Wait what? Its practically the same game but set in fantasy rather than science fiction... The only difference is substituting magic and arrows in place of guns, dragons instead of choppers, etc.

Actually, it's the other way around because Fallout 3 is just Oblivion with guns... But, yeah, you're right. I prefer the fantasy setting, myself. Really enjoying Skyrimjob so far.

Sure they play similar, obviously...but the actual theme is different. That's the point, I prefer Sci Fi. I've never been one to get into the whole fantasy thing.
Dont know why, but I just find fantasy infinitely more nerdy. I also, greatly prefer the gunplay (V.A.T.S.) to the melee combat and bows/magic. That said, the magic looks badass in Skyrim, didnt care for it too much in Oblivion.

So for those who actually got into the Beta... What are your thoughts early on.

I like it so far. Storyline is pretty good. Server lag is terrible.

Server lag is to be expected since it's kind of a big stress test, but I really hope you guys enjoy it! I've been playing it for a while now (I used my friends beta) and I love it.
The game really starts at level 10 once you get to pick your advanced class.

Thats what Im assuming with lag so it all in all hasnt bothered me much. I have been slowly leveling trying to enjoy the game and so far I am. I am an Imperial agent and am very much enjoying being a bad guy. bwuahahhaa

I didn't think I'd like the Imperial Agent, but the story is really good so I'm considering playing one at launch now.
They had a high level server a while ago, to test some end game stuff, and one of my pre-loaded characters was an IA.. the medic/dps type. He was a ton of fun.

I went out drinking, saw a movie last night, and now just got off work this morning. The servers are all full except for two. I think they are slowly adding PvP and PvE servers in pairs, but there's about 23 of them full on my screen and this one is orange as opposed to red.
I'm actually scared to lose my place because after a half hour I'm sitting at 1100.

looks like I had messed up. It auto took me to the servers. I had to create a character. I just created one, and then typed in name "Clint Eastwood". Rejected for invalid something.
"Clint Jackson"-my actual name, again rejected
**** it, I'll just go with "Clint"-rejected and launcher shut down.
Now everytime I open the client the play button isn't available...

Alright guys... My year and a half old keyboard is starting to **** the bed so being the proactive gamer that I am, I am on the market.
These are a few I have thoughts on and what I like about them:
The Razer Anasi
http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...ctID.220723800
I love the fact that this keyboard is built for MMOs. The 7 quick access thumb macros are amazing and should come in handy for the eventual hours and hours of TOR play. I know Its more of a cool feature but I love that it is multicolor lighting. (The blue on most Razer products is awesome but what If I want red?)
The Black widow Ultimate
http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...ctID.211651300
I mean this is the king of Razer keyboards. The likelihood of this guy breaking should and I repeat should be less. The biggest reason I want this on that isn't on the other... Mechanical Keys!
What do you guys think... and any other suggestions are appreciated too.

I would go with the Black Widow myself. It looks like Anasi has buttons under the space bar exactly where I like to set my wrist down most of the time.

I kinda have my wrists on an angle. So it would be in the perfect area for thumb clicks. For me that is.

I can't rave enough about Razer products. I'd go with that. Also check out the headphones if you're ever in the market for one.
