I do not care if we do Empire or Republic.
If we decide to do different classes (aka, some jedi, some smugglers, etc), then we should figure that out now so we can level our characters to the point where we can actually start working together.
However, if we all do similar classes, we can start at lvl 1 together
I typically can get on between 1pm-4pm EST, as well as 9pm-2am EST.
