3) Chess.com is not really "official" chess, just the largest online platform with the obvious domain. "Official" would porbably mean FIDE, USCF, or another national organization for OTB play. In that respect there is the American Checkers Federation (ACF) and other national organizations, but they are much less well established than FIDE or USCF. Online play happens on sites like playok.com, flyordie.com,... Source: over 1 year ago

Surprisingly I'm looking forward to doing this more as well. I actually like to play pinochle @ playok.com while I watch my little guys pour their heart their animated hearts out trying for a 4v5 win. Source: over 1 year ago

Playok.com is active all day every day. Source: over 2 years ago

Been playing for years on playok.com, iReversi (it was an iPhone app), OthelloQuest (on mobile for quick games) and these days mostly on eothello.com. Source: almost 3 years ago

I would suggest playok.com . You can play without registring but its more fun if you do...It is a very convenient interface. Source: almost 3 years ago

Did you download from steam or swtor.com? Steam has a "Inspect Installation" tool that will fix a bad install. The SWTOR launcher has a similar tool (I think it is a little gear in the corner somewhere, but I am not sure. I use the Steam launcher). Source: 6 months ago

Interesting. I feel like we've had some improved communication but when was the BioWare logo replaced with the Broadsword logo on swtor.com? I think that was a fairly recent change and while I think it's great swtor.com actually reflects the current developer it took at least 5 months for this to happen. I don't consider that impressive at all. I expected that would be updated within 30 days of the studio... Source: 6 months ago

Oh, also if you decide to subscribe, subscribe through the swtor.com official website, NOT Steam. I promise you that it will be less of a headache. Subbing to SWTOR through Steam is notoriously buggy for some reason. Source: 12 months ago

What I would want to know now that it is official is what happens to the business model. Granted it remains a freemium game at its core and swtor.com as a website is going nowhere (why would it?), who's going to get the money from the subscription? Source: 12 months ago

Based on this tweet from SWTOR's Lead Writer it sounds like the employment transition from BioWare/EA to Broadsword occurred yesterday. So yes, this is a done deal and SWTOR is now officially developed by Broadsword. Perhaps they will be updating swtor.com and forums.swtor.com to remove the BioWare logo and replace it with Broadsword logo in the not-too-distant future. Source: 12 months ago
