I'm enjoying it so far, myself. I was actually intending to take a break after getting all my alts to 55 or 60, but well, here I am.

Yeah I was wondering about that myself.

I previously did the SoR bundle back in May and decided to go ahead and try this. It worked fine, I was able to apply the code for the KOTFE amazon bundle. I did it for my wife too and we both got the sub time and the cartel coins. Our subs were already good until like January so now we're good until March

Anyone else unable to unify colors on companions? I can click the button for the companion customization but it's blank.

Oh thank god, here I was resigned to only getting one or two companions per alt done, but this is beautiful!

When I found out about that I abandoned the idea of rushing the rest of my alts to 55. I got 1 of each class thanks to the 12xp, but I have several secondary alts I was going to speed run but now I can relax a little. I mean I despise some of the planets (mostly trying to navigate around) but I can deal.

It was a reward for subscribing by X date. They aren't going to offer it separately, because not only was it a reward to keep people subbed, it's a reward that allows early access for an expansion that you have to be subbed to play. The OP is suggesting Bioware charge for accessing an expansion 7 days early, that they'll be getting free ANYWAY. Seven days is not worth paying 20+ for. Basically paying more than a whole month's subscription for 7 days. Again it was a reward. If someone was paying for a subscription and not actually playing just to get 7 days access, that's on them. Most people would have been playing during that time anyway, so the reward is exactly what it should be, a bonus. Honestly I won't even be bothering with early access myself. I subbed purely for the xp boost (well and also for the cosmetic rewards). I just finished my 9th character to 55 so I'll actually be taking a break from serious play, and even when I come back in a few weeks I won't even touch KOTFE because my 60 still hasn't done Ziost yet, so I want to do that first. Maybe. We'll see how I feel after patching is done tuesday, I may just speed through Ziost and then hit KOTFE on my 60 anyway. But honestly, early access has only ever mattered (imo) when a game is first launching and you have the Great Name Rush. I've never seen the big deal about expansion early access.

The servers go down at 2:30am pacific time on the 20th according to the recent post. So I'm wondering if the boost will just go to the last minute or if it will turn off sooner.

What about the main planetary storylines for the 1-50 planets?

Anyone know? Like will it end at 12:01am on the 19th, or 11:59pm, or somewhere in between?

Romances at least aren't a problem for me. I play all female characters and I don't like any of their romance options. But the multiple choices could be a problem, except I think they'll go with the most likely, or the human one.

Damn it. Well with 12x xp maybe I can speed run her tonight and tomorrow. I actually have all 8 at 55 (almost, BH is almost at 55) but I wanted to use the boost to make a DS jedi without having to play it all over again, for RP reasons. I guess I'll use the boost with a different alt

I've read somewhere that LS and DS choices will be locked in by class, instead of say, getting an option to select light or dark when you create the character. Is this true? I wanted to boost a jedi knight but make her dark side.

I hope it's midnight, I'll get an hour to work on a character before bed! VPN would solve all security issues. I actually work from home, using a VPN tunnel and 2-factor authentication. I do over the phone tech support for an ISP. The only thing they gave me was the phone, I had to use one of my own computers! None of the software is actually installed on it, its all on a server and uses the VPN to make it look like its on the computer. Back during the beta of this game I remember they used to post from home sometimes. Or maybe that was another game. Either way, VPN or bust.

I honestly never liked that changing appearance at the kioks used cartel coins. It's the only MMO I've ever played that didn't offer an in game credit option for appearance changes. And that includes multiple F2P games. At the very least subscribers should have a credit option. It's just greedy. It's not so bad since we get free cartel coins. It just means I can't change my hair every week like I do in other games. It is what it is and we just have to deal.
