ComicCon 2010 is behind us and for us SWTOR fans it will be remembered by the announcement of space combat being present in the game. We have no idea what it will consist of and what it will play like, nevertheless it is a very exciting concept to speculate on. Especially while remembering all the epic space battles in the movies. So how does an average TOR fan face such an announcement? I think the comic does a good job of describing it.

10 million or bust

What cought our eye is the following statement: Well, we need to sell 10 million units. That’s actually the new target, right? We do Top 10 games, our stuff is quite successful. […]

Why we do what we do – Finale

About a year ago our son was just a 6 month old baby. We were giving him his bath and he was all wrapped up in his towel. I had the eeriest feeling, like having a Déjà vu. It then hit me, the little rascal looked exactly like a Jedi Knight. There was only the sound of the light saber being drawn that was missing. That was about the time the Deceived trailer got released as well and I thought to myself, if I ever do a Swtor fansite I’m gonna make a comic about my son looking like a Jedi Knight.

To a “normal” person this reasoning chain would probably sound silly or insane. But I think this is one crowd that exactly understands what its like seeing Jedi knights and princesses when looking at your loved ones.

And thus concludes our Swtor comic beginning. The future is sure to be exciting.

Aion name changes explanation

After the Aion servers merges scheduled for July 14, 2010, a small number of players will be affected by the same-name conflicts. Aion team has announced several solutions:

  1. Rather than resetting everyone’s names to a random string of characters, we opted for finding an alternative solution which wouldn’t take everyone back to dark ages. The best solution we could find, one that had been used successfully in the past, involved tagging a server name suffix onto the end of each character’s name. By adding this suffix we would allow you to maintain the tradition accumulated in your name, even if you’d encounter a name conflict on the new server.

    We’re supplying all characters with a free Name Change ticket which you can use to regain your former name, or start fresh with something new. If you have a popular name and other claimants exist, you are still able to retain your old name with the server suffix added.

  2. Once the merge occurs, a character with a name that is up to 14 letters long will have a two-letter server abbreviation added to the end of the name. For example, “Fergreedy” on Azphel would become “FergreedyAZ” after the merge.

    A character name that is 15 letters long will have a one-letter server abbreviation added to the end of the name. For example, “Misterhappyface” on Azphel would become “MisterhappyfaceA”. In the rare instance that two characters transferring to a merged server share the same name and it is 16 letters long, one of the characters will be renamed.

  3. When the merge maintenance is completed on July 14, 2010, you’ll be able to log in and use your free Character Name Change ticket change your name. All uses of that Character Name Change ticket will be on a “first come, first served” basis.
