The republic wookie is standing still but rocking his head to the side, the same way those guys dance in that Saturday Night Live skit that became the movie "A Night at the Roxbury" to the music "What is love? Baby don't hurt me...".

Someone in a server forum was asking about the best way to invite people to their guild, and was wondering why they were getting lots of angry responses and being /ignored. So I put together this small guide to aid in effectively creating/running a guild. If I missed anything, please post it so that this thread can help everyone who wants to create a good guild. Make sure your guild name is something kewl, it should have the name of the server you play on in it so that it looks more official. If the guild name is already taken, just put an X-x around it. Also it is best if you don't capitalize any of the letters in your guild name, but if you must then make the entire guild name UPPERCASE or MiXeD CaSe, these methods tell everyone that you're kewl and that they should join your guild. When inviting people it is best just to use /who to see who is on your planet, and /ginvite people directly. Simply putting your guild ad in general chat is going to miss some people who have general chat turned off, so contacting them directly benefits you and them both. Another strategy that works well is to run around the starter area and invite anyone you see without a guild tag. The majority of these players are new to the game and don't even know what a guild is, so you are helping them out. When you are forming your guild automatically make everyone who joins early an officer. Everyone knows that these are the best people to run a guild and oversee others. Also make sure to change the names of your guild ranks to military ranks if your character is a trooper, or if you are a force using class then you should name your ranks after the jedi/sith rank hierarchy. All of these things speak kewl to people. Also important is setting up a teamspeak, mumble, or ventrilo server because it is most important that everyone talk to the girls in the guild. This is especially important while everyone in your guild is levelling up their characters and you are not raiding. If someone doesn't use your voice chat server then they are not kewl and should not be afforded any promotions within the guild. Guild promotions should be based on how often people agree with what you have to say in guild chat, and anyone that has more level 55's than you do is a threat and should be kicked from the guild in order to secure your position as guild leader. This ties in directly with running raids; because you are the guild leader you are the most qualified person to fill this role. Because you are leading the raid, and because you are the guild master, you also should get first dibs on drops, even if you just plan on ripping out one of the mods and vendoring the shell. It is also really important to setup a guild website on one of the free hosting services and then require everyone in your guild to "register" there. The really kewl guilds setup a Facebook group that you must join, this way you can see who they are in real life and they can proudly show all their friends and future employers that they are part of a kewl guild in a video game.

I partially agree with the OP. Even though the stat bonuses are not game breaking, they are nice to have. And some of the holocrons are pretty hard to get to. However, I don't believe the datacron matrix shards should be added to the legacy system. For those of you who think that every character should have to collect the holocrons, I hope you are being honest about this belief and not using the items from your Collections, including crystals, rocket boots, HK-51, Treek, etc. If you're using them and arguing that holocrons should be per-player then that's being hypocritical.

I made a boat-load of credits this weekend by buying Slicing 450 missions and selling thermal regulators. If you are just relying on lockboxes to generate credits you're doing it wrong. Lockboxes are just there to help offset the cost of leveling the profession. None of the professions generate an innate profit, you have to resell your goods on the market. Why should slicing be any different?

As the title says, would you recognize your character's voice actor if you overheard them in real life? After playing a Sage to level 55, I've come to associate the voice with my character's appearance, so it throws me off when I'm in an FP and I hear the same voice on a different looking character. I think that if I were in a public place I would probably recognize the voice actor who did the Consular class if I heard him speaking.
