Yeah im curious as well. I stream on Twitch so am considering doing this on the April Weekend (Book time off work/Set up for it etc). Im not sure how quick i can lvl 1-50 on mainly Class Quests though. Or whether it really would be easier to just port away and head to Ilum. (I'd much rather work through the story, more interesting to watch on Twitch than grinding something for 24 hours straight.) Im sure Running Class quests/PvP/XP Flashpoints should be able to get you to 50 in under 24 hours...

Really? Ive found this to be one of the friendliest... Got to 50 on my old account, first time doing one of the FPs. (The Island one i think...) Told the guys there that i'd never done them before (This is before i even got the free 50 gear from fleet that was better than my stuff). Went into the FP, they took it slowly for me, explained it to me about where we should go and what the bosses would do to watch out for. Died about 6/7 times to one boss (This is when the Repair costs were stupidly high...). Took about 2-3hours to complete it and it was probably the most fun ive ever had. Compared to other MMOs ive played, definitely one of the best communities for PvM.

Original name. Showaddywaddy. Not even kidding, my usual MMO name. Darth Showaddywaddy. (People who watch Mock The Week in the UK, will understand why this is brilliance)

Thanks for all your replies. I have to say, i just started playing. Been playing over 8 hours on my new character and only level 6. And why, THE PEOPLE. OMG There is people, just like i remember from my Early Access. I have to say, i found it very disheartening to jump into a guild, as i said, started again from scratch, still got the Legacy levels, nothing else though. Got into what seemed like a friendly enough guild but then kicked within 5 minutes for discussing on General chat "Guild etiquette" (In a discussion about high membered guilds that have loads of Alts/Non Active accounts, i said i usually give a guild 2 weeks and then quit or decide to stick around and improve it...) So that wasnt the best start. But i was suprised at how many people on Tython have NEVER played this game before. Let alone another MMO. So ive spent the last 3 hours, in a group with someone, explaining to them how to add people as friends/change the hotkeys. To then as soon as id helped them, roping another newbie in who had never played MMOs before. Had no idea what WASD keys were used for, nor the Tab key, the number keys etc. She didnt know how to attack people, target people. Spent 2 and a half hours teaching her how to kill stuff without dying and i have to say. Ive now fallen back into love with this game and just because of what seems to be a loving community once again. I left just before the updated LFG, with Return to your point of origin, so im looking forward to that when i reach it i have to say. Ive always been one for fluff and stuff, so with the Cartel Coins ive picked up from subscribing i now have an adorable pet The game looks better i have to say, im glad ive given it another shot and im hoping that it wont disappoint me at higher levels

And i agree with you. Unfortunately the name in question, he is arguing against IS A RULE BREAKING NAME. He isnt allowed it, hence why he doesnt have it

That doesnt give you the right to the names. That gives you the right to have an early access and some extra bonus stuff in game.

Im only being as rude as you were to me originally. Ive been very civil up to this point. Once again then, lets try this. What gives you the RIGHT to pick 8 names that you "like" when you arent planning to play any of them till your first 50 is complete? What about other people that might want to play a class with one of the names you currently have growing dust on a lvl1? And yes, i'd remember meeting Reaper just because of a name? Grow the hell up. Its the deeds we do in the game that define us, not the names we choose for ourselves. You know who i remember? Raaz, PonyBoyGoblin, Annekin, Jaidar, Anthony, Phatina, Xenos, Kiera. I could go on. None of them have names like "Ravage" and "Titan". But the ONE THING i remember from this game? Was being part of the FIRST RECORDED Group taking down SD-0 on Coruscant, in the first 36 Hours of early access. I barely play with any of them anymore, ive not even thought about them until this thread but thats what i remember. People that made an impact on my gameplay by being players that were polite, got together and actually accomplish something.

