seeing i probably will never be able to make one of these events due to my location, what actually goes on at them? are they like any of the mirad of conventions I have heard of? are there special prizes you can win for in game?

yup a guild member of your whose toon name was Success sent me to your site and i filled it out under my normal gamer-tag of Warspawnfury

Greetings fellow empire and republic players alike. I am a 37 year old disabled U.S. Army veteran who is actively looking for a mature relaxed guild, one which when guildies are able to can and will help each other out with quests and such. Due to medical and home life reasons i am on as much as I can, i am a current subscriber and hopefully plan to stay that way....my current toon is a Miralukan lvl 12 Sith assassin currently on imperial fleet, i'm still learning the build process seeing that i never had much time before hand to play many mmo's so any and all help would be appreciated. if you are interested hit me up with an invite, or run with me on occasion and make your decision then may the force be with you, always

Nice story line. imho very well thought out and articulate

okay as for the faction part thats fine but what about the other parts? or are they as well a not well thought out idea?

okay so what does that make revan, anakin just to name a few, both went darkside and both becam sith, and both eventually got redeemed

First off, this game rocks! the development team has done a great job and I am sure is constantly hard at work trying to make the game even deeper and more enjoyable for the players. things that I believe would bring more depth to the game is having the smuggler actually be able to work both sides. Faction Falling / Redemption. aka if you are playing a republic character, ( lets say a Jedi for this one), and you go to far with Dark-side choices your toon could fall to the Sith, and vice versa if you are part of the Sith and you choos to be more light sided then your character could end up working for the republic. companions actually showing a light or dark-side alignment shift

cool ty you for a reasonable response

as it currently is in the game once you are republic or empire that's that you are it no matter what. but what ever happened to the actuality of it. smugglers and bounty hunters were known to play both sides of the field that is how they made money, Jedi could and did fall to the dark side and ended up becoming Sith, and former Sith could return to their old ways and fallen Jedi could get redeemed and return to the light. so my question is at what time do you think the developers should implement the capability to change sides either by free choice or by over accumulation of dark/light points depending on which side you are on at the time.
