Make Dark VS Light 2, please. There are tons of new players now who would love it. All we see now is just some DvL vendors remnant on Fleet, pretty sad. The event would definitely be great for the community and liven it it up.

The vendors have exactly nothing at all to do with the event. The ones selling (for credits) non-moddable class-locked lowbie gear and one model each of speeders were in the game at launch, while the ones selling (for Dark or Light tokens) moddable armour, pets, speeders, etc. all with a Dark or Light theme, were added with the release of 5.0, which was a couple of weeks after the end of the event.

 

It's more accurate to say that the only remnant of the event is Master Ranos, the companion, plus a few remnants of the armour sets and speeders that were given away for reaching tiers.

 

There's no real justification, aside from saying "that's what 'event' means for me"(0) for saying that events are *meant* to return, although I agree that a new event with a similar structure would be interesting.

 

Quite obviously it would be nonsense to release exactly the same event, since the game has evolved significantly since then (higher max level, new expansions adding more story to complete, etc.), but the basic concept was sound:

* Create new characters during the event(1) and level them up.

* Use these characters for the other parts of the event.(1)

* Run through the old stories from the beginning all the way up to the current end-point at the moment the event begins.(2)

* Run through all [sTORY] flashpoints, through all [VETERAN] flashpoints, and for the top tier, all [MASTER] flashpoints.

* Run [sTORY] operations for the top tier.

* Do some Warzone PvP for a low tier, then do some more Warzone PvP for a higher tier.

* Do the same for Galactic Starfighter.

* Do various other small oddities involving gathering and spending credits, levelling crafting skills, strongholds(3).

 

I would also suggest that it shouldn't be "Dark vs Light 2", but instead have its own theme.

 

(0) No, it's not worth debating this. It's a definition thing.

 

(1) This requirement caused some adverse comment when the event was announced, and although the limit for characters-per-server is higher now, there are sill people who are at or above that limit. There are ways around that, but it has to be borne in mind.

 

(2) This also attracted some adverse comment, in part because there were a lot of long-standing players who had already run those stories many times.

 

(3) Practicalities: for strongholds, the requirement was that we took and completed the "Intro to Strongholds" mission from the holostatues on the Fleet / the capital worlds.

Agreed, OP, I'd love to see the event happen again.
