Just curious here. Lots of people say, correctly, that an MMORPG usually means either a theme park progression raid-oriented MMO or (far less often the past several years) a sandbox player-driven economy/progression MMO. And they point out that, with no new raids and more single-player-oriented content on the docket, SWTOR may not technically be an "MMO".

I was just curious. Assuming a fresh start and clean slate (no mis-set expectations and broken promises, no baggage from a bad game engine, etc)... would you play an Old Republic era MORPG?

In other words, assume a fun, high-quality game with AAA production value for a single-player RPG. But an RPG that takes place in a shared world

We don't want to use "EC" for obvious reasons. How should we abbreivate this?

Et.C? EtC... E.Ch... ECh.... ECha? Something else? What do you think people should use?

Edit: It looks like TEC and ETCH are in the lead so far....

I'm curious what endgame ideas people have. If you were in charge of SWTOR, what would you to add for players to stick around month after month and have fun?

Note: let's just put it down as fact that lots of people would like more group PvE endgame in Ops/Raids. Lots of players were sold on SWTOR being a traditional progression raid-oriented endgame MMO, and many players understandably have left or are upset that that promise is no longer apparently being fulfilled.

Given that we are all well aware of that, this thread is about what other types of endgame content you might enjoy. Is there any kind of endgame content you'd like to see added to SWTOR, beyond Ops/Raids?

I'm curious

From the patch notes: "Encounters in Nightmare Mode Operations now have a 100% chance to drop Rating 224 gear tokens."

That is good news, right?

People often say here that SWTOR is not an MMO. Or that it's clearly moving away from being an MMO.

I'm curious to see what people think constitutes an MMO and why SWTOR does or does not qualify as one to them. Please share your thoughts!

So much hatred and salt a few days ago when it was datamined due to the fact that people said it was going to be a CM cash grab.

Any opinions changed on this?

Can understand someone feeling upset as it isn't an Ops drop. But at the same time, this is different than a CM item. And I can see a reskin of an Ops mount being okay personally. (Edit to add: I mean, may be it's okay since people have to do at least a little work for it and it's not just a cash grab.)

"Increased the max grass render distance to 200 meters (up from 64). This setting can be adjusted via a new slider found in the Graphics settings."

Yay! Still bothers me when I see the grass bubble popping in around.

I'm curious how much people typically have on-hand with credits, and how people handle their economics in general.

1. How much do you generally have in credits on hand at any given time? (Across all toons.)
2. How much do you generally keep listed on the GTN at any given time, in terms of total cumulative credit value? (Across all toons.)
3. How many credits do you earn/gain typically per week? (Across all toons.)
4. How much would the items you have banked generally sell for in total at average GTN prices on your server(s)? (Across all toons.)
5. What's the most expensive credit purchase you've ever made?
6. What sorts of items do you generally spend the most credits on? Ie what are yo

Has anyone tried Steam Link, nVidia Shield/Gamestream, or any other solution for streaming SWTOR to a TV? How did it work out, if so?

Very curious to hear your experience, if so. This is something I'm thinking about doing. If you've done it, what kind of rig do you have set up, and what sort of hw do you think you need to run this successfully?

Not that this would ever happen, but I'm curious:

First question: If there were a SWTOR companion app that let you do things like post/buy on the GTN, check mail, and do crafting and crew skills, would you use it? Anything else you think a good companion app should do, if it existed?

Second question: If BW somehow made a version of SWTOR that could actually run on, say, an iPad... would you play it? Obviously only for more casual / less intense stuff as touchscreen tapping in combat would be far less efficient than mouse+kb. But as long as the mobile client was locked out of PvP, Ops, or Flashpoints, would you consider playing on mobile?

I'd answer yes to both of these, personally. Th

As expected, prices in the GTN for lots of items seem to be dropping as more supply of older items enters the market with people buying the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Grand Packs of various types.

So, have you picked up anything at a good discount versus their usual prices? I've had some great snags:

• Got a White Eviscerating Crystal for 5M credits
• Got a volatile derelict lightsaber for 1M credits
• Got a Revan holocron for 3M credits

Any great snags you picked up?

The one thing I'm looking for that I haven't got to drop or to show up at a discount on the GTN is Jarael's set. Anybody had luck getting that?

I tried looking this up online, but didn't see any information about what this actually does. I'm familiar with the 8 Encrypted Datacubes that are numbered (eg Encrypted Datacube 89-G), but I've not seen this one before.

Has anyone got the "Shroud's Encrypted Datacube" before, and what does it do when you use it?
