Embrace the dark side we must.
Uhum.
For fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the power of the dark side.
Cool outfits they have.

Always wondered what would happen if yoda became a sith...

Weak sith and the jedi will die!!!!!!!!!!

Is their any crafting in this game? SWG had 1 of the BEST crafting mechnics. I hope this game can at least get somewhat close to that system, if not BETTER.

And I say to you all... "Let the hunt for Power & Annihilation begin!".

Feel no remorse!

The sith are the most bad-***** chars after my believes, so lets start the beating!

I sense great thing's from these magician's at their work.

The Sith will rule in skill and superiority, there will be many
more Jedi than we but for every one of us that fall, ten of them
fall for their lost cause.

All hail your leader me or die, civil war is wat will come to be, make sure you take the right side, my side!!!!!

cant wait for this game and to make at least this class. still dont know wich race [if more then human can be 1]or gender just know that peon will be 1 evil and vindictive *****.

can you take over the empire as a sith and be the leader of the sith cause thats how they r going to balance the sides out i think, they r going to be a lot more sith than jedi i know that there has to be sum balance,and the only way they can do that is to have civil war with each other for power thats the sith way!!!

I am normally not a story line follower but this game is really changing my mind on that. The amount of information being pumped out by the developers is phenomenal by any standard.

angral was a sith lord not the emperror

It could be possible... but I think you'd have to be a high enough level to kill the "ruler" of the sith, if you are not familiar with him his name is Lord Avgral from the stunning CGI trailer. Unless you're born with epic powers like Darth Revan, or Anakin... It's not a common thing in MMORPG games so we'll have to see.

There is no point in civil war when you are at war with your true enemy(the jedi). The way of the sith is not civil war. The only reason the sith fight each other is for power and a sith only strikes when he is sure that he'll win. This game will probably have a level cap way before you reach a level high enough to kill an emperror, that way it fits into star wars lore.

I doubt, i have a feeling it will will end up like WoW did, more people on the light side, but more skilled people on the dark side.

deerhunterbob,I think that you could buy it off the store like star wars galaxies but I guess they will release in stores 4 months after the game comes out,but does anyone have any ideas?

Is this game going to be one you can buy at the store or is it straight off the internet????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

dont the sith kill each other for power how r all these sith going to cope? and can we be the emper of the empire?

I highly doubt you can become empeor, and there wont really be civil wars to gain it, for that has only happened when there was no empeor and no apprentice of the empeor. soo, unless the Pathetic jedi manage to kill the dark lord of the sith, the sith shall be fine.

Cant wait to kick some jedi ***** ! xD
Going to be the BEST game ever, or at least for now , hope I get to beta but for those who get into the beta, good luck guys, hehe report alot of bugs and make us a good game ;D

is there any sith clans that r cool not ruled out im looking for a clan of only two siths rest others cuzz there can only be two siths something where you can do any thing ya want and your bros got your back like a biker club for st wars

in the timeline of this game the rule of two hasn't been established yet.

There IS only passion.

-Darth Kilnik

Iam darthhollow the masters number one i sit and wait in the shadows all of you will fear me when you meet me as the master predicted.I see the jedi in alot of you hiding behide the sith then destroying the empire,My apprectice will hunt you down and destroy you.Beware if you see me and want to fight in a blink of an eye you will lose the fight,and my power will grow stronger each time.

Clan DrO your clan sucks who needs all those rules, im gonna start one called the "Dark Brother Hood" wat do we do there ***** others up there is two rules always have your brothers back and you leave ya die "the club puts a bounty on your head"

GUYS GUYS I KNOW 2 thing 1 i have seen gameplay footage for every class except trooper its so fricken awesome all hail the sith empire they will kill you if you dont join 2 i know release date sometime in october 2010

ALL HAIL SITH

this looks like good game,can't wait to play i wonder if there will be a mando,spy,assassin,runner/scout or a slayer

Methinks that the Trooper will replace the Commando from SWG. As for the others well... I can't really say untill it's fully complete.

