If you are talking about switching to a pvp server from a pve server -- that currently isn't allowed. There are no character transfers of any kind. So, yes, you would have to create a new character from lvl 1 on the pvp server of your choice

The casual players far far outnumber the hardcore players. The subscription costs that casuals pay indicates that they in fact drive things forward. I dont consider myself casual, probably semi-hardcore. I play everyday at least 6 hrs a day.

Anyone else notice during running / movement that your character seems to stutter some since this recent patch? Wasn't like that last night

agreed -- it is pretty annoying

What is up with all of the random loading screens popping up since 1.1? They are annoying -- happen during questing, pvp, pve raiding -- etc. Its horrible

yea, me too.. but I'm at work

Which forum can you actually find the patch notes in?

Of course you can't level 1-49 and hit 60 valor rank, because valor rank is capped at player level. My alt is lvl 36 and capped at valor rank 36.

its amazing to me how fast posts fall off the front page...

If you add a security code to your account this enables you to buy a "fleet pass" from the security key vendor. This allows you with no cooldown to port instanly back to the fleet, only steps away from your ship at any time. The pass only costs 1000 credits... and the mobile security authenticator is free.

Do we ever actually get dev responses in these forums? I haven't run across any... just curious

The reason that some people rolled on full servers is because -- of course BW took all of the servers offline for maint. When they all came back up at 12:00 eastern... all servers showed light or standard because everyone was offline. So they didn't find out until they logged off and then back on that they had rolled on a full server and are now stuck in a queue...

You can continue to play with what you have...

I mean -- I get it that they need to do some tidying up, etc before the official launch tomorrow -- but take the game down at like midnight CST... not 6...
