Hi When the game first came out i tried being a Healing Sage. Then for some reason life caught up and i haven't played much. Now I want to get back, but it has been a VERY long time. I want to focus on leveling and story mode for now. So my questions: 1) Is it worth leveling a healing Sage or should i shift focus to DPS until I am done leveling, then go back to healing for group play? I don't want the game play to become painfully slow, and I don't wan't to become dependent on only 1 companion. 2) If i choose to try Healing again, has the game play changed so much that i will need to re-learn everything again or should i just keep going with what i was trying before? (i think last time i played it was still 1.1) And thank you one and all for any help.

and im guessing i wont see much rp fun until i get into the 20s? Thanks for the renewed faith in republic!

So like many, i have started a few characters over a few servers to see what happens after the game takes off. Wile the server activity and wait times looked to be lopsided at first, it looks like it has now spread out over a wider range. My only question now is this, which side has more rp? I have run into more friendly folk with my republic characters, however i do like the empire story more, and everything i read online suggests the empire has more PR activity. To be fair, most my characters are around level 15, and some being healers im sure helps. any thoughts?

i like RP PVP, but in the past i always end up getting attacked to the point of no return. how are things looking so far? i dont mind getting killed, but are people sitting on re-spawn spots?
