Yeah, probably the thing that is going to annoy me the most is losing my character names. It was annoying enough losing a few of my names when I transfered over here to the APAC servers when they originally released them

Which choice you make affects whether you can romance with your companion later on.

Then you deserve what you get.

I'm in the same boat. I don't want to lose my name when I transfer, and I have a placeholder just sitting there to prevent this. Would be awesome to know if this will work or not.

Except that as mentioned, it is not the place of the Jedi to stop the senate doing things. The Jedi code prohibits Jedi from ruling anyone, which means that perverting the mechanisms of the senate to not disagree with the jedi would be a dark sidfe act, as it is against the code. If the senate vote to do something stupid, the Jedi are obligated to let them do it.

I personally get annoyed by all of the "they called someone else a loyal player, and now I am all offended that they insulted me" that I am seeing on the forums. It is ridiculous. If I tell one of my mates that he is a great person, it does not mean I am telling the guy down the street that he is a bad person. I think it is great that they are rewarding the people at level 50 for sticking around despite the lack of content that I have heard about (because no, I do not have a 50, so I am not getting this reward). TL;DR: Grow up.

The point. You missed it.
