Wouldn't mind a few night owls or -5 to -8 timezone peeps.

I've not even logged into the game yet, but heard Ilum is a disaster. If it's true that Imperials are able to mass farm turrets for Valor, this pretty much kills PvP for me. Having access to Battlemaster gear far ahead of the other faction, due to exploitation of a poorly designed system will be the nail in the coffin for a lot of Republic players, including myself. A rollback on Valor and a disabling of Ilum needs to happen, and leave it closed till you guys re-think of a fair and balanced Open World PvP game design. Don't rush to meet a deadline, just lock the ###### down.

To be fair, a lot of this is probably coming to the game eventually. If they were to have added these pre-launch, we probably would have had to wait another 2 years before released, going back on their statement that the game would be launched in 2011. And don't forget a lot of these features you are requesting aren't exactly game-breaking, no game has released with all of those features. Too many people out there with this instant gratification syndrome expecting a fully loaded, bug free MMO on launch. Personally, I think the game is in a good state, being that it's only been out for 2 weeks. Would be nice if they communicated with us more on their plans for future content, rather than whispers of secrets. Only thing now I can think would put me off the game is if they announced a planned expansion before fixing the majority of the bugs.

We're just over one week from the official launch, and as already stated, many people ain't even 50 yet. I can't believe that anyone could really be bored at 50, there is almost as much to do as there is in any other MMO at max level. The only thing I can imagine holding anyone back is the lack of 50s to group with for raiding and flashpoints. Anyone complaining about being bored already are the same people that are bored in all MMOs they play as soon as the shine wares off. They devour the top layer of content and are too lazy too dig any deeper to explore the rest of the game. You can't please these people, and other ignorant players parrot what they say as if it was their own conclusion.

First thing I did (am doing) is getting all the datacrons. Then I'll finish up on any quests I didn't complete (ala Loremaster), as I have a good head start on most people in my guild and server.

5 days, 10 hours. Got in on the first wave, dinged 50 on Boxing Day (26th). A lot of it (guess: 8 hours?) will have been from afking to avoid logging out, and getting stuck in the server queue. Edit: This was without spacebaring through conversations.

This seems like a really odd move by Bioware to not include server forums. Considering in their previous statements they mentioned how they like the idea of a server community, which has been disappearing in other games that feature automated, cross server, group finders and warzones, yet they take two steps back and not give us an organized gathering point for players to chat outside of the game. Reminds me a lot of the mistake Mythic made by not having official forums at the get go for Warhammer Online. Yes there will be cat calling, flaming and trolling, but you take the good with the bad, that is what makes a community. Everyone has a personality or persona they like to project in-game and on their local forums, so let them. If you want to be different in how they are handled, then just change the way they are moderated, and give us a platform for us to be able to discuss local topics, rather than scouring through pages to find topics aimed at the correct server. As in it's current form, it discourages communication and for people to socialize and interact, which should be a staple for any MMO.

If you want to keep the majority of the default keybindings (WASD, etc), I suggest using numbers 1 - 6 then use modifiers such as Ctrl, Alt and Shift. That's 24 keys right there, not including mouse buttons, G (rebind), C (rebind), R, ` and more. Plan to do a guide on the keybindings I use, soon. Once I hit 50 and have the full selection of abilities to layout.

What server are most of the Farstar players migrating to?
