I just reached level 65 after playing on and off for 4 years. This is the first time I've ever reached "max level". It's a great game and the Knights of the Fallen Empire has got to be the best expansion any MMO has seen.

I play the game on Ultra with only a little stuttering when there's LOTS of particle effects. I have a GTX 750 ti, i5-330 CPU, with 8 gigs of RAM. I think the stuttering could be fixed by getting a new monitor. This old girl only runs 900p at 75 hz.

Recently decided to join this game. The reason is simple: SWTOR is old canon, old canon is gold canon, so I'm joining because kark you, Disney. I'm playing on the Jung Ma server, the character is a Jedi Consular named Caitlyn Ascura. Yeah, of the same Corellian Ascuras as Rina, only several millenia earlier.

I currently run a guild (mostly by accident) on the Ebon Hawk server. I've been playing for 4 years now, I think?

Working on the BH story line so I can get that legendary status.
Yeah, I don't really play the game. I've spent 90% of my time RPing there. It's been fun, but time to get down to business and finish that up!

I'm back in on Shadowlands server.  Guinness Legacy.  I caught up my main, Corvein assassin through the story to be ready for this new expansion.

I burnt up my video card tweaking overclocks monday night, but i have a gtx 1070 on the way so I'll be back and looking for guildies this weekend.

Very sorry for Necroposting but i do not want to create a new topic just to ask for a question Wink

As i have a Mac, i never played to SWTOR and it is frustrating  Grin

Now, there are solutions to run this game on a Mac. So i have questions for players:

Can we play solo a little? Are there enough people on servers? Is there place for newbies on these servers?

Thanks for your answers Wink

Heh, I do not envy you Mac person.  Tongue

Yes, you can solo all the way to the end.  The game has a class story that takes you through the planets all along the way, and each planet has a main story for that planet.  Of course there's also side quests along the way.

There are plenty of people on server since they recently did a server consolidation.  Most of mine are on Star Forge server, with a couple on Satele Shan, which used to be a west coast server.

As a newbie you'll learn for the first couple planets.  There are 4 starter planets, 1 for 2 sith classes, 1 for Imp Agent and Bounty Hunter, 1 for 2 Jedi classes, and 1 for Smuggler and Republic Trooper.  That planet will help get you going, then there's a "central" planet for your faction you head to next that everybody passes through, still more learning there.

If you just download and play, you'll be Free to Play(F2P) and have the most restrictions. If you buy anything(premium currency, starter pack, etc.) or sub for a month you'll be preferred(or obviously sub for that month), and you'll have less restrictions.  Also there's a pack on Amazon that has a LOT of stuff to it, which includes all DLC, a sub card, and some premium currency that's a good buy if you decide you wanna have a better time with the game.

I'm still on about 4 hours a month, in fact, it's currently the longest running game subscription (and the only game subscription) I have.  I was a Beta tester back in the day, and I just can't bring myself to give it up.  I'm not sure what server I'm on anymore, I started everything on Ebon Hawk, but they've consolidated the player base a few times and I lost track... Star Forge sounds right...

I'll echo what Krace said, there are still several folks on, lots of RP Guilds out there.
Solo content is all there, you don't have to group with anyone ever if you don't want to.  Groups definitely help the Heroic quests/missions though, but you can solo flashpoints, as the game will give you an AI companion to help out.

I've never had a Mac, but I had it running pretty well on Linux using Wine a couple years ago, until they updated the game and it wouldn't launch anymore.  Angry So, I feel your pain.

I just started this game the other day. I started as a Jedi Sentinel, I almost switched a while back but I decided to stick with my Sentinel. all in all, it is an amazing game.

Sentinels take a while to come into their own, but they're stupidly powerful once you're several levels in. Not so great defensively, but your brutal attacks make up for it.

Mac is not so bad as most of the SW video games are ok ... but not SWTOR Tongue

F2P has restriction, that sounds ok. But, do these restrictions enable you to discover the game for several hours?

I did not know for Amazon ... I will study that ... Thank you Wink

I think that servers are continental ... so I will discover the ones we have on this side of the ocean Wink

Anyway, that is cool you can play solo ...

I've never had a Mac, but I had it running pretty well on Linux using Wine a couple years ago, until they updated the game and it wouldn't launch anymore.  Angry So, I feel your pain.

The solution I will try uses Wine ... I hope it will work well  Tongue

I will try a non Force user ... but I do not know what right now Wink

F2P restrictions are somewhat limiting. Fewer character slots, barely hold any money, no mail, can't start PMs, can't use top rarity gear. But having said that the entire main game is available to play. I do suggest subbing once as that opens up all the expansions and makes you preferred. A preferred player has fewer restrictions while still being F2P. They get more character slots, can hold money, can use the mail but cannot send money via mail, they still cannot use top gear but you can buy perks to remove many of the restrictions either with cash or off the auction house in game. Use the account key, it gives you 100 cash shop points a month for using it and it increases your account security.

The game gets really annoying when you're near your credit cap. It pops up a message every time you earn credits, which you do right and left in the game. Roll Eyes

I definitely don't recommend totally free, unless you literally just want a little demo of the game before committing to anything. But, for $5, preferred status is worth it, especially if you plan to really play.
