Star Wars The Old Republic MY WAIT WASNT OVER Star Wars The Queue Goes Public Part I Actually, I just got in on my server and it wasnt that bad... but for many people (over 500 pages of people in the SWTOR website community forums) it is hours, and I mean 5 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours plus, of waiting to get in and play. Some even have the luck of, once they get in to play, get disconnected for some reason (or missed the Charcter Selection Screen that comes up for what one person stated was "15 seconds" and BOOM! back in the queue for hours. There are people that havent played all weekend and they have been trying since Friday. Wow. Here is a sampling of what is on the SWTOR forums today (Click to see images at Full Sizes): Speaking of WoW, perhaps to help alleviate some of the anger, people (everyone including myself) should remember waaaaay back to 2004, when a gaming company called Blizzard put out a little game called World of Warcraft, to much much muuuuch hype.

SSH using Public Key Authentication Lately, Ive been implementing a solution to make SSH connections more secure and manageable (i.e., getting away from password authentication). A couple of benefits public-key authentication has over the default password authentication is: You only have to remember the passphrase of your private key rather than possibly dozens of username/password combinations for remote hosts. A password sent across the network, even protected by an SSH secure channel, can be captured when it arrives on the remote host if that host has been compromised. # Generate the Key Pair RSA authentication will need a passphrase to encrypt the private key. It is highly recommended to create a strong passphrase for the private key. A strong passphrase is at least 10 - 15 characters long and not a grammatical sentence. The following command creates a 4096-bit RSA key pair and prompts you for a passphrase: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter f...

Star Wars The Old Republic MY WAIT IS DONE Star Wars The Queue Goes Public Part II Well, I havent been able to play for a while, but in that time things certainly have improved. I havent gone to the forums to see if its people ragequitting (even though that isnt a real word), returning to their old games (if they didnt like SWTOR) or EA/ORIGIN/BIOWARE opening up extra servers, but in any case the results are the same: I didnt have any Queue ("kyue" not "kway-way" or "kay-ay"). Here are the lists of new servers: SWTOR North American Servers as of 2012 SWTOR European Servers as of 2012 I wasnt able to play long, but I pooped in and was signed into my server/shard without any wait whatsoever at PrimeTime for my locale on a Saturday. Whatever changed in the last couple weeks, it worked. I look forward to playing many hours of this great game. See you in there! download  file  now
