I assume that means you got early access? It seems like (from what I hear) some of the servers are getting slammed and have huge queues, while others are okay. Maybe the people sitting in line for 2 hours on the busy servers are helping reduce the overall load on other servers. 😛
 
Everyone be sure to let me know when it all calms down and there's less chance of servers being full, then I can decide if I'm ready to get the game :whiste:

Correct I did. From the time I hit buy on Amazon to the time I got my account setup and started downloading the game client, it took maybe 15 minutes.

I am impressed.

After day one the game is very impressive. It has a lot of great features: aoe looting, tooltips that compare equipped armor, etc. The graphics are growing on me as I get used to the art style. If anyone is on the fence reading this, the game is worth a look even if, like me, you are not a big Star Wars fan.

my impression after 1 day is also very positive. the minimap and big maps are great, and it's all seemless. my strongest complaint is with the (lack of) controls. i enjoy a more fps-style of control and target what is directly in front of me.

What server do you play on? I have only gotten a que ONE time???

I am on X'ar Kuhn (spelling?)
 
I had a queue for the fist time last night, was about 12 minutes long. Not a huge whoop.

I'm really torn on whether to go Vanguard or Commando with my Trooper, then I have to choose a tree from there, which looks tough too. Anyone have any thoughts for a guy that will be soloing quite a bit?

Depends, if your companion can heal (don't think it can but not sure) then going tank would probably give you the best solo survivability. If your companion can't heal, then go with commando and be a combat medic. You'll still do decent damage. Healers also seem to be more in demand than tanks for grouping if you want to run a flashpoint or do one of the group quests/chains.

I made the mistake of rolling on what turns out to be one of the busiest, if not the busiest, server (Iron Citadel) and unless you get on early in the morning, you're going to see a queue. I was #701 in the queue last night. :|
 
Here's a question that has to do with server load. Go ahead and yell but I'll reference EQ again. In EQ, your character had to be logged in to sell things. My understanding is that that's not true in TOR. Also, people liked to just stay logged in and stand around in non combat zones. Show their gear off, receive tells(with audio triggers they can head elsewhere in the house), who knows what.

I wonder if EA has properly estimated for the number of people that will stay logged in even when not playing? Is there even a zone comparable to Plane of Knowledge/Guild Lobby(or Nexus, if your EQ experience goes that far back) on each server where people would congregate to go AFK?

Point being, I wonder if they'll have to split servers down the road.

In a situation like this, I'm sure they are plenty of idling people who aren't disconnecting at any point during the day because they don't want to sit in line to reconnect an hour later after taking a break (or whatever).

Of course that actually exacerbates the problem....

Unless it changed very recently you're auto logged off when AFK. I think the timer is about 20-30 min.

Sweet, thanks, will likely do that. Seems to suit my play style.

Good god. You stuck with a guild or can you switch?

that's the server I started on. Got on late last night and had no queue then, started about game time today with a 15min'ish one.

Some former AoC and SWG guildmates rolled on Iron Citadel and my youngest brother convinced us (me, my other brother, and a good friend) to roll on that server. I told him tonight that we should roll light-side characters on another server so we can have an alternative.
