SWTOR could shut down because EA wants to appeal to the lowest common denominator by using a Destiny 2 clone? Color me unsurprised.

I suggest you just make a new character and start from scratch.

Pretty much the title... I've done my fair share of digging and all I've found are a plethora of dead threads over the years crying out for this very basic feature. I actually haven't heard one word from the developers on this either. I've been around since launch and I always found it disturbing how there was so much dead air. It's easy to lose the feeling of immersion without any fitting music from the game playing. I am hoping with the KOTFE update that this feature will be included.
