Anyone buying this game at release?
I have heard of servers being down, registration problems...

I'm buying it today if I can find it.You would do well to wait a few weeks before even bothering Chris. I bought the game for the review Im working on for the site (I had originally planned to buy but wait for at least a month to sign up) and lets just say the experience has been nothing but a hassle. 3 hours to subscribe (and mind you I had to install Mozilla to even get the subscribtion page to work).
Servers were completely down because of Oracle database problems yesterday and have been up and down all day. Current announcements suggest gamers should expect intermittent gameplay all weekend as the servers are patched and game stability is leveled out. In talking with the game devs they are thankfully not considering yestersday part of the free month.
Welcome to beta 4 or as I like to call it Star Wars Galaxy Offline.
I had a running joke with a friend I work with who also purchased the game. The tag line for Star Wars Galaxies is "Get ready to experience the greatest Star Wars saga ever told....Yours!" our version was:
"Get read to experience the greatest Star Wars saga ever told....REGISTRATION!"
None of this suprises me as this is fairly par course for the MMO community. Its just ashame really.
How many characters can you create per server? Total?One and one only per server.
I was kind of thinking about becoming a bounty hunter.You wont start a bounty hunter Chris. Youll need to start as a Marksman or Scout I believe and work your way up one of those trees to get to the Bounty Hunter class. Also be aware that the BH class is a pet class, as in you will be using your droid pets quite a bit. Its a very popular class nonetheless.
I'll be a bit later Chris at around 11:00 or so if you want to meet up. My character will be in Naboo (Theed). His name will either be Thrale, Vrale or Krale depending on what the server allows. Just send me a tell and well hook up.
The Starside server is alway "Full" when I try to get on. But I will try to meet up with you in Theed tonightIts full for me as well so I was not able to create my character yet. If for some reason I cannot do so at 11 Ill create him in Bria. We can meet there worst case scenario.
Do you need a ccredit card to register?Yep, you do need one to register, even though there is a 30-day free trial. Since I didn't have one, my friend let me use his, and I'm giving himoney until I get my card from my bank.
