Its an idea I have had for a while. You look at the guilds in the game, Some of us have characters on both sides. Making it easier for us to get in touch with guildmates and friends. I play my dark side characters a lot and a friend of mine plays his light side. If we could have cross side guilds. It would make things a lot easier on us players and possibly bring the in game economy up. I have no idea how hard it would be to program, but it could be a good idea.

Also another issue that Bioware is having, is the last two founding fathers. So to speak are retiring. So that might be another underlying issue. I want this game to succeed its just getting harder and harder to root for the underdog. With great games like City of Heroes going down. Who is to say that this game will last...

I watched the livestream, and I have to say. The fact that everything was soon or in the works bugs me. They tease HK-51 and the Cathar yet nothing has a set date. Its like they are using these things to keep us around. I am a loyal Star Wars and Bioware fan. Yet nothing was really answered besides the Cartel stuff. I have played other MMO's that have done live streams. ( City of Heroes) Where things were hinted at and what not. Yet the stream was over an hour long. A half hour isn't long enough to answer anything really. I like that they are trying to interact with the community, but things need to happen. Questions need to be answered. Those of us on the test server, are wiling to help. Find bugs and glitches, but the questions need to be answered.

I understand everyone's feelings here. I have been thinking the same things. Will this kill the game. I was on earlier this morning 12 am to about 5 am. There was only 22 people on the Fleet which sacred me. I have never seen so few people on the fleet ever. I also have my own issues, with what has been going on with the game. Loosing the only RP PVP server on the west coast sucked. I lost my home server. I transferred to another server and have had bad lag issues. Hell my lag was at 1700 something around 2pm yesterday. I want to love this game. I want to support BioWare. I just can't find it in me to trust EA... Yes with the F2P we will have the random trolls and what not. The question is, how will it effect me. F2P isn't the end I hope. If they do things right the game could continue running strong. Look at companies that have made it work. City of Heroes. They have been running strong for years. I'm not pushing that way of doing things. I just want to feel that I am getting my monies worth if I am paying to have access to the whole game. I know the Devs wont read most of this at all. I also know they have already made up their minds on how things will progress. All I ask is that, the game continue.

I am also curious about the value of the Cartel coins and what other perks those with a sub will get. Considering I played City of Heroes and had a sub. Yet I didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth in game. I also am wwondering if a player that is playing the free version can join groups and guilds?

I understand your fears. I myself was thinking the same thing. Yes EA has destroyed many things in it career. Not up to or including other game franchises or movie licenses. Over all though, Mass Effect 3 was a decent game. (I say decent because I haven't finished it yet myself) I implore all the Bioware fans not to give up on them. They have created great games for all of us to play through. They earned the right to be a 5 star game development company. EA on the other hand just has more money. So they did what anyone with money does, they bought something. This something was Bioware. Then EA decided to put timelines and what not on every game Bioware has. So in the end it's EA not Bioware.

I understand many of the fears of the players. Yet I fully support this move. I fully support Bioware. Yes, I do have a few issues. Yet I will still be playing this game, because Star Wars means something. It was part of my childhood growing up. The few fond memories I have of my childhood was when my father and I would sit down and watch the movies. I refuse to give up on this game. Why, you ask. My answer is as simple as this Bioware doesn't disappoint and neither does Star Wars. Many other games have succeeded while being F2P. Look at City of Heroes, Or any of the multiple others that you can search that you can download. People are just scared that their personal experience will change, because of the people who don't take the game seriously. You can ignore said people.

I am all for the mini games. Considering we already have space combat. If we had Swoop racing or any other game I would fully support and play them. I enjoy having random down time on specific planets to try and elaborate on the story of the planet. Please add them

I loved swoop racing in Kotor. If it was added to ToR I would love it even more. It would also add, to the space combat aspect. If you have your guild start a swoop gang and try to become the best racers in the galaxy. It would add more of a fun aspect to being on different planets. It would make getting credits easier as well. My opinion is please add it.

I enjoy playing this game, but I have a life outside of the game. I mostly work nights so I am not on much. Yet when ever I do have a chance to be on. I end up having to cut my game short because of the random server maintenance. I can understand a few quick fixes and a fix a week, all MMO's have those issues. Yet I am playing this game. Why, because I have always been a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoy the stories. I am slightly annoyed at the fact that every time I am on and I just get into the game there is a maintenance issue. I apologize for my agitation but, as a gamer who has played just about every MMO there is out there. I have to say if I'm paying for a game and loosing servers and having 75 ms lag. Then having issues with respawns along with some boss battles like the glitch that was on the black talon flashpoint. I understand that these issues need to be handled yet these issues have been going on since the game came out. Then there is the server lock and transfers. I just don't know what to do when I am told/ forced to leave my home server Ajunta Pall, the only PVP RP west coast server. Loosing the west coast sever hurt a lot. Considering many of the people on that sever where friends of mine that joined after the fall of CoH (City of Heroes) Now we are all dust in the wind so to speak. Now more than half the servers are locked. Then there is the heavy load for Begeren Colony. Which is now my new home server. I can wait for the servers to be fixed and all I would just like to play the game, considering I am paying for it. I support the tech people completely. Its just that having multiple days a week when the servers go down is kinda sad. It hurts the gamers and keeps us from doing what we want to do. We may be in a flashpoint, Warszone or even an operation. When we get the 15 min. warning. Which holds us back as gamers. So please, please. I beg you admins and tech people. Fix the issues so that I and others like me can enjoy your game. That many of us have waited 9 years for. Please, regulate the server fixes. Especially since we had maintenance on the 10th, then scheduled maintenance on the 12th, and then again today on the 13th?

Why exactly is it that every time I try to play a game I am paying for it is down? This is starting to get annoying. I understand that things need to be taken care of, but why exactly are there two server fixes and updates a week minimum? Also why was I told to transfer from my home server Ajunta Pall to another server? You all want more players on the server yet you lock and or take down other servers that people like to be on, because they can actually play with little to no lag issues. Yet here I am typing this, I am a big fan of Star Wars and I always have been, but this is getting ridiculous. I am trying to understand. I want to play but how can I when the servers are down? I am getting to the point of not playing due to the fact that I pay to play a game that is never up. Also why exactly are you forcing three servers on to one server that is a dumb idea in general. The population of each of those servers will cause more issues than it is worth.

Thank all of you for the info it helps a lot

Is there a definitive answer on who the Emperor is. Considering if it is Reaven we are all going to die, because he/she depending on what you played. Still has the Star Forge as far as I can remember. If the Star Forge is still around then we have no hope of fighting back. So BioWare and everyone else in charge need to tell us. Who the Emperor is dang it!!! I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I loved the first Kotor. I play Sith mostly so knowing would help a lot.
