I'd also like to have joystick support. I really like GSF and will play SWTOR for years to come regardless, but my first loves are the good old X-Wing/Tie Fighter games.

I haven't seen anything about an RP channel yet, but I agree that if they allow guilds to have public channels it would be good if one guild donated theirs. I have to second all the previous comments, Vrook Lamar has stayed strong as the best West Coast RP server and nearly one of the best overall. Very mature players with a lot of assistance in open chat. Also, grouping quite excellent. If anyone is looking for a strong RP guild, check out The Order. I am very biased, but if you're interested visit http://www.theorder-swtor.com for details. Or chat to myself, Ronyn, Cinda, or Kheldis in game.

We are actually in the same boat. We wanted an RP server, but enjoy PvP. It was the desire to have all our friends in one place that led us to an RP-PvE server. It probably doesn't help you much, but I've been testing out both RP-PvE servers for West Coast and so far Vrook Lamar seems to be the most mature.

For all avid role-players: So far it appears Vrook Lamar is attracting the strongest Role-Playing coalition of the two RP-PvE West Coast servers. Although largely arbitrary due to random assignments of guilds and player preferences, as of Wave 5 release Vrook Lamar is receiving the fewest complaints in regards to immaturity on global chat and, so far, has the greatest number of medium-large well-organized guilds. We'll see if it stays that way...
