it seems to be the way "big" companies attract new business these days, while forgetting those that have carried them this long. I hope this isnt true, that veteran players get the new speeder as well, or at least they make a ROTWseperate for those of us that already have JTL. But i doubt it,, it would prolly cost em too much in maufacturing to make more than one type of new product. The way i feel about it is, they can keep the damn speeder and ill keep my 50 bucks. Ive already bought 3 seperate copies of this game and 1 copy of JTL, plus monthly payments on all that. Why do they keep making it harder tocontinue paying fora game i love so much

The question is, are they getting an in-game BARC Speeder, or some little model in the package. I know I got some unknown misc. pewter figure and some other stuff in the original SE Box.

I would hope they are not dumn enough to make a mistake as big as this...

*looks at CU*

crap.



My pewter figure was a one-armed female Zabrak. Heh. Couldn't even get *that* right.

Cancelling my preorder of the digital download tonite, unless some Dev comes forward and clears up this mess.


I'd rather wait till the 3 in 1 comes to norway and get the BARC than a stupid mount. Besides, it may never get to norway, so I save the cash..

I think it is wrong that they give the new players a better deal then us, veterans, and give us a mount and them a nice new speeder. I believe they should get something nice in the game that anyone can buy or give them something special and let the veterans also get it. It is not fair that they get something better because they are new. We are veterans men; and WE have paid SOE, we were the ones who stayed with them through all other game openings and we kept on playing Star Wars Galaxies!


Devs, please look into this and clarify this subject because giving them something [maybe] better than the Veterans is just not right...

Lol I think Varcatyl is better than speeder because that mount is faster.

The BARC speeder looks pretty bad-ass, I want one!!!


Unfortunately, there is no way to get it without creating a new toon. Even if you go out and buy the all-in-one pack, there is no way to transfer the speeder from the pack to your current toon. The only person who can claim the speeder is the one from the all-in-one account and, ofcourse, it will not be tradable (like the Naboo speeder).

But, how do you KNOW it will actually work this way? I'm imagining buying the all-in-one expansion pack and being able to use the key to get the expansion and the BARC. heh




I know, because that's how everything else worked.


I have SWG-Regular Edition. Let's say I want the goggles so I go out and buy SWG-Special Edition.


First, my account can't be upgraded to the special edition via the game code. I know this because people have tried.


Second, if I create a new toon, I cannot trade the goggles from my special edition toon to my normal toon. I know, because it used to be allowed, so SOE "fixed" it by deleting all the goggles on non-SE toons and making them untradable.


I also have the JtL pre-order on one of my accounts. I cannot trade the Naboo speeder from one toonto another. I know, because I've tried.


There is no reason to think that the all-in-one pack will be any different than the SWG-SE and the JtL pre-order. If anything, the time when SOE deleted all SE goggles on non-SE characters should show how they feel about the trading of the "special items".


Being so, I doubt there will be any way for us existing players to get that sweet speeder without spending some dough and creating a brand new character to use it.

Given the choice between a mount and the BARC, I am going to have to go with the BARC.

Perhaps those of us that have bought everything, SWG Core, JTL and RotW will be flagged for a BARC. I really like the vehicle but just can't bring myself to buy software that I already have in order to get it.


I think that it is a good call to give folks an incentive to purchase the"game pack" but it is a shame to not give the folks that have payed full price for everything and bought everything the same reward. If it is an exclusive
then people that want to re-purchase the software just for the BARC, should be able to do so. At a minimum please let this be the case.

This is another lame move on SOE's part to send us the message to move to WoW, because they don't care about our loyalty.

I can see into the future, the next expansion (assuming there are still people playing pending on the CU being a hit or miss) they'll probably just offer new players instant Jedi Masters for buying their 4 in 1 pack, and as a bonus if your subscribed to EQ2 they'll even throw in a cert so your Jedi Master can wear Mandolorian armor. $$$$$$$

I think TH said that the Varctyl or what ever its called will be one of the fastest mounts in the game. If this is true it'll be good for kiting because you can still use basic attacks while on a creature mount but not a vehicle.
