Could this be something in the next expansion?

I hope to see a massive expansion by end of year - with collectors edition statue, New Hero Class Story Level cap raised to 70 2 new Operations, time travel and Episode VII characters Gentle Giant Statue of Sith Lord from Episode VII.

What makes you think it would be a step back? BIOWARE know what they are doing, they are learning from their past mistakes and improving the game. Look at each subsequent expansion for SWTOR? Each one has improved and expanded the game. Now, switch time periods, hell, if they said we are bringing out SWTNR (Star Wars The New Republic) and it was essentially this game, with new classes, new stories (and the EXACT same graphics engine - just set after Episode VII - I would play it!) People hate to speculate on things when they arn't announced yet, once upon a time, when all there was was SWG and a little game called Knights of the Old Republic, if people back then said "Hey, I would love a story driven, fully voiced MMO like WOW but set in the Old Republic time period", you would have been criticized for that wild wishes. And look where we are now?!

Except for Battlefront, which is being made by DICE/EA.

I am hoping that BIOWARE is working in secret on a EU time period Star Wars MMO, with the upcoming Episode VII, it is the perfect time to really capitalize on the new found hype and interest. I would say use something like either the Unreal Engine 4 or a highly modified HERO engine, have it take cues from SWG, (such as no classes, skill based and the ability to be a "force sensitive" (small % chance during character creation) and to make it REALLY difficult to be a Jedi (as I am sure the Pre-CU SWG hardcore fans would agree). Have an actual, proper space simulation (with up gradable ships) and keep what is good about what BIOWARE does best (story). If they have (hopefully) been working in secret on it during the last couple of years, (it could be due to be launched between episodes VII and VIII - so 2016 - 2017). We know they cancelled their project to put more people working on Old Republic (or was that just a misleading tidbit, those people ARE working on a star wars project....) Here's hoping, I for one, would be there day one!

Actually, in case you haven't read it , check this link out for some food for thought.

I have been following SWTOR since launch, have my 55 Jedi and still loving the game, however, I am desperate for some future content - I am hoping that even with the same engine and design philosophy as SWTOR has that we will finally get a Star Wars MMO in the same time period of the original trilogy or even Episode VII. Perhaps they could call it "Star Wars The New Republic", or SWTNR for short. Please BIOWARE make this one open world and skill based, so it will be more of a sandbox and harken back to the early Star Wars Galaxy's days. Heres Hoping.

Just because they are doing digital, doesn't mean they cant do a CE. Its what most refer to as a "Digital Deluxe Edition" and I would like to think that if they do this (offering some in game pet/fluff, ect) that all that pre-order either get a free upgrade to it or at least an option to spend more for it. Please BIOWARE respond and let us know if there will be a Digital Deluxe Edition, as I would be pre-ordering that one.

As title suggests for all members who have an active sub for when the game hits 1 year anniversary should get an achievement and perhaps a title - Just as a small thankyou for believing in the game and keep on subbing!

Please BIOWARE, We only need ONE Oceanic Server, please merge the current Oceanic Servers into one so that we can get our POP back! Make is an optional PVP server so you can have PVP/PVE/RP - this way our flagging Master Darnarla PVP server is saved! Please do this ASAP! Thankyou.

I think it would be a great time for them to announce the first major (paid) expansion to the game! This should include, but not limited to: -Level Cap Increase to 60 -2 New Classes to choose from with fully voiced story from 1 - 60 -New Playable Race! -New Armour/Weapons/Ships, ect -Player Housing -Guild Capital Ships (Guild Housing) Any other suggestions?

Same issues too Character name - Lendrick NA Server - The Swiftsure Wanting to go to Asia/Pacific Server - Master Dar'Nala Issues having is no form being displayed and the "Request Transfer" button not working. Thankyou.

I have not seen any in-game annoucments for server closure, surely there would be GM's on, ect, that could put up a notice with a sound effect in the chatbox informing us, down to the minute of when the servers are expected to go down! This is especially useful in FP's, Operations, ect, so , for example, you have been playing for 2 hours, forget exactly when the server was going to go down off the launcher/webssite and someone asks if you would like to participate in an operation, if there has been an announcment in game the servers are going offline in 15 minutes, you wont bother starting the operation. Please implememnt this.

Just saw this on their AUS website, https://www.ebgames.com.au/sale-product-1715-home-Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic Saying "Pre-order for next shipment, due 27th Jan, 2012" - which means they must have already sold out a shipment, and selling the imprted copy for $78 AUD. They are also advertising 60 day gamecards for $30 and the Razer gear, Keyboard ($348), Mouse ($188) and Headset (168). Still no official release date yet though?
