The Kestrel Minority

Not long now folks!

I won't be playing this until I get my early access and can download the client, unless my hard copy arrives first. I'll not be doing the beta, so it will all be shiny and new for me.

Looking forward to playing along with you all. Can't wait to dress JJ up in some good looking clothes and doing some funky roleplay. The first words JJ will utter once in game are 'Everybody relax, I'm here'.

Hum considering it took my PC 3 days to download the beta/Marketing client I might not go for the Beta weekends unless the Beta can be patched up to Release version (though this will be highly unlikely).

There are butterflies in my stomach every day now
I know this game is so solid that the enjopyment factor will only be up to oneself really. And we're bringin' it!

I'm in on the Mumble server, if the sums aren't high. How much per month for a server?

Looks like around 10 USD / month for 25 concurrent users, could be less if we had less users or if we prepay a few months in advance. A little more if we need more concurrent users. I had been using a different server company for my WOW guild but it looks like we could get tkm.mumble.com for our server name. The other company had really awkward server names.

Mumble really is leaps and bounds ahead of the other services. Full duplex so you can interrupt to say "Get out of the fire er, force lightning!" Next to zero latentcy, the delay on vent was shocking once we realized how long it was. And auto leveling of input levels on all clients so voice volumes are much more consistent. I'm a fan!

I think I might just go ahead and set up the service for us if that's cool, it'd be cool to have it running for beta. Does 25 slots seem about right?

We're all looking forward to it very much. And it's good to see what the guild has grown into. From the small band of ragtag people I joined in April to this wonderful lot so close to release.

As for me, I will be trying out the Beta, but will not play a consular. However I do intend to make a character for my consular to decide on looks

I would also like to cast my vote here for Mumble. Have had previous experiences with it and it does beat nearly every other voice chat I have used.

I've never used Mumble, but I trust the experience here so I welcome it if people want it.

Anyone got the actual beta key yet? No sign of it except the mail stating we're in, but not when or how.

Mumble is super, and I'd happily chip in some monies to pay for it.

Got my Beta-key entered it on the SWTOR site not heard anything since.

At $10 a month, I could take care of a month or two per year. It's not much when you convert to Norwegian currency. I just saw Twilight at the cinema with my wife and her friends - $18 a ticket. If Mumble really is as smooth as people say, I'm all for getting it for launch. Lag and delays sucks!

Check out the @SWTOR feed on Twitter. They say we will be notified per email when we can download the client. Beta weekend starts on Friday (OMMAZGZ!!!).
