Moving characters may not be that easy with legacy between characters. Im also on a dead server with a 50, but if I start a character on another populated one... Will they merge my legacy points? Will I lose my new one if I want to salvage my old?
Will they even let me transfer from a low to high population server? Or will 10 lows be allowed to transfer to 2 select lows thereby making those more populated?
Lots of unanswered questions and it gets tricky with legacy.
True. I occasionally see a merc commendations chest which just reminds me how the token system sucks.
I think it also exists to be the major ganking area of lowbies by 50's since you are already there...
Truth. Impossible to group, do business, recruit, or do anything when 90% of the time one or all of my chat channels are completely broken. Biggest groups I ever see in the game are in the cantina before servers go down.
They will never fix this because some classes have quests on the orbital stations.
I hate when I get off my ship at new planet and I was supposed to use my ship holoterminal. Imagine if you fast traveled to your ship to discover you actually needed to use the orbital bay but now your coming from the wrong direction cause the story quest had a sith lord who was going to jump you.
Yeah. This is a story element - not fixable.
This is correct. Shards can run on multiple hardware servers. A server as you see it is not just one physical server, its several.
OP mentioned PVP/PVE/RP thats also correct - only differences you need is the server config. Also don't forget East Coast / West Coast / Europe differentiations.
Otherwise the servers are irrelevant. Only reason I can see why we have them is to make getting character names and guild names easier.
He said it would be free to play by end of 2012.
That doesn't mean he doesn't want to play it now.
Or that he's not willing to pay $15 a month now.
Where does him saying it's going to go free to play = him not wanting to play until it does?
Reading comprehension isn't what it used to be.
This IS a real issue. Many people I know have been affected by it including me. Its very annoying, intermittent and disruptive to playing the game, conducting business, etc.
LOL it would take two days if you do have the problem... Lying perhaps? Or maybe stuttering memory leaks and lagging are part of his preferred gaming experience.
