I have a friend who had an active account during the time window where they are awarding the free Stronghold and he got the email with the title...however his subscription just ran out yesterday and he doesnt have the option to claim the Nar Shadda stronghold. Is this intended?

Anyone else not able to log in to the launchpad atm? I wad mid game, kicked back to server select, and then out enitrely to desktop. Can't get back in ..

The server is currently down for maintenance at this time of 3:39am EST. Will I possibly have enough time to squeeze out one win before it allegedly resets at 7am EST?

Thank you...I no longer feel the need to express myself today on this one..

Hmm, how many times will we return for this shard..? Is this really a design draw to bring players to this planet? ugh..

Like I said, I was not playing for awhile. And no, get your medical card and your own green. But, back to the subject heheh

Actually I havent for the most part...well shoot...you may have me here a bit...but loved SWG open world...Age Of Conan open world....not gonna mention past the 5 to your argument and SWG is. I havent touched other mmorpgs between

I know less people like you apparently than you know of people like me... But at least ive heard of people like you and knew you werent myth.

/waves

I think this team just went out for pizza... /endrant

This is 0 surprise to me.

So..do that...let us play on one of the ONLY other places we can pvp other than warzones...no? (and yeah yeah, i guess i could goto tat...if someones there..oh wait, not enough incentive as Illum was..or I could stand on the one or two other planets you can even physically come in contact with red players...hmmm...no I think my generalization is correct here...it was pretty much illum or warzones...or on illum doing your missions for that, the bonus xp for turning the planet...while queued for warzones....that was it folks, i said it)

Thanks, at least that comment supports the evidence so far with this topic. This allllll makes sense then NOW, lol. I dont need to return to this post now

Whats more damaging or embarrassing from a company / entertainment provider standpoint? A pvp planet that is not perfect or extremely successful yet in its realization and use, and work on revamping it? Or... An empty broken planet due to currently being "turned off" ? hahah, enough for me here on this topic. ill check back later and see if someone can provide any official info i couldnt find that can intelligently explain this change. Thanks for at least relaying they state it will be coming back in some way or another.

So leave the dang missions that brought SOME pvp there and work on the revamp? Im sorry, im absolutely baffled and STUNNED..

Well whatever the reason was (which I still want to know..) here is the result : 1) I dont acquire the mission 2) Because I dont have the mission, I dont go to the directed location and neither do most other players, Illum (ill pvp wherever it is, this is one of those locations, formerly, dont even try it pvp purists...lol) 3. This means I dont pvp on Illum, just like many other players. Illum Planet inception and intention Design : A large scale pvp planet Genius...

What in God's name was the reason to remove it only to bring it back again? Was there a broken part of the map we never heard about? Seriously, why?

Seriously, I can usually come up with some logical assumption why a change was made. I am completely stumped on this one.... Who in a board meeting said "ynow I think we should remove the pvp missions on Illum...it would remove players from populating that planet.." Wasnt there another meeting that that guy didnt attend that discussed the PROBLEM with illum getting enough players out there to pvp and how to solve THAT problem?!?!! Seriously..WT%%%$$#@!

And why does this forum allow me to rate my own thread that I just created? lol, hmm

So I havent played in awhile and I log back in to discover there has been changes made to armor/pvp zones/etc.. Great. But...ah, wth did they do to Illum? Already it was tough from time to time to get pvp there, but at least the daily and weekly missions kept people on the planet between war zones and also centralized around Mid.... SOOOO...they took out the Illum missions...and in turn PVP on the planet...?! Can someone PLEASE explain the logic I am surely missing in this calculated move?

OPEN WORLD PVP SHOULD REWARD VALOR!!!! This is ASTOUNDING that this is missing... I cant even remember a game I have played where you are not rewarded for pvping in the open world... (Why did I even join an open world pvp server if there is NO mechanic in place to reward it, seriously!?!?!?!!!?) THIS IS A GLARINGLY OBVIOUS MISSING FEATURE SO I WILL SCREAM IN CAPS OUT OF FRUSTRATION, YES!!!! FIX IT !@!!!!

Fatman by far... go where the pvp will be, make your character there
