Corellia was such a driven experience on the Sith side. I just felt so naturally moving from each part to each part. The urgency of it was great. Belsavis had the epic of freeing the Dread Lords. Imperial Taris was fun with the whole Thana Vesh thing, though she was so incompetent it was hard to take her seriously.

Hello Ebon Hawk, I have recently come back to the game and am looking to find a guild. I'm mostly interested in doing Ops and heroic Flashpoints, PvP to some extent as well. I have a lvl 50 assassin and that's about it right now, though I am slowly leveling some other alts. He's mostly geared for PvP, haven't really had a group of people to run heroics with to get PvE gear. I'm open the idea of running either DPS or Tanking (though the latter intimidates me). I've got experience raiding from other MMOs, mostly as DPS. I'm open to the idea of RPing. I've done a lot of SW RPing at a site called The Gungan Council, but never RP'd in an MMO before. The idea of it is kind of weird to me, very foreign, though I'm open to it. However, it is not really the primary thing I want to be doing with a guild. Thanks, Kecyon

Oh, I'd love to have my names back, don't get me wrong, but I'm fine with the situation. I kind of knew that mine were going to be taken. I hoped one of the two that I lost was not going to be but in the end no big deal. He was a just a lvl2 anyways who I was going to get around to leveling sometime. Would it make me a bit upset if I found out that my characters name was on some unused toon? Yeah... I'd be a little upset, but I'm not going to go hunt down to see who is using my name because... what does it do for me if I look? If I find out that it is a barely used toon, I'm not happy. If I find out it is a toon used a lot... ok I'm at least happy they're playing but I'm still not happy they have my name. But really what it boils down to I think is that... I have to think of it as not being my name. It is just a name. That other person has just as much of a right to it as I do. They just happened to win the server lottery

I have... a Rattataki, a Cyborg, a Pureblood, and a chiss.

As much as she was a fun character to contend with on Taris, she was a moron who I would have hated to travel around with. lol. She served her purpose in the story excellently. I would not ask for more.

I mean... I still feel like Lord Adraas should have been a destination server, but I'm fine moving to the larger community of Ebon Hawk. In the end... it makes no difference to me. I'm still playing the game, and it is fun. There are people to play with, which is good. It is nice to be on a server with more people, but even that is not a big deal to me. I wouldn't want to be in a ghost town of course, but from what I left to what I got... its not that big of a deal. I am sure there are people that appreciate it more than I.

He would likely be more frustrated and he'd be complaining about that. Look, I lost a name that I've RP'd under for years. I lost two actually, and yeah that sucks but not a big deal to me. Do you know why? Because I'm still me and that character is still the same person. Names, while important, don't necessarily mean everything. Changing a name doesn't change the character. The character will be the same no matter what. Also, if you're a good RPer then you should be able to cope with changing a name because you can conceive of a reason for the name to change. It might take work, but big deal. And complaining because a placeholder has your name is invalid. It is a placeholder for a reason. Perhaps they also value that name a lot, but don't have the time to level that character yet. I've got a few lvl1-10s holding on to some names that I value until I leveling them. That might take awhile because I don't have the time to play as much as I would like. Also, perhaps... if you're on an RP server some of the placeholders aren't leveled because some people are taking their time to RP a bunch in low level zones as a low level character (an odd idea for sure, but conceivable). They aren't killing much, doing many quests, so they advance slowly. What else... and yes. It sucks. I transferred from Lord Adraas, a fairly healthy server and probably one were east coast RP servers should have transferred to as an alternative to Ebon Hawk, so it blows to lose my names. I'm not sure that my server should have been put up to transfer from, but that's the hand I was dealt. Bioware went about solving a problem in the best way that they thought would work, and at this point... nothing is going to really change that decision. So really the option is... cope with the situation or... I don't even know... ragequit?

I think to say that they are somehow funny is... wrong. You might find the humorous but load up with them the knowledge of who they are and what facing down with one of them would mean and they become terrifying. If the mouth moving is just a graphical glitch it is still cool. To me it paints them out to be something... less than human or alien. They're creatures of the darkside, giving up what it means to be a normal sentient. They've become with their mantra of fear and dread. Plus it made them actually have character. Before they just looked like a group of inquisitors. Big deal. Now they really are something different. You can't get the armor to look like them (and given how some of ya'll are you don't want that, I get that but I would -love- to rock one of their masks). They are unique and threatening.

Loved it. Fantastic community event. The working together that I saw on both sides was really great.

I agree. That would be rather sick.

Well. I understand the closing it out. It makes sense. I do not expect them to extend it, nor would I ask them to do so. It would certainly benefit me, I was under the impression that the event mostly catered to the lvl 50s so I did not jump on board very early. I regret that, and own that as my own lack of research. The only one at fault for not getting the full containment suite is myself. I managed to get the two raklings, and a crystal I'll be using when I ding, so in my mind I got the cooler stuff anyways. I didn't care for the companions who have the infection customs so I'm not worried about that (though I may spend the next few hours trying to get some boxes just because). If they did extend it... I wouldn't complain. I would be a little happy. It would give me a chance to fix my screw up. I think it would be nice if they did a one day, every quest is open sort of deal. But I feel that starts a dangerous precedent. However, my one case for extending it would be... it has certainly helped the community. But hey, I view this as the first of many fantastic events that they will be rolling out. I will also be far more diligent in the next ones.

You made me happy. I'm getting tired of all the people that are crying over pennies. This though, this was refreshing.

/facepalms Another thread where people complain about something that is not an issue, and of course this is the topic that is most often cried about. 1) You clearly do not care for the world because Star Wars is a battle been the lightside and the darkside. The SW universe is not built around neutrality (which by the way does not exist anywhere in the real world). 2) If you the play the game past the very beginning it is incredibly hard to actually sit in the middle. My sith inquisitor sometimes got lightside points because the options that were given were "lawl kill" or "pragmatic" and for whatever reason the pragmatic reason was lightside. I can cope with this. The vast majority of the time my options are clearly darkside. 3) To be neutral is to be nothing. You are a nobody. Someone who truly does not have a moral compass and just exists to exist. In the end why should you reap rewards or benefits for that? Why should you gain benefits for not committing? It is not like the game forces you into anything, never have I been motivated by gear in any of my choices. 4) Gear with the perks are not that much better. You're squabbling over pennies. 5) Diplomacy fixes all your woes. You get to play the game the way you want and now you can just go and blast your companions on mission to get the points you need to get that gear you oh so covet.

I am absolutely baffled as to why people hate the fact that they have to make decisions in the game. People want to reap the benefits of everything without actually having to make a choice....

Given that ya know... Star Wars is a battle been the lightside and the darkside... I just do not get these problems. I do find that on the Imperial side some of the options that give lightside points are a little wonky. In the end though after playing up to level 20 as my Sith Sorceror I had only gotten 150 lightside points for taking options that were pragmatic instead of outright evil. I never had an issue, and given that my Sith is evil it works out perfectly fine. Republic has some wonky stuff going on as well. My trooper is meant to be a bit more cutthroat no nonsense but pro-Republic which leads to a difficulty in accumulating points but ya know what... that's the character. If cannot get perks from it, meh. Then those OPTIONS then those CHOICES do not get to reap some benefits. I am ok with that because I played those options. I am gratified by taking those options.
