Thank you very much for all the helpful information...I'm still learning and it's very hard alone:o

So I've only been playing for a few days and I'm level 38 and I have many questions about what I'm doing...so far it's been basic hack n slash, although I'm enjoying the story aspect. Since I haven't met any friends ingame (maybe I'm on a wrong server?) I will ask my questions here and roll with the punches. Is it possible to alter my characters appearance? Can she change her clothes mod without altering the stats on her wardrobe? If so how? Is it possible to have animal mounts, such as a dewback? I played SWG for 7 years a long long time ago and I had animal mounts as well as different sorts of vehicles. I found a speeder vendor, so yeah, I got one of those. When do I meet Doc and get him? I'm 38 and have been following the pink triangle quests...and so far, I'm yawning. I really want to like this game. Thanks for not throwing stones.
