  1. This is a game. None of us *need* to be playing at all. I don't think BioWare would like its playerbase taking that thought to heart. I still don't understand players arguing against more slots. What if BioWare were to give us 16 slots per server tomorrow--how would that harm you? It wouldn't. It may not add any value for you either--but it would add a lot of value for some of your fellow players. If you want 16 slots per server, but you only have 8, you're out of luck. If you only want 8 slots per server, but you have 16, you're just fine. More slots per server means everyone wins. I promise, no one will show up on your doorstep with a gun to force you to roll characters you don't want just because you have available slots.
  2. Which is just dumb. Since they did announce some sort of cool something that would require you having both factions on one server, I urge BioWare to up the character slots per server to at least 16, and announce the intention to do so now.
  3. Yeah, that's the statement that has me worried. I'm hoping it's legitimate--"Hey, it never occurred to us that some people might want more than eight characters per server, but now we see that they do, so we're seriously looking into what we can do here." (Although no one at BioWare ever considering that anyone would possibly want more than eight characters per server is a little distressing.) But I'm afraid it's PR speak--"Eight per server is what we gave you and what you get. Deal. We just don't want to come out and say it for fear of angering those customers who want more than eight characters per server." So I'm asking BioWare to clarify. I'm hoping they've reconsidered and want to give us more than eight slots per server, even if it'll take, say, 6-12 months to make it happen. But if BioWare decides (or has decided) that eight per server is all we get, I want them to man up and state it clearly. I'll be disappointed, but at least I'll be happy to know I can get on with rerolling Republic on a different server from the Empire and (probably) not have to kick myself down the way when more slots per server show up.
  4. Count me in as another vote for more character slots per server. We've heard from customers who say more than eight characters per server isn't necessary. Strictly speaking, this is a game, and it isn't necessary for any of us to be here playing at all. What all the "eight per server is fine" posts I've seen are saying is "eight slots is enough for my preferred playstyle". And that's great for BioWare to get that feedback from customers. We've also heard from customers who want more than eight slots per server, with their reasons (like seeing what difference light/dark side makes on a given base class storyline, or wanting at least one character of each race). From a player perspective, I haven't seen any argument against allowing more characters per server. Some players aren't interested in any more, but I haven't seen an argument about how more characters per server is a detriment to these players. Those of us who want more characters have outlined how not having the slots is a detriment. And the Legacy system just made it worse. I'm a newer player. I have a couple Imperial characters and a couple Republic characters on a single server. I had just decided that I was going to reroll my Republic characters to another server (as I'd like the option of at least eight slots per faction) when the news about the Legacy system hit. Now we have a problem. The cooler the Legacy system is, the more pressure BioWare is putting on players to concentrate all their characters on one server. (And with cross-faction mailing coming, I'd also prefer not to need to duplicate crafting professions as I would with two servers, but not on just one server now). What I'm asking for from BioWare is this: make a decision about whether or not you'll expand characters per server, and make it very soon. Then announce it. Right now, I find I'm "in limbo" on a couple of my characters--I don't want to reroll them elsewhere yet if there's the possibility I can keep my whole "family" on one server, but I also don't want to play and invest more time in them in case I do need to give them up later. Lay me out a road map. I love this game so far, and it's killing me not playing my Jedi because I don't know whether you're taking the request for more characters per server seriously. If you're not, please, don't string us along. Make a decision and tell us what it is.
  5. Yeah, that would be helpful, huh? I'm a US player. Original post also edited to include that pertinent info.
  6. I've been playing about a month and have rolled a few characters, both Empire and Republic, on the same server. I've decided I'd like to split them, so I'm going to re-roll Republic on another server. I hear some servers are suffering from underpopulation; I'm wondering what PvE server is sporting a large, healthy Republic population these days? EDIT: I'm US. I knew I'd forget something important.
  7. So, 90 pages of comments. Has there been any statement from BioWare in there anywhere?
