My i5, got a 2500k. Next up, motherboard and ram. I could have saved myself a bundle by getting an E6600 and the game and see if that helped out but I'm dipping into my PS Vita fund (will teach Sony to screw us by waiting 3 months) and going all out... moderately. Hopefully will be able to start soon.

I'm buying the game today, myself.. do I recall right that since I took part to the latest beta, I don't need to do full reinstall?"You spent 7 years as MacGyver and you can't figure this one out? We got belt buckles and shoe laces and a piece of gum, build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud.."

So, holy damn crap this game is gigantic.
Besides certain worlds being huge (I'm looking at you, Tatooine), it just takes so long to get through a story! I'm in the neighbourhood of 60h played now as my Sith Warrior, and I'm still in the first of three acts of my class story.
And there are 8 classes to play
I'm very happy with this"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Can you play as more than one class at once or is it do one class, complete the story, then next class?
Also, how much is it per month?

When you login, before it loads onto a planet is your character selection screen. You pick whatever you choose--though at the moment, I only have the one.
The pricing structure is your pretty standard fare--monthly is more expensive than if you pick the 3 or 6 month option. Either $15 a month, $42 for 3 months (= $14 a month), or $78 for 6 months (= $13 a month).
For me, since I knew I'd be playing this a ton and ongoing, and because all new videogames are $50-80 anyway, I just went for the 6 month option. I figure it works out more or less to buying a new game every six months, which is hardly an expense at all considering I buy far more than two games a year."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

I haven't actually tried it, but at the character select screen there's a button off to the side to select server. I don't see any reason why you can't pop that open, change server, go back to character selection screen to pick your guy and then hop in."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

At times I do believe some people have too much money.

I have a Naga though and it is a kick ass mouse for this game or any other. The thumb grid on the side just pushes the 1-10 - and = keys along the top of the keyboard for you in its main mode so there's no wonky software or premapping you need to do. Just map your functions to those keys like you normally would only now you can hit them as fast as you'd dial a phone number.
Good as it is I'd have to beat myself to death with it if I'd paid 125 dollars though.
Loving this game so far. Playing Sith Assassin and Bounty Hunter and having a blast. I just wish I could PVP without the horrible soul crushing lag.
The game is still buggy in places, sometimes badly so, but it's definitely a solid offering at its core that restored a lot of my faith in Bioware after DA2.

Yeah they need to fix multiplayer latency badly. Not even just for PvP either; quest group conversations are so slow.
My computer is hardly new anymore but it's hard to justify updating it when you hear stories like that.
The fact nobody seems to know what's causing it is especially worrying.
I haven't had too many problems with the PvE content of the game though fortunately. Even playing with the two other people I mentioned all together. It does seem that sometimes the game will just decide it hates you though, and then you're left standing next to an enemy mashing a skill button 78 times with your skill not going off.
My friends definitely have had problems though.
Both of them are Imperial agent snipers and both of them got the same horrible bug where the boss of the chapter 1 storyline could not be targeted or have skills activated on him because they "could not see target" despite standing right in front of him while he smashed their faces in with melee attacks.
It was so bad I had to go to their mission with my assassin just to distract/tank the boss so the 1 out of 10 skills that would actually activate successfully on him would be enough to eventually kill him. One of my friends was heavily over leveled for the fight even, but that still wasn't enough to overcome the bugs alone.
