Watch Your Mouth in SWTOR

SWTOR Swearing

There’s been a lot of discussion about SWTOR since it’s launch on the 20th. Some of it good, some of it bad. One thing I want to point out is the large number of people who have been warned/banned because of language. Below is a screenshot from the forums in which a player named Irishdrunk was issued a warning for swearing in tells to his friends.

SWTOR Swearing

There were no reports made for the language, rather Bioware must have a screen that all whispers go through and will issue automatic warnings when you drop the f-bomb. This isn’t an isolated case, if you click the links in the third sentence of this post you’ll find others who have had this same problem. So just be warned – don’t swear in SWTOR. Despite there being a language filter and despite the offending words being used in private tells between you and a friend, you could possibly find yourself with a warning or a ban. If you’re banned, you cannot change payment information while banned so you will be charged recurring fees even while your account is banned.

Take this with a grain of salt of course… because it was on the internet and half of what I find/read on the internet is usually made up. But there do seem to be a fair amount of people experiencing it and it’s sometimes better to just watch your language instead.

Wowhead for SWTOR: Torhead

Torhead

If you relied heavily on Wowhead when you played WoW and are ready for SWTOR to be released then you might want to go ahead and bookmark a site called Torhead. It’s the same layout and the same feel by the same people that brought you Wowhead. We might see one or two crop up and go like Thottbot and Allakhazam, but if they pull off Torhead like they did with Wowhead we should expect them to stay around a bit. Preorder players are already levelling up and enjoying the game so head over to the SWTOR section of our forums and see what they’ve got to say about it so far!
