I'll agree with most of these. 3 is mostly handled through the resolve mechanic. As in other games, we've come up with a player solution to 1, it's listed a war event in my signature and any server can throw their own.

The Belgoth's Beacon War, a weekly world pvp event... "The neutral ship's window displayed one of the twenty wonders of the galaxy. In the 20,000 years it took to map the galaxy's hyperspace routes, it was the one navigational beacon more famed than any other. In the room, no one noticed the grand sight. Nor did anyone notice the two fleets menacing each other without firing. They only glared politely at one another. The Republic and Imperial Ambassadors stood on opposing sides of the table, barely containing the hidden urge to pounce each other. They hostilely spoke of the treaty and the fragile peace. It was all a lie, a carefully crafted play that both sides engaged in. Everyone at the table secretly knew it. They knew it before they had even agreed to meet at the site of Belgoth's Beacon. Both sides were rapidly preparing for war. Each was using their most trusted diplomats to buy critical time they needed to arrange and grow their forces. Bloodshed, beyond anything known before, was just on the horizon. The only real question was who would attack first..." You may have already seen a few zones that would be great to fight in. Epic pvp zones will be tragically underutilized. Sadly, that is normal in most MMOs. So, why not do something outside of the normal? This is an appeal to Republic and Imperial guilds. It takes both sides to make long term world pvp, after all. Who among you would like to do something epic? Who would like to see this game take off to its full potential? What guilds would like a chance to really shine? As of this posting, this is game launch. Most guilds will be grinding and equipping for months. That isn't a problem. The weekly world pvp event proposed is simple. When the server is ready, the community picks a day and time. Afterwards, we launch the war. On odd numbered weeks, the hosting Imperial guild chooses the event location. On even numbered weeks, it's the hosting Republic guild's turn. We then blow the snot out of each other for the sheer fun of it. It's an hour or two of pure, epic pvp mayhem. If needed, HAUNT is willing to provide team coms. That is for people on both sides. After all, many guilds aren't always comfortable sharing their coms with other teams or their adversaries. HAUNT is also willing to help the hosting guilds with PR work and videos. As an example, here's a few videos of one of the wars we helped co-host just earlier this year (DCUO): If you are interested, please sign up on in this thread. Also, thanks to the Republic player SWTORO, Belgoth's Beacon already has its own server forum: http://www.belgothsbeacon.com/forum/index.php Please take the time to register on BB's server forum and post on its main war thread: http://www.belgothsbeacon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14&p=20#p20 (If your guild is recruiting you might wish to set up a recruitment thread there as well.) Once the event starts, we plan on posting videos and PR shots on SWTORO's site. If the community agrees, we are looking to kick things off around February. Hopefully, that's enough time for most people to grind to 50. We can delay if the community needs more time. It is really up to the guilds interested. The only true limitations are your imaginations and ability to work together as a pvp community. I know it is possible. After all, we've been helping pvp communities do so since 2003. We'd love to do so here as well. We are HAUNT. We are here to help...

No worries Iolas, we got your back. He'll be fine. If your current server goes bust, we'll help you relocate. That goes for any ally or adversary we've had in the past that's in good standing as well. The current lack of official server forums has had a good turn on BB. Someone already made an alternate site. As such we've made our first World PVP GCW war pitch. We'll see if it grows in a few months once the server's Imperial and Republic guilds have ground to 50. http://www.belgothsbeacon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12 /salute

I'm on the site. You did a great job setting it up and my guild will always help out anything it can that helps the community. I can also pull mod duty if you still need help. On that note, we just set up the beginning pitch for a massive guild war weekly event starting around Feb. That should give people plenty of time to level up first. We'll need Republic and Imperial guilds to make it happen. That is, if people are interested once they hit 50. http://www.belgothsbeacon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12 Again, you did a great job with the site. /salute

Nice job and great initiative, I'm on the Belgoth's Beacon site. We just set up the beginning recruitment for a massive guild war weekly event. Interested guilds please sign up on SWTORO's site. http://www.belgothsbeacon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12

On the third day of early access, 45 new servers are expected to open today. Many of the guilds, including ours, will not have all of their players online until Jan. Several servers will probably be on temporary lock out in that phase time. Sadly, despite all the efforts several guilds have made to make a single Bria server, the numbers don't look like its going to happen. This game is launching much larger than many of us originally expected and will definately be many times what SWG was at its all time height. This is a WOW sized launch, minus the Blizzard launch issues. Thus, there is only one thing left to say. Good luck, whereever you guys and girls land. That goes for those we fought beside and those we fought against on Bria. All of those servers will be exceptional, simply because of the dedication, spirit, charisma, and character each of you will bring to it. Those that don't know you, really have no idea what they are in for. It is as Petrosis wrote above. "The truth is - Bria is everywhere." /salute

TAT FFA PVP Zone yes, server no.

If FOE's on Valeen, they relocated to chase SA. Neither FOE guild ended up on that server. We auto dropped in on Belgoth's Beacon. As for HOG: Sever pop is being tracked in this thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=2642 Hopefully, the guild ratio balances better. On the positive, LOTD is a very good crew to ally with. US East PVP Server Faction Balance as of 12-13-11 Total Players #: 3498 Rep Players = 1675 Emp Players = 1823 Difference = 148 Total Guilds= 67 Rep Guilds = 32 Emp Guilds = 35 East coast pvp averages: Empire Total: 59033 Republic Total: 29138 /salute

Veela might have the reverse issue. If things stay the same and they don't migrate, SA's fronts and a few other guilds are there republic side. It might help you out if there are any long term imbalance issues there Hades. /salute

Yeah, Veela has some really great pvp guilds there, blue side. /jealous

That's been a big bag of fail in a lot of games so far. AOC probably being one of the biggest examples. Then again, there is a first time for anything. Good luck with that.

There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no death, there is the Force. Nope, no passion for you. You do get serenity however. I guess that's good.
