Though I can totally understand people's frustration at getting old stuff rehashed when they were around for the old stuff.

The free speeder is at the lowest level of speed. Once you reach the appropriate level and spend the money to train you can then buy a new speeder that'll go faster.

Blizz or get the **** out

You either didn't play LotRO at launch or you have a short memory.

I just have to say I will love you eternally for having actually said moot point not the all too common 'mute point' that makes me want to kill people in their sleep. And I agree, it would be nice if there Huttball teams were more mixed up.

Principle, not principal. They may be homophones, but they're not the same word. If you're going to argue about the definition of a word at least use the right word.

Totally agree with this. It was a poor decision and very poorly phrased, talk about adding insult to injury. Just because someone does not have a level 50 character should not mean they are considered a lesser being than the exalted level 50s. I have 2 level 50s, before anyone says it. For damage limitation, BW should promise a repeat of this offer will be applied in future patches and will apply only to those who have not previously had a free 30 days. So in patch 1.3 people who get to 50 between now and then, and meet all other criteria, would receive 30 free days but people such as myself who got it this time around would not.

Evidently I was not clear enough in my meaning, allow me to clarify. I am proposing this as an alternative option to paying with credits, not a replacement. So, let's say we set an equivalence of 1 Legacy Point = 50,000 credits. If you wish to purchase the ship repair droid upgrade which costs, if I remember correctly, 1 million credits you could pay either 1 million credits OR you could pay 20 Legacy Points, or even a mix of the two to come to the appropriate value. As for shafting solo players, that certainly would not be the intent. The first three ways of earning points I mentioned are all achievable without ever joining a group. Particularly on a PvP server so is earning Valour ranks. The list I posted was intended as examples, not as an exhaustive list. I'm sure there are other solo player friendly achievements that could be put in there.

You mean 10 million per character right? No way could I settle for just 10 million across 8 characters!

Assuming you mean 2pm BST, not actually GMT, we're at GMT+1 in the UK atm. 7pm for central Europe, 8pm for eastern Europe, 9pm for the Gulf. Should I also mention that at this time of year it would be only 9pm in Western Australia?

Read the EULA, they don't guarantee a 24/7 service. If this is your first online game and you can't cope with this sort of thing then online gaming isn't gonna be for you. If it's not, then you should know the drill by now. It's just bad luck that you happened to buy it just before a major patch.

For Aussies it's between 7pm to 9pm and 11pm to 1sm. Still no biggie?

I think the big issue is the frequency of the patches but rather the fact they don't have different down times for the US, Euro and Oceanic servers. That is silly. I can live with the downtimes for Europe (though I play on a US server so that's just my tough luck), but it doesn't seem right to create a specific set of Oceanic servers and then drop them during prime time.
