Meh, just got in from work and no invite email - sadface. I'm probobly going to try combat medic as my first run through, the moblie healing and dps appeals to my taste. I haven't really found a class that is on spot though. I'm pretty much banking on Bioware making an interesting game to play. Haven't picked a server yet, still holding out on some friends coming over.
I am upset that Mon Calamari isn't a playalbe race becaue I would so be a mon cal jedi named Drunkoctopus

I've got a healing sage on "The Harbinger" name of Azalin.
I'm planning on being on Jung Ma, which is a RP-PvP server. I'm going to try something completely different than I ever have before.
Pre-order was Nov. 12th so I don't expect I'll get in until Thursday at the very earliest, more likely Friday or Saturday.

Ah, having played wow on a pvp server for years I am not all that interested in the gank fest that occurs on a pvp. I'll most likley pick a pve server, probobly shadow hand since my wow server was shattered hand but definatly an east coast pve server.
Looks like we'll be scattered to the winds then, shame I would have liked to get together with VSers again.

I will play Republic on The Ebon Hawk; so I can throat punch Don's Ginger-headed Sith.
I plan on kicking Amanda in the nuts.

Well finally got my early access 1 hr before I had to leave for work, of course I just got in from work and theres a 30 minute que....
Anyway, Im on Shadow Hand as Widget the borg medic.
I can only imagine what wait time is going to be like after release if they don't add some bandwidth. They had to know how massive a release this was going to be.

Sadly, the devs have stated that it is their plan to closely monitor the servers but also to keep form over-providing server space to avoid server mergers in the future. I'm not sure I get that approach (seems good games don't merge servers but bad ones do before they close down) but oh well.

I am downloading the game right now...did anyone come to a concensus on which server we will play on?

No, I don't think anyone did, certainly not officially. I will say that server populations are pretty high and if someone wants to grab the lead, please pick one of the newer servers as the early game access servers are all pretty full. Then again, I'm not sure there's a good answer on how to avoid queues on the first day of release. I heard someone mention Ebon Hawke as their choice to play on but that's a full server so going there may result in queues. Not saying don't go there, just warning to check servers pops first here: http://www.swtor.com/server-status

Not sure what to tell you Gallus, judging by this thread it seems like theres maybe 5 people in VS that are playing SWTOR. Looks like we are all over the place and the longer it stays that way the more invested we become on those servers and the less likely we will all migrate.

I think someone said The Ebon Hawk, but it is a RP server and has a 30-40 min wait to log in everytime i look because it is a full server allready. I can't wait a half hour every time i want to log in. Plus i think Don is playing a Nazi or something like that.

Yes...yes he is. Perhaps more like Ferdinand Marcos with Amanda/Benedicta set up as Officer of Figurheading; Sith Queen of Shoe Fetishes.

I waited 10 minutes to log on to The Ebon Hawk to make a character and my name is allready taken. Bullshit! I guess it wasn't meant to be. I am on Elysium still for now.
Despite Dominicide's attempts at using the dark side of the force to spirit away my product key, I prevailed after a timely trip back to Best Buy.
I am playing a smuggler (imagine that) named Powell on The Ebon Hawk.
