A Star Wars game in which you go on about 90% fetch quests and 10% boring fights. Then you subscribe, unlock the expansions, and then go through more of the same shit but with a better story and highly detailed models that look better than your character. Always. It also has highly produced advertisements and trailers that fool you into downloading it, but you'll probably fall in love with it and as much as you write about it sucking on Urban Dictionary, you'll still go back to experience the wonderful world it brings.
Person One: Hey, have you thought about returning to SWTOR?

Person Two: If you so much as try to tell me to get back into the game JUST to join a RP guild, I will fucking destroy you.

An MMORPG co-owned by Bioware and EA, released in late 2011. The expectations for SWTOR were sky-high and the release was majorly hyped, even a year before the release date (SWTOR was developed for 4 years, and was deemed the WOW killer), but the game was a huge letdown (the subscriber count dipped from 2 million to 800k in the first 10 months of release).

As of 2016, EA is starting to pump money into SWTOR and release new story expansions. EA has also gradually made the game easier through patches over the years to the point it can now be called the easiest MMORPG.

The PVP and raid community is starting to leave, and EA has prioritized new players over veterans. EA will not be adding the raid content the veterans want and have been waiting for, but spend months making new story expansions, letting new players start off 5 levels off the level cap, and updating the cartel market (a cosmetic shop, usually has little to no impact on actual gameplay).

The majority of the player base are novice first-time MMORPG players. The starter instances probably have 3-5 times more players than end-game planets, "Legendary Status" clickers are all too common and SWTOR is the only MMORPG where you can sit on the capital instance (imperial or republic fleet) all day. New players usually quit within 3 months when they are done with the story, and they go on to PVE and PVP content, but realize they aren't playing something along farmville difficulty.

Star Wars - The Old Republic is a FPO(Few Players Online)RPG(wannabe) also known as "Maintenance Online" as the servers are offline very often, for various reasons and you will spent most part of the time you actually paid for waiting for them to come back online (what usually takes from 1 up to several hours). This game was developed by Bioware under the wings of the greedy Electronic Arts, which fact partially explains the end result.

This "duo" apparently found it funny to release a singleplayer game as a multiplayer, probably just to troll the hell out of everybody. To successfuly finish this "multiplayer" game you need literally nobody at all, unless you are mentally ill.
A. Dude you should try SWTOR , it's such a cool online game
B. Don't shit me about

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
