ETA: Confusion is no excuse. If SRO works call us and we'll de-confuse you. IF yu don;t have our numbers anymore PM me.
-
I got the game set up and all. How do you find people in game? My toon's name is Urragra Ou'vu, and he's Brit Naval Officer.
-
I was looking to get in too, but, apparently, completely forgot to sign up. I'd be very interested to see how it goes, keep us abreast as best you can.
Apparently its in open beta now, you can get in through file planet apparently. The server Kayhynn I think Cyberjudge, maybe Moordoom , and I are on is Rackham.
-
I am also on Rackham Frehley Seastar
If anyone is having a problem with beta key
Just go to eurogamer.net it takes 2 min to register and they give you the key for open beta
you can also get the client there cause i know some people have issues with Fileplanet
-
OR you can play SRO with me :)
-
Yarrr I finally got my password reset so I can post here.
Yes we're on Rackham for beta testing and Jasmine Blade formed RBW there for British allegiance. I'm on other server as Pirate.
to whisper people type /msg Jasmine Blade,
The comma is the most important part. No comma no whispering. Whispers are glitched and showing in group tab only. They are working on a fix for it
-
Yarr Urragra Ou'vu be my name in game. 20 Debloons to the hearty what can say war I've gotten that surname from...
-
SWG is where you goye name from! wooooo! I get them moneys!
-
I am dowloading this now and will see what I see in the lands.
Connor
-
It seems intersting, certainly it's a bit different than most MMORPGS. Should we set up a time to be on some day?
-
What would be a good day for eveyone>?
-
also get ready for a few hour donwload i am doing the patch now loooong time
-
Yeah, I had to leave it running over night I think. It was a HUGE patching process.
-
Open beta runs through January 1 so we should do it pretty quick =)
-
Jan 1 huh? Thats too bad lol. Its a nice game from what I can see... but we (Ini and I) don't go in for subscriptions.
-
Ya, I am in the game. Playing as a Brit on the Rakham server. Name is CJ Optimus. Add me to friends list and I can add to the guild there.
-
I haven't been in game due to family issues.
I do also volunteer for Stratics so know almost anything there ist o know about this game and other games, so if you have questions, feel free to harass me.
-
So we be brits... Lets see what I can see with me see//
Connor Mcleod and I shall be looking tomrrow
-
I ended up uninstalling the game as I read in the news feeds that the Beta ended last night (Sunday, December 30) so they can prepare for live launch.
-
Thas too bad. I allways hate it when betas end. I wonder if it will be on the station pass or what ever, since its distributed by the devil... I mean Sony...
-
Yes I would like to see a time for all of us to be on and meet in game and then go from there. But the open beta is over. How many people were in this land?
Connor
-
I think there were a total of 6 that at least checked it out. I could be off though, as I never saw anyone in game.
-
Anyone know if its part of the Station Pass thing?
Connor

Hi,
With all the fuz about the retail pre-order box, I wondered what added value it would bring to me.
To make a long story short: nothing really, however I am interested in joining the pre-boarding party.
So I checked out the digital download. It says one can obtain from station.com. As I was a former SWG player I already have an SOE station account and thought that would be very easy. However, reading the terms and conditions (yes, I actually did) I bumped into the following:
*Terms & Conditions
30 day subscription included with purchase of final game software for new subscribers only (existing accounts and SOE Station Access accounts are not eligible to receive gameplay included with purchase). Additional, recurring subscription fees apply thereafter. Converting an account to an active, paid, entitled subscription requires a valid credit card or game time card (if available). Internet connection required.
[END QUOTE]
The part that got me confused was "...the final game software for new subscribers only (existing SOE station Access accounts are not eligble to receive gameplay included with purchase)..."
--> what does that mean ? I cannot get the final software ? how do i play then ? not eligible to receive gamplay ? I pay for nothing then ?
Tried contacting SOE but the link for email support for Potbs does not work and since potbs and SOE have some kind of partnership I was hoping someone (FSL maybe ?) could explain me what is implicated here please ?
Because I do not want to pay and receive no game...thats for sure..
Dieter

Posts: 32 The relevant bit here is the beginning of the sentence:
"30 day subscription included with purchase of final game software for new subscribers only "
Meaning that if you put the game on your Station Access, you won't get the first month of free gameplay you would normally get (if you only subscribed to PotBS). That's a standard clause that applies for all the Station Access games.

To further elaborate on this, there is a difference between a Station Access account and your Station Account.
Station Account: The account that you use to access their games.
Station Access: Play all games in the SOE online library for single montly fee (30 bucks, usually.) This is a feature that you add TO your station account.

Posts: 148 Yes, the Station Access (or Station Pass as it's equally know) are where you pay a monthly fee for ever SOE game.
To give you an example, I already pay for this. I pay £18.99 a month and I get to arse about on any SOE game
Now, to go into exact details of my subscription, my Station Pass comes out on 26th of each month. As this game is going to be included in the Station Pass, I won't get the 30 days free because I'm already paying a base monthly fee for all SOE games anyway.
Do that make sense?
It's because I've already got an overriding subscription that the "30 days free" that I'd get in the box simply don't apply to me.

Posts: 20 In fairness if your an existing SoE customer the access pass is a great deal (until they increase the price) I am in Vanguard and this game is a very nice contrast to it. So Station access it will be for me.

Repeat after me : Always be concise and never waffle needlessly.

Interesting, it looks like it will be on the Station Pass then.
-
I'll see what I can find out about this...that is a good question tho
The Pre-Order you get the soundtrack CD (which I adore) and gifts for any and all caracters you create after you use your early pre-order code.
It includes a special weapon, a parrot and something else
-
It possable I will have access since its on my station pass thing so the question is do we want to try to start a company here?
Connor
-
When I get my review (videos and pictures) done for Stratics Friday night, i'll link it here.
-
Ok so do we want to start the watch in Pirates of the burning sea? I know that Daxe will also be in the game.
Connor
-
How much is the station pass?
-
Not sure. I was thinking about getting it myself if I decide to try SWG again, since that's included in it as is EQ and EQII.
I'm interested in Watch in PotBS. I'm guaging interest of BRegan before I decide to head Watch there. I don't think we're gonna have interest in Bregan to bring it up to speed.
-
So i'm back...have we picked a server or anything or considered my other thought?
-
I have to say when I played the beta it was a great game for beta, I was impressed. Unfotunetly though I have to avoid spending more money on games and computer stuff or my wife may have me sleep in the room with our dog. If I went with another game that required a monthly fee I would have to drop the game I am currently playing and I promissed Connor I would stick with SWG for the long run. I even resisted the temptations of LORTRO that offered $9.99 purchase price for the game and $9.99/month for life. That let me say was a tough thing to do since I would have saved a bundle compared to what I'm paying for SWG.
-
I would be intrested to see a watch branch here it is a most impressive game from what I saw and the only cost to me of course is buying the software since I have a Station Pass account.
However I would need someone to head up the watch here for a bit since the lions share of my time at the moment is in Lord of the Rings Online. I know that Moordoom is mostly in WOW so thoughts? Can we get 4 to 6 watchers here that will work on the guild and perhaps set it up?

We're in !! Bonny server, sailing under the British flag. My character is Daxe Darkmoon..look ing forward to seeing you guys !!!

Non-Guldmaster adding British pain in the sinking ship got a bit to do... someone hand me some pitch!
-
I know when you buy the box it comes with a 14 day buddy key. Those of us that have purchased the game, it would be cool if we could hold on to our buddy keys and maybe let another Watcher have it to try the game out.
Completely up to you of course :)
Thanks !
