goringem Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Hello, I just returned to the game in order to test out the new expansion. I was pretty active from '11-'12 but have not played much since. All the servers my characters were on previously are gone and I've been shifted to a new server that appears to have a diminished population. I'm considering moving to a new server and starting from scratch, but I noticed I now have a legacy and a legacy level. I'm currently legacy level 15. My questions are: 1. Is there any way to move my legacy to another server? 2. Is legacy level 15 even worth worrying about trying to move or is it easy to regain this? Note: I really don't have much unlocked other than the legacy levels and class/race unlocks for dark side. Non-related question: 3. Any suggestions on a fun class to roll up? I am planning on switching to Jedi for a change of flavor and I'm curious what's enjoyable right now. In the past I've rolled a Sorc, Marauder and Bounty Hunter (forget which spec). Appreciate any feedback, thanks!
Breadsticks Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Perhaps I did it incorrectly, but to keep perks I had already purchased I ended up moving one of my characters to the server I planned on playing. Doing so brought my legacy level and associated unlocks with it.
Jerqa Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 If you transfer a character from your existing server to a new server your legacy will transfer with you along with any unlocks that you may have. Also as a side note : if by chance you have two legacy's, one on each server, then the highest of the two will over-write/merge into the the lower one. Either way you will not lose any progress done on a legacy. Good luck and welcome back
DocDAM Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 1. Yes, with a Character Transfer. CT's are cheap now (90 CC?) and subs get a free one I believe. Plus if you clicked someone's RAF link, you get another. Sounds like you know how to do a Character Transfer, but in case not: Log into your Account, click the Character Transfer tab. 2. I would have said "no". But you also mentioned having class/race unlocks and later mention you've played other toons (apparently through story). But what is your Legacy level? If it is above 1, yeah I'd probably transfer. Based on all of that, I change answer to YES. 3. Guess it depends on playstyle (ranged vs. melee, tank/healer/DPS, etc.). Otherwise, I'd default to story. Here's the general consensus rating (usual disclaimer: subjective, everyone has their own opinion. I'm talking survey consensus). No spoilers: JK is most iconic, and generally rated at top of Pub stories Smuggler is full of snarky quips and has a good companion set Trooper is ... trooper JC is generally rated lowest of all the stories of the game.

Based on all of that, I change answer to YES. Great information from everyone, thanks. I'm not entirely sure how the legacy system works, but underneath my Legacy name it says it's Level 15, but I have yet to unlock many of the perks associated with legacy levels due to a lack of credits. I have played through the story with three classes though. I'll just transfer it since it's such a low cost (I was thinking WoW's $25 a character). I'll give JK a try, never played it or SW.
goringem Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Edit: Thought it didn't work, but it worked once I went in game and created a Legacy on a character. Once created it had all the unlocks and levels. Edited November 1, 2015 by goringem
Jerqa Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I'm glad everything worked out and hope you are enjoying the game
