I will keep my sub up. I like this game, simple as that.

No, everyone gets the free day, regardless of your character levels.

It's coming at some point, the devs stated that are the Guild Summit.

I was gonna map my UI roughly the same with some minor differences, though did not had the time yesterday due to raid, and did not want to change it moments before i had to engage major combat that was unknown to me and made me confused cause of my new layout. So i guess i will be doing this tonight after everything is back up. I'd like to see if i can fit a properly sized readable chat window in the bottom left corner though, thats pretty much the only big difference my UI will have from what you picked. Though where did you place your "Target of Target" ?

Never looked at it from that perspective, i suppose as you say they are confident enough to give people 30 days of free play, so one would assume they can easily take that hit. I suppose it indicates they are doing better then people are thinking. Though it could also indicate the opposite, but i have my doubts about that

On the guild summit they mentioned that there were no plans for server merges. However character transfers was something in the works, i'm gonna assume this will be free for at least the low populated servers. It seems a better idea then server merges as it would give you more freedom to pick a destination.

Even better! (If i bothered to use simple math i would have known this, shame on me, but either way you get the general idea)

On my server (Hidden Becks) we had about 300 people on the fleet yesterday. I guess it depends per server, for mine at least being one of the more populated ones, i noticed an increase in player activity.

Yeah cause all the people that complain on the forums and claim they are quitting make up a vast majority of the player base.

Woohooo, they are refunding us a dollar we oh so value and are in desperate need of!. Honestly, they did not have to do this, yet they did, kudo's for trying to handle the situation properly tbh.

I don't see them doing a server merge anytime soon, if at all. Though there was some talk about character transfers at the Guild Summit, which is a more likely to come (i assume for free for some if not all servers as a 1 time thing) giving you more freedom as to where you wish to go.

I think it's best to let the most active of the 2 CHARACTERS keep the name. But only apply this rule if the less active character has not been active for more then xx hours in a month. Example to clarify: Player 1 has the name "Player" Player 2 (on a different server) also has the name "Player" Player 1 then transfers to Player 2's server. Player 2 is forced to change characters name if the character was active less then 10 hours in 1 month. Though if player 2's character was active for more then 10 hours in a month, i feel that Player 2 should be entitled to keep the characters name and force Player 1 in to a name change, as that is the person deciding to move to a different server in the first place. I'd say the same concept should apply for Legacy names, and base that on Legacy activity. As for other MMO's the concept usually was: Force player who transfers to server in to a name change if name was taken on said server already. That pretty much is the standard.

Nope, the day i'll quit this game will be the day i will be extremely bored of it. and play less then 1-2 times a week, and lose all will to log on.

I like the credit sinks, and it's not like no one will be able to afford it at some point. Specially with repair costs cut by roughly 66%. It's not like you are obligated to spend your credits on what mostly is vanity stuff.
