Yes you can go back and do previous planets/quests. You just will not be able to access your class story and the planetary story arcs on Makeb, Rishi and I think Illum??? But someone will correct me if I am wrong

There are also a number of crafting patterns you can buy with them that are level 50 or 55. The crew skills schematic vendor on fleet has some and also the black hole vendor. I think the black hole vendor may also have a mount but have not checked this since the change over to basic comms from classic comms in 3.0

Yup... now have heaps of the friggin jungle ferns

Hi Eric, Thanks for bearing with us and being the messenger that everyone shoots. This is good news and will allow players to consolidate their legacies as I do know a number of people from MDN rolled on the Harbinger not the Bastion. Please keep the information coming in regards to what will happen with player names, legacies, guild banks etc as this will further alleviate peoples worries. I am sorry to lose the APAC servers (and hope we can change EA/Bioware's minds) but I am less frustrated than I was with this news. I may even continue subscribing.

Only one of its type out at the moment... which is why I am so dissapointed. WoW is broke since Cata Guild Wars 2 is like bubble gum.... great for the first 30 minutes but gets stale and uninteresting the more you play Quite liked the Secret World but got frustrated with combat which was clunky to say the least I am looking forward to World of Darkness looks like something new and interesting

Unfortunately my experience of the Bastion was during our prime aussie time it wasn't much better than MDN about 60 or so on fleet and 15-20 minute waits for pvp pops. My slinger is 27 so I figure that is giving it a good go. It is also terribad for interrupting short cast times and in hutt ball there are issues with the fire and picking up the ball. I know people say that the ping is better than in WoW but it just didn't effect wow as badly. I could competently heal a 10 man heroic raid with 500ms latency. You just can't clip abilities and suchlike in this game. I am particularly sad for Dalborra that had a great server going I had a great time with them over the last 2 double exp weekends.

Well Bioware.... I guess its a discision. One that should have been made 6 months ago.... oh hang on that would mean you would have been paying for servers that no one was using! I will unsub and I am not saying this as a threat just as a fact. With the double exp weekends I decided to roll on Dalborra and started leveling and having a great time. Regular warzone pops and flashpoints met some great people. And now you tell me you will transfer alll my characters to the Bastion. This is not a server I want to be on. It will not solve the prime time server population for us it will be only slightly better meaning its still completely ****! Not to mention latency, while it is on par with WoW in this game it matters alot, particularly when it comes to pvp and cutting edge pve where a half second counts. And yes I did play on the NA servers to start with and yes I did complain about it at the time and dream of lower ping which you guys delivered... I wish you weren't taking it away. I am very disapointed. Dalborra was a rocking server and you ruined it. I would also like to say that refunding the payment for Makeb might be some goodwill though not necessarily in line with T&S. Cause you are going to need all the goodwill you can get in Aust/NZ at the moment.

Need vids up of last nights games. Must. Laugh. At. Sil.

Smuggler: You're too dumb to live

Last night was great to watch. Congrats to Core and Moist/Legit. Strike team and BOSS did an awesome job of making them work damn hard for their wins. Thanks Scorpio and Resk for the commentary you guys do a great job!

Eric. Thank you for your post. Unfortunately this no longer cuts it. We need a decision to be made or at least a time frame on a decision. 6 months is too long. At this point I don't even care if we get merged with the US servers, at least we would have a solution to the low pop on Master D. My next alt I am going to roll somewhere else I cannot face leveling with the 1 other person on the later planets. I am not paying $15 a month to play a single player game.... Just a make a decision already!

I think you'll find this kind of balancing will come in the expansion as they are reworking talents etc judging from the data mined info. Until then will will just have to live with the smash bang pvp matches.

So are you saying that you run around in your undies while you pvp???

Grats guys!

Just a suggestion ... Could you start a new thread to cover the new competition. At 27 pages this is a pain to wade through to find you post about the details for 2013. Thanks
