I just recently returned myself. I have been gone since December 2017. Seems they added some story elements, companion returns, and some other minor stuff. It looks like they have some more DLC coming here shortly. On the subject topic, I'm sure someone can fill you in but I would advise checking out the patch notes since you were gone. You can often find a lot of detail to stuff that was added in. http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes

In your case since you were the only subscriber and your family members are not, the guild will stay in your hands when you unsubscribe. I remember there being a stipulation about a guild when everyone was a f2p or preferred player I just can't remember the details. Something about not having all the guild functions. When and if you turn turn your subscription back on all the guild functions will be restored. I think...........heh.

Oh calm down. They opened the apac servers a couple months after launch. Close enough.

To many of the younger generation have already been mentally conditioned to accept these micro transactions as everyday occurrences to make any huge impacts. For every 1 person who will make a stand there are 9 more behind them that have no problem with the way things are. For any meaningful change to take place it will take new laws to be put in place to curtail the businesses behavior.

Actually I did if you bothered reading past the first sentence. 😉 Nice try.

Major / Minor Social Boost

My PC don't work. Here are three specs! Help!!!!!!!! /Picardfacepalm

Fastest way? Doing group content. Killing bosses in flashpoints with others and operations grants social points along with conversation choices. There is a buff for social points that drops out of gambling boxes. They usually sell fairly cheap on the GTN. For the alignment choices, there is no fastest way. Just do content with your alignment set to your preferred side. Quests, group content, pvp matches, and crafting missions will grant alignment points.

It's most likely a bug. There have been questions raised in chat since the patch with people asking the same thing. As you probably already noticed, doing any activities doesn't add any additional xp to the bar. The max legacy level is still 50.

Bioware catering to you anti MMO grouping type is exactly why we are in this situation where they had to merge their remaining servers, dump their last producer, and refocus their development time to create more group content. MMOs don't stay online by hosting dead empty servers so you solo types can frolic around and roleplay with npcs. If playing group content and interacting with people bothers you go play some offline rpgs.

Always cracks me up when people play an MMO but don't like any of the MMO aspects of the game. Maybe stick to single player offline games.

Yes it works if you are already a subscriber. You buy the package, Amazon sends you the code, and you plug it in for 90 days of sub time. It slaps it right on to your current plan. It just adds 90 days to it. You will also get those 2400 coins right away as well.

Just a reminder for everyone looking to save a little bit on subscription costs. The amazon package deal is still selling for 40 dollars. It gives you three months of sub time, 2400 cartel coins, and a pet. Amazon Swtor Package

Hello and welcome to the game. Check out Dulfy's website for guides on the game and class guides as well. http://dulfy.net/category/swtor/ Also check out the three month pack on amazon if you are looking in staying a little while. 3 months plus coins for less than the actual subscription cost for three months.

I hate to break it to you but it's like that already. Kills inside the instance count for the bonus. I routinely clear one group outside for the passkey and finish the bonus inside the instance. Really.
