i really don't think there will be a merge in APAC. i think everything will be migrated to the US. just give it time. it's also for the best. really suggest re-rolling in one of the US servers while you wait for the migration/shutdown.

once the expansion hits, you can keep enjoying pre-max level PvP by not getting the expansion. if they just extend the bracket to 1-54 + 50, then you'll be PvPing at 50 forever along with other pre-55 players. not a bad deal if you'll ask me.

i heard they're planning to make the fix available on the cartel market in the expansion Rise of the Cartel Coins

i'm ok with having to pay for an expansion. every MMO so far has required players to purchase expansions one way or the other. what i'm disappointed about is not being able to buy the expansion using Cartel Coins.

i think i just heard something swoosh by... oh, it's the amount of ****s bioware gives about bugs

that will be around 500cc somewhere down the cartel shop

lol, even on my pc with an nvidia GTX 680, SSD and 16 GB ram, this game still eats up your time with ****loads of load screens. that fanboy defense is really getting old.

yeah. i really loved the achievements for defeating faction leaders as well. forming a 40-man group then marching straight to the enemy's capital cities. too bad we can't do that in swtor.

caveat though -- there aren't a lot of "world pvp friendly" zones in swtor at the moment.

then go ahead and watch jerry springer eps while you wait. anything that works for you. i was just suggesting an option while you folks wait for BW to do something, while at the same time enjoying the game. i just thought maybe doing quests, heroics, warzones and flashpoints with players is more fun than sitting in fleet with your decked toon doing nothing. or if camping the forums hoping for some immediate response from BW also gives you entertainment, i guess this works too.

yeah, i wasn't clear about it. i think what will happen is BW will eventually close out the AP servers, while providing a way for everyone to transfer their characters from AP to US. i think that is already a given. they can't do something less than that. i was just suggesting that you folks try to enjoy the game again by rolling some "alts" on the US as you wait for the transfers.

not for companions though. still broken for companions.

or you could just re-roll on the US servers while waiting for the transfers to happen. i'm pretty sure BW is leaning towards closing down the AP servers. they might be seeing it already that the cost of maintaining the servers in AP is not being met by the amount of subs/income the region brings in.

this bug's been present since beta, lol. what does that tell you about the team behind this game.

Vanguard would definitely be the best fit. He realised that all this force bullcrap is nothing compared to rifles and blasters.
