perspectives. None of that sounds any fun to me.
Different strokes I guess.

Being able to have enemies that MEAN something is one of the best things about MMO PvP. 4 years Rallos pride on EQ.
So what crew skills are people going ot be getting? I'e tried to do research and am just unsure myself. Ill be a jedi sage for reference. most crafted things seem to be BoE so not like you have to have that skill. That and it seems like Artifice everything is BoE....same with synthweaving. So is there any real good reason to pick those up vs just getting gathering skills? Im thinking ill go Archeology so i can get my own crystals. but as for the other two im pretty unsure. So what is everyone else going to go with?
Also one thing to ask....is there a like "bank" to store items at? I didnt notice one but didnt look to hard either.
I'm a fair PvPer and I would never gank a lowbie or camp those who I kill. But, I do take names and make my personal blacklist of those who have killed me in unfair circumstances like killing me as a lowbie or camping me after several kills. Killing me in a group or killing me while I am PvE, I don't care as much, that is part of the PvP environment that heightens your sense of survival. Makes you a better player.
You know what I'm talking about, w00t!
I generally prefer PVE and that's because I have a job, take classes, and so I don't spend more than an hour a day at most playing these games. That kind of time limit severely gimps me in PVP play, but thankfully PVE is something that I can get into and out of whenever I want/need and there's little to no penalty.
This just says to me that they need a level range (ie, 5 levels for example) instead of no range, that way level 50s fight people their own size. Everyone gets to 50 eventually anyway, although I wonder if there will be a 100 level cap after 10 years and 10 expansions.
Cant ever fix the problem, but 3v1 will still rock you even if you all the same level. Of course you can group with friends but thats not always possible. PvE servers is for folks like me who get mad when a apparent 1v1 fight [in which the ganker is getting whupped] has his buddy add in and gank you. Happens to much, guess that makes me a "rage quitter".
As far levels go, WoW is closing in on 100 and EQ2 [was] getting there. It seems like once the games come close to 100 they start making tiny level advances or stop altogether for a expansion or two. WoW is at 95 now and Eq2 stopped at 90.
I'm curious to know what people are thinking about for profession combinations as well. Currently, for my gunslinger, I'm thinking Cybertech with Slicing and Scavenging.
There is a "bank" to store items in. They are currently in major cities and you also have access to it aboard your ship. Your mouse cursor turns into a "key" shape when its over the bank terminals you can interact with.
