Tomorrow is the 35th Anniversary of the release of the first star wars movie which began the franchise. Just wondering if anything was going on in the game to celebrate?

This is exactly why I'm just waiting till I hit 50 and then going down the list/guide to get them all. I accidently found a couple already but waiting to ding 50 for the majority.

Let me ask you another question since so many people bash me for supposedly choosing the wrong server. I actually did some research before just choosing a server and I read all the fatman threads and multiple others in an effort to find one that was in the medium pop range. I was scared of rolling on a server with long ques as when my vacation is over I only get 1-2 hours a day to play. Right now I'm playing 8+ hours but that's because I took some time off work and still have several days of vacation left. For people that can only play 1-2 hours a day a 40+ minute que would kill us. I thought I had chosen well and maybe the game does as many of you suggest start at level 50. In response to that I say how are you going to keep other new players like myself interested long enough to reach that goal? I could live with the fact that I can't find anyone to group with but not even seeing people talking or using chat is disheartening in itself. In most games I've played I often am entertained by the colorful chat of others while I'm out questing but it's not so in this game or at least on my server. People tell me to reroll on this ir that server but honestly I already put 20 hours into my toon and that is a lot for me to dedicate to one thing as my time in real life is precious so I can't afford to just waste 20+ hours. I am low enough level that I am considering it but at the same time I don't understand why I'm being punished for just buying a game and playing it like any normal person. Most people don't research servers before choosing and I thin they just look at the list that is given at the time and choose PvE, PvP, or RP, depending on their playstyle. It does list which servers are hevay or light and which ones are medium. i chose medium but honestly if this is medium I'd hate to see lightly populated.

Well I understand you saying that the 2+ instances are a waste of time and slow you down, but I bought the game hoping to experience everything and when I'm leveling up and get a 2+ quest, I feel like I'm missing out by not doing it. Anyway, I wish there weren't 5 billion servers and they should consolidate some so I can see more than 15 people on at a time

Hello fellow gamers,(if you want to skip to the disgruntled portion go straight to paragraph 3) I'm a long time gamer from back in Everquest days, and I have played SWG for 6 years, WoW for 5.5 years, and many other MMO's. I had originally pre-ordered this game but had to cancel due to real life circumstances and didn't have time to dedicate to it or the money at the time. Fast forward to now and I'm finally in a place where i can play it and enjoy it so i bought the game at gamestop on Saturday afternoon. I installed it Sunday and updated everything and then proceeded to play for 9 hours straight. Yesterday I played another 7-8 hours and I just got done playing about 3 hours today. A lot of that time was spent just taking it all in and exploring, doing every quest i could get my hands on and reading about skills and talent points etc. Here are some problems that I'm already getting tired of and probably will make me not renew my 30 day subscription. I didn't choose a heavily pop server cause i read about the problems fatman was having with que times and whatnot. At the same time I didn't want to choose a low pop server so I chose one in the middle and thought I had made a great choice. Well for the first 10 levels I saw maybe 15 people at the most and it was next to impossible to find a group to do the 2+ man heroic on the starter planet. So I move on from that area to the next one and I do see a few more people but again can't find anyone to do the 2+ heroics. In fact I watched chat and hardly see anyone talking at all. I've seen maybe 5 people out of the 20 hours I've been playing say anything. One guy asked about when he got his first pet, someone else asked about talent trees, and I saw someone ask about where a particular mission was. That was pretty much it, and I saw no one on trade channel and I got zero responses from anyone when I asked about grouping for the 2+ heroic. I feel like I bought a solo game and that's not what I paid for. I realize I'm not yet high enough level to have experienced even 10% of the entire game but so far it is boring and I just run around and see no interaction at all. I will give it a few more levels but honestly if it don't get any better I'll be cancelling my subscription and chalk the whole experience up to I tried it and it wasn't for me. I love Star Wars and I loved SWG pre NGE but I don't feel any epic experience with this game so far.