Looks amazing I hope I get to be on the beta wink wink :)

Awesome game.

No matter what side one Choses, They come out of the experience what they take with them in. And what emerges is ones, True Self.....

jedi always will have an adveantage over the sith cause, they have cooler temples

I agree, the sith have the awesome dungeons, and if you walk in to them you see some Idiot jedi getting tortured. ha! Foolish jedi

No, kanestorm, the sith have way cooler temples. like that huge pyramid! the jedi temples are to pompus, and dogmatic.

Here is a link to a interesting read http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1012837p1.html

Cool I definitely will be playing this class first (or possibly the jedi, i just have to see what their gameplay and special powers are like first before i decide). I wonder what the power base it talked about will be like? will it be located on a planet or will u have a rather large space craft available? Either way it looks awesome.

I like the whole plotting to overthrow your master thing. I don't want to be a good guy i just am power hungry. but it depends on the master, but from all the sith masters I've seen they all treat their apprentices like crud.

i hope they are gone do jedi class soon becouse i have many siths around to deal with them

FOR THE REPUBLIC AND JEDI ORDER

This will be for sure... Soon... Very soon.

once again the sith will rule the galaxy.and the republic will lay in ruin.

There is no such а force in the galaxy that could match tо the power of the Dark Side.

Just thinking about Jedi/Sith, I wonder whether there will be a mechanic for switching sides. After all many of the most prominent Sith in the movies are fallen Jedi, and of course Vadar repents before dying...

Gift.

You know what they say, A bounty hunter obeys the person with the most cash Pure evil or Heroic.

You know what they say, A bounty hunter obeys the person with the most cash Pure evil or Heroic.

i have a feeling it will be like a chain of quests, Like bounty hunter will probably find so good bounty givers in the republic and the sith would redeem themselves. and jedi would see the true power of the dark side! sumglers would start sumgling for the empire and troopers hmm... that's a tough one... ah well i have a feeling every class can change 1 to 2 times.

I love that idea. But imagine being a bounty hunter for the sith. You help out the empire because their contracts are lucrative. And then an oportunity comes up to not only criple a sith commander whos trust youve gained in the course of the game, but also to cash in an enourmous 'finders fee' for the commanders head from the republic. Which would give you an opening to join the republic permanently ending your romance with the empire. I'm still talking about long (and probably painful) series of quests ending in a possibility to change sides. Think of it as completing quests for a prestige class(not unlike what was/is present in Lineage 2).

Well I would certanly like to have the chance to change my minde and lest say help the republic as a sith, or to criple a faction in the empire and by doing so helping the republic out. The same with a jedi, to solve a problem just by killing a particular person instead of a long chain quest tha would solve the problem in the typical jedi way. But still such options will not alow a player to change sides, hepling out the republic as a sith will still make you a sith allied to the empire, your choices ware a bit different than those of a typical sith, but still you are a sith in the empire. But the oportunity to make such little choices is an excelente idea.

I beg to differ. First of all, from the moment that they anounced the storytelling mechanic BioWare said they will encourage taking compassionate actions as a sith and vice versa. Speculating as usual, but I think that it would be possible to give the player a chance to switch sides at say 2/3 or half way through to top level. A special quest(or series of such) that would enable to change your fate.

I think that it will be like in WoW, if you start with a sith in the empire there is no way to change your cless to a jedi or join the republic. The choices you make as a sith may differ, you can handle a situation more drasticly or show more compasion, but still that will not alow you to change your class, the story will go differently, but stil your class will not change nor you alliance to aither republic or empire.

This game is gonna be so awesome.

its gonna giv the good site a lot of truble alrigth, but im gonna go with the smuggler.

Hmm I won't be suprised if HK-47 comes into this... I mean he survived 'till episode 5 in Star Wars Galaxies, and even after that he didn't die. Wether they create him as an ally or an enemy we'll have to find out.
