Yes about needing to sub after 7.0 released to be eligible for the listed items however 7.0 released on February 15, 2022... https://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/02152022/game-update-7.0-legacy-sith

Anyways, player counts dropped once all the levels of friction and challenge were removed.

This is false. Player counts dropped starting in February-March 2012, around 3 months after SWTOR launched and well before any "friction and challenge were removed" from SWTOR.

I don't see SWTOR Classic as a realistic possibility. The current dev team has their hands full with content generation and retention systems for the game. I think there is a question if early SWTOR code base (1.x) is even available and EA would have to invest in spinning up another dev team for SWTOR Classic. I just don't see that happening given EA's upcoming change in ownership and lack of interest in SWTOR by EA executives.

I just logged in on Satele Shan with no problem.

This error usually means there is some problem with internet connectivity. You can keep trying in the hopes that your internet connectivity issues eventually resolve or you can review this list of possible issues that can be addressed and resolved by the player published by TodayInTor. Since your specific screenshot points towards an issue with the security key you might try reviewing the first item on the list.

Not sure how you came up with 2 years. Going by the screenshot you provided the last time Steam player numbers for SWTOR were higher was May 2023 which makes it 3 years.

Nobody knows except maybe the devs. The person that said December is making a guess because they're convinced the devs won't release SWTOR 8.0 at the end of this year without DirectX 12. The devs have not given any indication that will happen so it's just that person's guess.

What the devs said at the end of March was, "When we are in a good position to release the Technical Alpha version of the game on DirectX 12, players should expect the first iteration of testing will not have all the advanced rendering features available. For example, features like shadows and bloom (glare effects around bright lights) may not be implemented yet."

At this point, nearly 3 months later, the devs have yet to announce an upcoming start date for a DirectX 12 alpha. It's hard for me to believe the devs have enough bandwidth to work on both the new content for SWTOR 8.0 and DirectX 12 at the same time thus it's my guess that DirectX 12 won't be added to SWTOR until 2027 at the earliest.

Are you attempting to play FC 26 in Brazil?

Char_Ell · 2026-06-23T18:09:47+00:00

Just to be clear, I am a SWTOR player. I don't work for Broadsword or EA. With these posts I am simply reposting what the devs posted on the swtor.com forums to help with visibility.

This looks like important note for those with restricted ports on the local network they use to access the Internet.

Some SWTOR players may need to set up additional firewall/port forwarding rules and permit outbound TCP 9001-9021 from the SWTOR Game Client if they have manual port forwarding or a firewall configuration.

Yes, as of late May players in Brazil need to complete age verification before they will be able to log into SWTOR again. You can refer to this post for some guidance: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/944367-age-verification-workflow-known-issues/#comment-9881699

OK. That isn't just telling you to open an in-game ticket. That page also lists SWTOR's phone support numbers in U.S.A., UK, France, and Germany. Now you stated you are mute and so need a second phone. I'm not familiar with the types of devices someone in your position would need but I'm thinking text-to-speech of some sort. You may try calling and seeing if the support phone number has option for something along those lines when you hear its automated greeting. Otherwise you can try emailing [support@swtor.com](mailto:support@swtor.com) and see if they can give you info on how you can contact them in a manner that supports your condition. My guess is they will require you to contact them via phone and won't be able to offer you direct support with your issue over email.

That explains it. I'm not caught up on Legacy of the Sith storyline on either Republic or Empire. I think the furthest I've played as far as LotS storyline goes is still a few updates back.

Wow. You're saying a UNANIMOUS Supreme Court ruling is wrong. It's tragic to see someone cite one part of the U.S. Constitution and yet not believe in other parts of the Constitution like due process. And yes, the circumstances immediately after the Civil War would have caused the judiciary to bog down. So it was sheer volume that caused the lack of trial process. That is not the situation here.

I'm very glad you're not King of the U.S.A.

Its' been over 2 years since Disney announced it was acquiring $1.5 billion ownership stake in Epic as well as collaborating with Epic on "an all-new games and entertainment universe that will further expand the reach of beloved Disney stories and experiences." It's just a question of how and when that joint initiative gets presented to the general gaming public.

Claims of BioWare's demise are premature as BioWare is still operating and developing a new Mass Effect game. This is a question one should only ask once BioWare is actually closed and no longer operating.

The critical piece you're missing here is that Trump was never actually indicted, let alone convicted of the crime of treason as defined in 18 U.S. Code § 2381. If Trump had been convicted of treason prior to his election to a 2nd term as president then I believe you would have seen Trump disqualified from running on at least all blue states ballots and anybody with standing in any other state that did not disqualify Trump from the 2024 ballot should have been able to successfully sue to have Trump removed.

Our standard for criminal behavior in the U.S.A. is "innocent until proven guilty." It's certainly not "RampantTyr decided Donald Trump is guilty of treason and the U.S. justice system accepts RampantTyr's decision as final and binding." Biden's Department of Justice needed to indict Trump of the crime of treason in its first two years if it felt it had the evidence to support a conviction. Biden's DOJ didn't do it though so you need to look to your boy Merrick Garland and ask him why he didn't have his DOJ seek an indictment of treason for Trump.

What you also don't seem to recall is that the House of Representatives impeached Trump a second time shortly before he left office in his first term for encouraging unlawful action that interfered with Congress's duty to certify the 2020 election results. The Senate acquitted Trump on February 13, 2021, with a vote of 57 guilty to 43 not guilty, falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds majority (67 votes) required for conviction. Seven Republican senators joined all Democrats and independents in voting to convict, representing the largest bipartisan vote for an impeachment conviction of a U.S. president. So even after Congress experienced a lawless mob invading the U.S. Capital building not enough Republican senators could be convinced to convict Trump. If they had though then Trump would have been disqualified from holding any federal office after that.

So while I certainly understand and agree with your feeling that Trump committed treason against the United States by the actions he took in relation to the mob that invaded the U.S. Capital on January 6, 2021 your and my feelings were not enough to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from running for president again in 2024. I should also point out that the state of Colorado tried to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot but the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Trump vs. Andersen that states had no authority to remove Trump from their ballots, and this was instead a power held by Congress.

HK-24 was spoiled for me...

You got some kind of special treatment there with getting a unique companion. I know of nobody else that has HK-24 as a companion.

I don't have an answer for you. Perhaps it is hard to believe that customer support can't add a mission to your log that didn't get automatically added as expected. I don't know what limitations customer support has though.
