  1. People seem to get all that, they are just pointing out on a scale of 1-10 for changes needed in this game, a character name overhaul is like a 3 at best. The risks for the rewards is also pretty lacking if BW screws it up in the long run.
  2. I'm unsure if this conflict with the speeder access between subscribers and F2P players, I would definitely post something on the Customer Service forums (although the response may be slow due to the holiday).
  3. I take it that the lvl 40 requirement is still in place. In which case, it's use would be that you can purchase the speeder training with real money instead of spending credits on it. I forgot how much rank 2 pilot training costs but if its above 140K credits then you still made a good deal off it. If it's cheaper then you just got ripped off.
  4. Jumping the gun a bit don't you think? Server population always jumps high after a big update. I'm just looking forward to the next quarterly results in hopes of hearing a more defined count on subscriptions in hope that it has risen since the last estimate.
  5. I may just be immune to the finer details of what makes a name thanks in due part to a web series that hi-jacked it from me while I was asleep... Nothing like waking up one morning to people sending you whispers asking if your some girl from a show you've never heard of before (). I've always just gone by the philosophy that a name is what you make it, not the other way around. My name could be fluffies and I could still be known as "The Destroyer of Worlds" if that's how I choose to represent that name.
  6. Lets see, character names that I use: Codex Cödex Côdex Còdex Codêx Codëx Codèx Côdêx Côdëx . . Codek Cödek . . Kodex etc... 108 different variations (near a thousand if I throw in some ' into the mix), and all based off one name! Is it really that hard to beat the system?
  7. Some days it's not worth chewing through the straps.
  8. Now begs the question of would you believe them if they said it was on there to-do list? (I think they mentioned it at some point but I have no links to back it up, sorry) Right up there with: -Same gender marriage -Space combat overhaul -Open world PvP overhaul -Class story expansions Priority wise, I'm not even sure where it would fit in considering the easy work around to the problem right now is to be creative with new name. Frustrating as it is, and with the loss of users over it, It's hard to actually create a strong argument for BW to put a focus on this issue overall. At least compared to other problems at hand.
  9. Keep in mind, the legacy change took 2-months for them to implement which is why server merges took so long to release to begin with (they had it in beta but it broke with the creation of the legacy). It also only effected the legacy tree, which did have bugs after transfers. The name change would effect character data, instance ownership, item creations, account data, and cartel coins. If any of these goes wrong, the outcry would be far more extreme then the name change issue. Let them get it right rather then force it out and screw something up...
  10. What you see as trivial, I see as a complete overhaul of the framework of the engine. Also a high potential for something to break in a significant way (loss of character data maybe?). Doesn't really sound like something that should be rushed into a release to save a few thousand un-creative users from leaving.
  11. The engine itself has a major problem with name plates. Sadly, the better the computer, the more it attempts to render these and chokes the processor. Also, I believe this game only runs as a 32-bit engine so it never really uses the full potential (or even close to that) of the processor. Server lag is server lag, not much will change there. UI changes also has the same problem of being a 32-bit engine and causing slight delays. Usually noticeable if you spam either your inventory or guild window many times. If your sitting in an isolated area and still getting frame rate and delay problems then there might be something more to this that I am not aware of.
  12. People come to the forums to complain, seeing two cases is hardly surprising... Anyways, I had many characters and have never stopped my subscription and from what I saw during all the server merges, the characters I played the most retained there names. Those I played the least lost there names to players (that I would imagine) put more game time into there characters. If this is not a "fair" way of deciding who gets what name then you are just desperate for obtaining solely what you want out of life.
  13. I highly doubt anyone who quits over the lose of a name (especially when the loss of the name was the cost of improving general populations across the active servers, the #1 complaint at the time) left solely based on the name change. More then likely they left because they didn't enjoy the game in itself as well. It's not a matter of "we don't need those people" but a matter of "we don't need people who don't care for this game". Complaining about name change (that was the by-product of improving the game) is not something I would consider "helpful" towards making this game better.
  14. If it's a rank 2 speeder, then it does give a bit more protection (2 hits instead of 1). It's hardly noticeable in the long run since higher level mobs will still knock you off quickly. If it's rank 3 speeder, you will notice a difference, but 3 mobs attacking you at the same time can still knock you off. If it's the armored tank vehicle from the Nightmare EC operation, then I have no idea if it's actually improved or not but I'm hoping it to be a god send for never getting knocked off.
  15. Stay tuned for armored vehicle speeders being added to the cartel shop!
  16. I just love how the map layout was very similar to what ships were like in the original Kotor games!
  17. There is also the third option of leveling the character to 50 and just doing the quest chain again.
  18. lol, they are capped at 200k/350k credits for F2P/Preffered status. Who ever put that up is midly idiotic...
  19. -Bashes fanboys -Praises a failed MMO (galaxies) ....what?
  20. You line between "game features" and "content/conveniences" is incredibly unclear and most likely highly debatable.
