Yes, hopefully there will be some sort of official representation at an Armageddon. Regardless, I'm keen to join in the local TOR costuming community ;) and get my next costume underway.

Not really that much info on the official FAQ - http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#q400115

There's some discussion about ping times and comparisons on TOROZ - http://toroz.com.au/2012/02/asia-pacifi ... your-ping/

I have no shame and have been asking a few times.. and will continue to ask!

Excellent :) I have seen some very seriously silly armour in game, my own puffy vest for a week being one...) but there are some really nice bits and pieces about. I think of it as all the Eu in one place at one time.

And I have finally got my own in game armour that I like. Well except the helmet. It belongs in Mass Effect ;) But simple leather and metal armour in dull grey. Though Death from Above is amusing with no jetpack...

First space combat mission last night. Got a commendation but no idea if I actually completed the mission. Also finally figured out the crew window and got companions sent away. And how to actually use missiles....

Got my copy on Friday, haven't had a lot of time to play it but have got my Sith character up to Level 11, and have just left Korriban. Loving the game so far!!
