Thanks.

Pardon me if this has been brought up already. I'm not tech savvy by any stretch. I am curious that with the server merges coming, will the ports used for Port forwarding on my modem change at all? I am one of the fortunate people who live on the East Coast, so the server location shouldn't be that much of an impact. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I believe I read somewhere that BLOOM and SHADOWS are the two things that effect performance the most. If you turn off Bloom and turn off all Shadows, you could run everything on higher settings without a performance drop off. EDIT: As for windowed mode, I have no damned clue. In World of Warcraft playing in Windowed Mode is supposed to reduce performance according to the info boxes that pop up in the settings menu. How running Windowed improves performance for this game, but not WoW confuses the crap outta me. They really should have a recommended settings button in the graphics settings menu like WoW. At least you would have a starting point to work from.

I would say to play the game any way you want. If you want a Cathar BH, then go for it. There are "good" and "bad" people in all the different species in the Star Wars Universe. Why limit yourself? Play the way you want and enjoy the game. There really is no wrong species to roll a BH with. And with the lightside/darkside integration in the game you can be a BH that's honorable and follows the path of lightside or a hunting killing machine that follows the darkside. Have fun. The Chiss are really one of the few alien species that the empire really accepts. If you follow the lore, you will see that for the most part Chiss tend to side more with the Empire. Grand Admiral Thrawn is a perfect example, who by the way is now part of the official lore.

Have you tried queing for the flashpoint through the group finder? That's the way that I usually get the FP. I actually haven't tried going through the entrance next to where you pick up the mission.

I'm pretty sure all accounts are completely seperate from one another. This would mean you can't transfer toons from one account to another account. I think this is done so you won't be able to have someone level a toon for you and pay them for it. If anyone else has more info on this I'm sure they will fill you in with more detail. Sorry.

No. You will have to create a new account to get a new name.

Don't play 3 days straight. Take a break, walk outside, do something else and come back in a day or so. It is easy to get burnt out on these type games. I'm guessing in those three days you logged a crap ton of hours in the game. Just take a break. :)

Teach us O Great and Powerful Email Guru, Teach us!!

Kinda answered your own question. It sucks, but what are we gonna do at this point? Short of unsubscribing. I'm pretty sure they are banking on that we won't. So bend over and enjoy.

Thanks for suggestions guys. I switched over to a hotmail account. Hopefully the mail comes through. I listed all the addresses needed on my contacts list, and checked spam filters, etc. If I don't get mail now, then it has to be on EA/BW's end, right? Also, have one more question. Do free to play accounts get any promo emails if they are opted in? I ask because my brother wants to start to play, but wants to start out as FTP. We are both curious if he will get any emails if he is opted in? Or do you actually have to be a paying sub to get emails? I've always been a sub so have no idea to the answer. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the great info. I went through and double-checked, since I did this back in February after the first mailing of the CC code email. My spam filter is still disabled, as it was back in February. I've pretty much given up on the whole ordeal and will now switch email addresses. It's the last thing I wanted to do, but it's the only thing I haven't done yet. Really, thanks alot guys. The help and info. has been great.

It does help. Thank you very much for doing that for me. I never got it. So these promo emails are obviously not reaching my inbox. Guess I gotta call comcast or something. Thanks again.

Never got that email. Did they just send that new promo out? I'm about to switch my damned email or something.

Exactly. I have yet to get any email that has a code, or even any promo emails period. Not to repeat myself again, but I was opted in and I had them on my safe senders list and nothing. I'm far from as tech savy as some like dr_mike, but like he said I never got the email. It does not matter how many times it was sent, it never arrived.
