Chico! (For school right now, last semester!). Otherwise I live in the Mt. Shasta area (but I'm not there very often since I'd rather stay where real internet is).

I have a level 29 Assassin (right now) along with my level 50/43 on the Republic side, so I would hazard a guess that I will be ready when 1.3 goes live (or whenever it comes out). I made it just because I wanted to play it even prior to this announcement of HK. But, I will still try for it (probably not when it comes out since it might be rather difficult to complete within the first two weeks).

I personally would love to have more than 8 character slots per world. I am one of those people that enjoys playing each and every specialization of a class that there is because they are all different in terms of game play. The fact that there is only 8 does not help the fact that I also had characters on the destination server (since mine was rather low population after D3 came out) and I was maxed out on my original server. I had to leave 4 characters behind (26, which I am sad about, 23, which I am also sad about, 17, and a 14) because I had no room. In order to actually play some of the other classes I have to play on another server (Drooga's) so I can enjoy them, but none of my other guildmates/people I know play on those servers. (I know two on Ebon Hawk and that is about it.)

I lost one to myself, if that counts for anything? My Sage from Soresu was named the same thing as my Marauder on The Harbringer and I decided to keep both, so I renamed my sage the name of the low level sage I deleted to transfer her. Overall not a big loss. And I didn't even lose my legacy, but then again, I don't know who else would have the same name. (I like Metroid.)
