Star Wars Galaxies was $50. per character, and that was after they told their customers they had to move their characters because they were shutting down a bunch of their servers. So $10 bucks is hardly outrageous.

If some people missed out on the free transfers because they waited too long to come back then they are out of luck. That's the price we all pay when we decide to wait.

The players that bought the GR pre-purchase didn't get the free 30 days or the Item Pack.

The players that didn't buy the GR pre-order from Gamestop didn't get the 5 enahncement perks.

And the players who didn't have their accounts active during Jan 2010, and the first week GR went live all missed out on the free transfers.

And you don't think the fact that the Mod who wrote the "no game other than this one" rule is no longer working here has anything to do with it not being enforced as rigidly as it once was.

No offense intended but please pay attention to what we have been talking about. The names that would need to be changed if the server lists are combined are not the character names.

We are talking about the account GLOBAL names. The ones that appear on Friends lists and are used to send Emails.

There are many players who share the same GLOBAL names because the NA and EU servers are completely seperate from each other. So if/when the server lists get merged half of those people will have to get a new GLOBAL name for their accounts.

As always it depends on the server you choose. Freedom and Virtue are the most heavily populated, but if you join a couple decent global channels you should have no problems finding people.

Try checking out the Mentors Project. I don't have a link for you but I'm sure one of the many members that frequent the forums will gladly post the link in this thread as soon as they see it.

If you aren't aware of it, there's been some new stuff added that requires the purchase of Going Rogue to play.

Welcome back and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Oh yeah, I like the filters thing. That would be a great tool to help people find exactly what they're looking for.

How about simply listing them alphabetically, by server, and faction. That seems to be the fairest way to me.

That's about as accurate as blaming the drop in Subs on when the devs increased the number of characters we have per server from 12 to 36. Since players could now fit more characters onto one account they let their other accounts lapse and the game is doomed because of it.

But your not going to be able to drop all your influence, enhancements, etc, etc in a global bank. The storage they'd allow us would be extremely limited just like all the other items they let us use for storage.

With the access we have to multiple accounts it would be very easy for someone that got control of an SG to invite an alt on a second, third, or fourth account then promote that alt to Super Leader. Kick everyone to steal the SG and change the name so it won't be recognised and then feign shock and outrage over getting kicked on his main account.

CS won't get involved because the Super Leader owns the SG's lock stock and barrel and can do as they please with them.


Another valid concern I could see happening.

In the last dead SG I inherited I waited almost 2 years before I touched the base salvage that was still in storage (Base salvage not Invention salvage) in case someone returned and only this past December cleared the roster of members that hadn't logged in over 700 days.

Yeah. You really have to consider the length of time people will have to wait when suggesting vet rewards.

I've had my global lists vanish a few times but I don't recall seeing a bunch of "unknown" globals.

It would be nice if they could check the list of SG's and free up the SG names that are no longer being used.

Yes I know that the names of SG's that have no members are automatically freed up. I'm talking about the ones whose entire roster has inactive members

The big secret is called shopping. Boxed copies of the game have been turning up in retailers bargain bins for years.

I think his perception is colored by bitterness over what happened with the previous account he was using.


All that time and effort gone, it's understandable that he'd be upset. I only hope he isn't account hopping to get around a ban.

Well the first time they ran the program they told us most of the names that were freed up were under level 6. Of course back then it was a lot harder to get to 50 so it's likely there are a lot more names that could be freed up all the way up to level 50.

That being said, there will still be people whining that the good names are tied up on inactive accounts because they don't want to believe the names they want are being used on active accounts.

So then how does it work? The first character they log in on becomes the account global name?

Yes, but many of my plans involve using Techbot Alpha as bait while I escape.
