I would recommend something longer than just a day, perhaps 2-3 days or a week, but yes. (Oh, and the current lockout is 30 days, not 28.)

Both parts of this name show up as family names in France(1), and there's plenty of precedent for people using what otherwise looks like a family name as a given name. (1) "Sisto" is the family name of one of my colleagues.(2) (2) I live and work in France...

Thana Vesh - Galactic Season Companion
SteveTheCynic replied to resevillefl's topic in Suggestion Box
Fair point, although by this point in the game's history, I wouldn't call either of them *new*. Ranos was first available almost eight years ago when the game was less than five years old (measured against the official release date). -

If I'm reading this right, you want the first instance of the decoration to be ***free*** ??? -

Uppercase Letters In Character Names In Chat?
SteveTheCynic replied to coreymj's topic in General Discussion
That never worked, even before they changed the rules to allow a space. What people are most of all complaining about is how "John Doe" is shown as "John doe" in the chat window. (Frequently stated in ways that imply (a) that it's everywhere(1) and (b) that it's impossible to play while the bug exists(2).) But automatically selecting the post-hyphen capitalisation, whichever way it's done, is going to be wrong for some characters. My own "Be-bop'alula"(3) should *not* automatically become "Be-Bop'alula". (1) It's *only* in the chat window. (2) I'm exaggerating here, but only slightly. (3) Don't create characters while you have a brain-worm song in your head. -
What would you like to see in 8.0?
SteveTheCynic replied to SentinalMasterWW's topic in Suggestion Box
Do you mean an actual *purge* (unconditionally removing names from characters that meet some combination of criteria), or just "unlock the names of those characters so they can be taken by others, but if the player logs in again first, relock the name onto the character"? -
Returning Player - how to transition into doing Ops and Uprising
SteveTheCynic replied to Tigrin's topic in New Player Help
The old advice was to avoid PuGs for VM and MM Ops, because PuGs are reliably unreliable for quality of play. See e.g. https://forums.swtor.com/topic/558251-the-weird-people-you-meet-in-group-finder/ for more than 400 pages of posts on the subject of PuGs being bad. -
A new download of the installer sets up the full mode ("SSN") rather than the streaming mode, and has done since before Covid was a thing. There's only one EU/English server, Darth Malgus. I don't play there, so I can't advise you on how busy it is.

Romance gift for those that choose to skip content.
SteveTheCynic replied to GregoriusV's topic in Suggestion Box
Unfortunately, that's not what the studio believes. (They said so explicitly one time.) I suspect that @Rohndogg meant "do the chapters unlock so [[you can play them all individually]]" rather than "[[do the chapters unlock individually]] so you can play them". That is, the "individually" referred to the ability to play each one by itself after unlocking them all by skipping. And the answer to the question is yes, once you skip them, the whole lot is unlocked for individual replay, just the same as if you play through them manually. -

Given the general reputation of technical (and other) work done on Friday afternoons, I'd prefer that they schedule it for a different day, e.g. Tuesday.
