Nice. The in-game armour designs are even better than I thought they would be. I've seen some really cool "tourist" screen-grabs of environments...shoulda done more of that while I was online. Check these out:

yes there is so much new stuff in the way of props and costumes to make from this game!

the standard black imperial trooper armor kept catching my eye for one thing :0 and that little mouse droid at the starports!

Here's the end-of-testing Dance Party in a cantina on Dromund Kaas. Plenty of players ditched all their armour ('cause there aren't as many opportunities to do so on a live server) and got their /Club Dance or /Dance groove on, sabers and all.

I loved the mouse droids! I want one :) Definitely keen to make costumes & props from this game, so many amazing designs (already started shopping around for possible fabrics for 2 that caught my eye). I'm really keen to see what some of the higher level outfits look like (I spent too much time playing different classes, I never got above level 16). I can't wait to get back to the levels I reached so I can continue the storylines - it's like a great book but I have to wait to read more! I couldn't decide on just one class, they're all great stories - I even tried out smuggler & liked it so much I definitely want to play one at launch too. Sad to see my characters go, I had such a fantastic time over the two testing weekends :)

30 minutes left before close down, I headed to my capital world for the 'dance party' as advertised on the TOR twitter, it was fun :)

Here's Coruscant senate plaza on the Leviathan server - I'm the blue twi'lek in the front, with my trandoshan companion wondering what on earth I'm doing :lol: Though I think Dromund Kaas had the better party :cool:

Some servers had huge gatherings - found this pic on Tumblr (click through for a few more)

The offical SWTOR facebook page has been releasing tracks from the score (and will continue each day until release). Here's their playlist on youtube so far, including some of the cantina music.

One of my favourites -

I like the Ugnaughts :) ...in fact one of my many favourite aspects of the game is how they have voiced and animated classic and new non-English/Basic-speaking aliens like the Ugnaughts and Gand, for instance. There are some quite a cool scene with a Wookiee NPC in the Bounty Hunter storyline too (and a few easter egg-ish moments along the way, like a Wookiee playing a computer board-game with a droid in a cantina...the droid's arms have been removed at the shoulder).

I fell in love with Ashara Zavros's design. Not too keen on how she is very much an Ahsoka clone... the voice actress even sounds a bit like her (different actress though). But her armour and robes are just enough of a variant to be interesting :)

I was told Shae is part of the BH storyline but I didn't get far enough. I have seen spoilers for the end game of the BH story arc and it sort of went where I thought it might be fun to go to ;) But Shae wasn't there. One of your first trainers is a nice link to her though, again I didn't find out how as I didn't get far enough.

A few weeks before I finished Shae SR did send me some renders of Shae from the game and so I need to get to work upgrading parts of my costume ;) It was fun to see all the Mandos wearing the armour, wish I'd found a few females in the kit so I could compare chest plates. And the armour is tinted blue on all those NPCs.. sigh.

I have more screenies to share too :)

Keen to see. I'm enjoying seeing what everyone's done with their characters, as well as the game environments.
