I have the same question. Did you ever get an answer? thx

Great ideas. I agree that any MMO coming out in 2011 should have included more of these features. I couldn't believe how limited the character customization was, but maybe that's because I was spoiled by Champions. Still, only 4 body types? Really? Most of the things in your list have been implemented previously in other games so they should have been included with SWTOR. Why go backwards when releasing a new game in 2011? Even minecraft has day and night. Sheesh.
