Thank you for the replies. I guess the thing that worries me is that first ticket was responded to in 24 hours but as stated I didn't include name and server. The last ticket has been a bit longer.

I decided to give the game another try last week. I'm not real fond of the limitations of the free to play so I resubbed and spent a while downloading all the updates, the last time I played was a couple weeks after rise of the hutt cartel. So when I finally get in I'm missing 3 characters that I had played. They weren't high level (two in the low 30s) but two of the three were my money makers. Well I created a ticket and told then I was missing them and such and got a reply asking for name, server, and level. (yes I was stupid enough not to include this) Any way that ticket was closed so I submitted another ticket with all the details but I haven't gotten any response yet. The second ticket was submitted on Wednesday. So do I wait, attempt another ticket, call, or cancel and uninstall? While it is not the end of the world it is aggravating.

I haven't played for a while (was trying to today but my characters can be activated for some reason) but guild invites in SWTOR didn't seem to come as easy as other MMOs. My sith toon was in the 30s before I ever got an invite but that was only a week or to after EGA. I would say just see what guild name you see the most on the fleet and as for an invite.

It says that I'm subbed. There are actually two threads in the CS forums with people (that have been continuous suscribers) having the same problem, I wasn't smart enough to check there first lol. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. Certainly a strange way to welcome people back.

I only have 8 characters 4 imps and 4 pub.

So I just resubbed about 15 minutes ago and tried to log into my jedi guardian. I got a message that he is inactive and I can't reactivate him because I only have 4 character slots availible. I thought if I resubbed I was suppose to have any limits.

I don't really see SWTOR shutting down. While I hate to compare it to other mmos I guess I kind of have to. SWG had three expansions with less subs (the game was being changed before the release of the third and many people had money refunded) and it lasted years after the NGE. I would say that SWTOR has as many subs as EVE and it has been around forever. The fact is that there is only one MMO that has this huge number of subs and have maintained it for a long time. Now with that said: There is plenty of room to improve and I think the number of subs will keep falling for the next few months. Then there will be a group of players that will play until they pull the plug years down the line. If they would improve the core game I still think that they could have a good sub base. However, Star Wars is nearly impossible to do. Your fans of the first trilogy are getting older and parts of the game appeal to them and parts don't. Fans of the Jar binks Star Wars want flashly fast paced and think evil is good, some things they love in the game some they hate. The EU crowd say everything breaks lore so they hate most of the game and say that George Lucas (the guy that came up with Star Wars in the first place) ruined everything. No Star Wars game can ever live up to the hype and idea of a Star Wars game. There will be a niche audiance that the game appeals to and when Bioware realizes that they can try to make them happy. SWG had that group but SOE told them what they liked was wrong and they should like something else. Most quit in a week or so after SOE told them. If Bioware keeps trying to please everybody then no one will be happy.

Its kind of like building a skyscraper: You start with a massive construction crew but as you go different jobs are no longer needed so they are cut from the crew. You don't needed wielders to install carpet. SWTOR initial construction is over, the game is built. Now they needed the guys to do the interior decorating. Thus they need a smaller crew.

I haven't had a lot of issues other than some one pulling the next pack. When this happens I usually let them get beat on a little then I jump in and taunt to keep them a live. In other games I would just let them die but for some reason I seemed to play nicer here even on my evil guys.

I actually play both sides but my first 50 was a Sith Warrior. Why? Because, it was a lot nicer to level when there were other players around. As a republic player it was never anything useful on the gtn which made life difficult. If I were starting now with a higher population on the republic side (due to transfers) I may have leveled republic first. As far as good and evil, well thats a very disappointing part of the game. I get that if I'm a sith warrior the option to kill people is the better option and if I'm a jedi I try to save them. But what if I'm a smuggler or a bounty hunter? Some times I would want to kill them other times I want to let them walk. If I make the choice I would like then I can't really get a relic.

I would rather get item than weapon. It will be a candy cain striped lightsaber.

not at all related to the thread but this really made me laugh. Thank you so much, I really needed that.

The legacy speeder training that allows you to learn speeder 1,2, and 3 at levels below what is normally required. For example you learn speeder piloting 1 at level 10. When 1.3 was released I had two characters that were in their 30s and had already learned speeder piloting 1 from their trainers. But with the legacy they are qualified for speeder piloting 2 at level 30 however they would have to pay 40,000 credits to learn piloting 1 again. (here's the question part) Is this intended? If so then this would really only be a perk for characters that were below level 25 when 1.3 was released.

thanks I already did it and the transfer went through.

I'm trying to transfer my last character and when I click it says the destination server is unavailible. Any idea? Of course I saved my main for last the first 7 went fine.
