Though honestly I may be a bit biased as I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars or Bioware.

    I'd say the safe money is on next week. Nov. 30th is about as late as November can get and +10 days from there would put us at Saturday, which they don't patch on. Generally out patches have come out on Thursdays, though I don't know if this is a coincidence or part of the actual plan.
    Though it doesn't break away from the MMO formula, it really holds it's own quite well. I played the beta and had to force myself to put it down, because I know the character would be deleted. Right for the most part in regards to the game, but SW's beginning numbers are going to be really high, and continue if end game holds itself real well, which is the true question if SW will be any good or not.

    Anyways, my guess is between Dec.10-15 for 1.20, I wish Dev's would come out and say it though.

    Yeah I agree. Before I wasn't sure if I was going to try SWTOR, especially because I rarely get into that style of MMO, and there was no noticable controller support. I got an invite to the beta a few weekends ago and like you, I couldn't stop playing. Me and a friend were playing for what had to be around 15hrs straight, it just pullllls you in with the open-ended dialougue and gameplay. I even got Xpadder to work AWESOMELY for this (I was the sole healer in all our group content and had almost no problems once I spent an hour/two working out the kinks). Can't wait to rip some KB+M players a new one in PVP, I'm already in need of my TOR fix. I do plan on paying through FFXIVs continued development prior to 2.0, but I am expecting the servers to see a pretty sharp decrease in population at least until 1.21 comes out. I am in a fairly large LS on one of the most populated servers in XIV, and I know about half are at least trying TOR when it launches.
