JovethGonzalez Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone! In an effort to help out new players who are just discovering the game via our SWTOR Friends Trial Program, we’d like to ask for any of you experienced SWTOR players to please post your server and character information if you’d like to act as a helpful guide to our new players. Feel free to add any other relevant info you’d like to share about yourself in your post. These new players may choose to start a new character on your server and /whisper you for advice. Volunteers must be patient and be willing to take the time to help these folks out. Of course, this is also useful for any new player to make friends as well, not just Trial Program players. Thanks in advance! Edit: As many of you have pointed out, this only applies to SWTOR Friends Trial Program players, since the weekend pass players will have additional restrictions. I've edited my post to reflect this. Edited March 14, 2012 by JovethGonzalez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaell Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thats a really neat idea I can be found on The Red Eclipse (Republic side) on the character Gundrik and most certainly want to help out new folks! Could be called a veteran if thats even possible with SWTOR yet but played beta for 6 months and am now nearing legacy level 37 so you might say Im quite experienced. Gimme a tell and I'll see what information I can provide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers must be patient and be willing to take the time to help these folks out. Thanks in advance! I'm confused, I thought the limitation was that the trial accounts cannot: Use General Chat. [only say] Can only reply to whispers. Cannot use the mail system. Cannot trade. Cannot go anywhere except first two planets, Warzones, and the fleet. So, how are these strangers supposed to get our attention? Edited March 14, 2012 by KyoMamoru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razuko Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I'm confused, I thought the limitation was that the trial accounts cannot: Use General Chat. [only say] Can only reply to whispers. Cannot use the mail system. Cannot trade. Cannot go anywhere except first two planets, Warzones, and the fleet. So, how are these strangers supposed to get our attention? Ya This needs to be like the refer a friend restrictions... I'm sure it would frustrate real trial players however I can also see reasoning for it to prevent gold spammers. A Friends Trial character will not be able to use general chat, trade chat, or PvP chat. The character will only be able to use local chat, group chat, guild chat, whisper and responses to whispers. http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#q400150 Edited March 14, 2012 by Razuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HistoryGods Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I'm confused, I thought the limitation was that the trial accounts cannot: Use General Chat. [only say] Can only reply to whispers. Cannot use the mail system. Cannot trade. Cannot go anywhere except first two planets, Warzones, and the fleet. So, how are these strangers supposed to get our attention? KyoMamoru makes a good point. Here is what the FAQ says: "A Weekend Pass Free Trial character will not be able to use general chat, trade chat, or PvP chat. The character will only be able to use local chat, group chat, guild chat, and reply to whispers." This "help a newbie" is a great idea - but do the restrictions placed on the accounts make the process cumbersome, if not impossible? When it comes to the Friend Pass, one would be inclined to believe that /whisper will work since you are supposed to be playing with your friends who invited you.

KyoMamoru Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Not exactly... A Friends Trial character will not be able to use general chat, trade chat, or PvP chat. The character will only be able to use local chat, group chat, guild chat, whisper and responses to whispers. http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#q400150 So knowing the actual limitations, using mentors like this makes sense. That's for Refer a friend, not for the weekend pass. A Weekend Pass Free Trial character will not be able to use general chat, trade chat, or PvP chat. The character will only be able to use local chat, group chat, guild chat, and reply to whispers. I feel that this attempt though noble, will frustrate new players if you're giving them names but no ability to contact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that this attempt though noble, will frustrate new players if you're giving them names but no ability to contact them. Hmm, now that doesn't make sense... Why have different restrictions for weekend vs friend. That could be frustrating for new trial players, But I'd bet it has more to do with preventing gold spammers than anything. Good lookin out.