HOLY CHRIST. THEY DID NOT LIE. Ive just deleted a character myself and made another with the same name. Absolutely NO PROBLEMS. YOU GOT SCREWED BECAUSE YOU WERE USING A NAME THAT YOU WERE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO USE. Its like putting your name as "IHateJews" and then wondering "**** WHERES MY NAME". Read the damn replies people are putting that are telling you why instead of dismissing them because they dont say "*********** BIOWARE ALL NEED TO DIE I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY"

So they were placeholders? You just admitted that you leveled up to 50 on your first account and had ALL those names ready. Thats the definition of placeholders. Once again, its not biowares fault but yours. From what you said in the OP, you asked them whether deleting a name and then remaking the character and the name would be available. They confirmed this, which is true. The issue you have is that they have banned certain names which they are not alllowed to use contractually. Such as unoriginal names that plagiarize the SW universe. Like Bane. Or Skywalker. Or Solo. Names they are not copyrighted to use, or allow to use. Ive just deleted one of my champions with a name, just recreated another one 20 seconds later with the exact same name. Maybe if you werent so rude to the support, which by the sounds of what you have said to people in this thread, you obviously were. Someone obviously hasnt taught you any manners whatsoever. I still cant believe you're moaning that you cant name your sith "Bane". Such a pitiful thing to moan about.

Has anyone ever told you, that you are a very rude person? So people dont agree with you. Big woop, grow the hell up. And Bane? OH MY GOD. Did you think of that yourself? Its not a "Cool" name. Its already been done, thought of and worked through. Wanna talk about "Cool" names? I had America for my trooper, thats right. "Captain" America. Scully was my IA. You guessed it, "Agent" Scully. I had a Character size 4 Guardian. Completely green Twi, called "Hulk". These are just a number of names with characters that were all between levels 40-50 when i stopped playing just after server merges. Your "Placeholders" were all pre level 10 And honestly, im coming from where you came from. Part of the reason i preordered was to try to get hold of names for toons. Some like the ones above that were a bit funny, one was just my first name. Another was the name ive been known through every MMO ive ever played. Then less than a year later after having made these characters, i was moved servers and had to rename them all (Minus my main one). Was i upset? Yes. Did i understand why the servers had to merge? Yes. I'd much rather a game full of people than being sat on my own in my own little server going "Oooo, Look at my pretty names". And as people have said, if you preordered this game just to preserve names. Issues man. Issues.

Im already subscribed for the year as it is haha. Yearly subscription. Its not that i havent played solely due to thinking it lacked a lot, just didnt have the time with moving out/a new job. Now got a bit more time. Im just apprehensive about going back to see what im going to find if i start from scratch.

Hey all. Title says it all but a bit more info. I started playing in the closed beta, helped test the game. Loved it etc etc. Started playing on early access, took time off work, couldnt stop playing for ages. Then i hit 50 with one account, ive never liked raiding etc so started leveling other accounts but just felt like the long slog was useless because i didnt see much coming out of the Legacy rewards/achievements. Im a huge star wars fan and like i said i love the game itself. I just felt back in the day that some of the interactivity was lacking really badly. Lack of community (Around the F2P Fiasco), no decent LFG function (Which apparently has picked up.) Ive been subscribed to the game since, i actually believe this game could be brilliant. Has it changed that much now that if i was to come back, start leveling again from the 1st character/1st level, that i would find a noticeable difference and enjoy the game more? Asking some of you, loyal and/or satisfied/unsatisfied players on your opinion of the game in its current stage?

Nice way to pull something out of the context he said it in! Lets look at the quote he said shall we? "VO costs cash no story updates to xpacs they even said no story updated when they raise the cap now its F2P meh" He quite clearly says No story updates to Xpacs which is an abbreviation for expansions. He then says "They even said no story updated when they raise the cap". He isnt just saying they wont be adding extra story on the rise of the cap. Which they never said they were doing ANYWAY. They were going to add story content later and raise cap on Makeb. Nothing to do with storyline and i havent seen anything that actually said the Cap raise on Makeb was to do with the story? He is saying that because "VO Costs cash" they wont be doing them anymore. Which is out of his arse because ive seen a number of posts from Devs/Community team saying that they will be adding more story at a later date.

Just to add to this. The event should only require completion up to getting your own starship. The reason being that the Chevin said "Those that cant travel space, need not apply" I reckon it will be more of a "Go here, meet this person, get jumped by scaled enemies on way back to ship, Go here etc etc" Hopefully with a bit more too it.

Thats what i thought, hence why i asked the guy who said "BW Said no more Class Content since its going F2P" I hate people that just pull stuff outta their arse.
