Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

[Matthias]

Quick question about legacy storage. Are the legacy storage decorations "networked" across your legacy? For example, if my Jedi and my Sith set up legacy storages in their strongholds on Coruscant and Dromand Kaas respectively, could my Jedi access whatever my Sith puts into storage from Coruscant, or would my Jedi have to go to Dromund Kaas to get it? I'm mainly concerned with crafting mats.

So what I'm asking is if legacy storage is networked so that it can be accessed from anywhere by any toon, or does a toon have to go to the location where the item was deposited?

[Kiarax]

It can be anywhere.

Cancelled my sub, can't justify spending the $15 when I know damn well I won't be playing this at all between Fallout 4, the end of FFXI, and other holiday titles.

[Rulke]

S'cool dude. Join the rest of the player base and resub next year when the rest of the chapters are out.

[Zetanio]

Did the same.

[6souls]

I don't know when they did this, but the next set of chapters has been pushed from January to February 11th. Also, if you sub by January 11th, you get HK-55 as a companion again. Additionally, if you sub from just before January 11th through August 1st, you get a *bonus* chapter where you can play as HK.

Damnit. Was hoping to get to play the new ones during my January break.

[Anoat]

$90 for a bonus mission as HK55, no thanks lol

[Anoat]

So if you are like me, the new movie got you jonesing for some Star Wars action but you don't want to spend $15 to resub for what might be just a few hours before you get bored again. Do what I did and use the refer-a-friend links for 7 days of sub time. Here is my link: http://www.swtor.com/r/2D7QV5

Note that it says it is only available to new subscribers or people who haven't been subbed in 90 days or more, and that it only allows access to level 50 content--but this is bunk. I've been unsubbed since mid October, so I would be around 60 days unsubbed, and it let me in to play. Also my level 60s are able to do whatever they want. Might be old data on the website.

Double XP mode is happening right now until Jan 1st, as well as the Life Day holiday event, and the 4th Anniversary Event is also happening now until Jan 4th. Click the link. Do it.

[Rulke]

Thanks for the tip but I don't know if i'll come back to this game. Like many people I really feel the single storyline movement of this game has streamlined the different classes too much. I'll wait until then last chapter is out and decide.

So I'm thinking of jumping back into the game (at least for one month) to play through the story and maybe do some end-game if I like how the game feels. For those of you who still play, Is there a specific faction / server that is more populated at end-game?

[Rulke]

Harbinger was the most populated west coast server by far. As for faction, I think "more" people were on Empire but I imagine that by now people have plenty of characters on both sides. Play whichever. Also, 1 month is probably all the time you will need, two tops.

[Guyverarmor]

I subbed one month...got everything done literally. That was catch up on my 3 characters and starting a brand new one. Pretty sad

I think most of BG plays/played on Shadowlands. Imperial side is very active, Republic side is not as active but still has a good playerbase if you want to roll on that side. I know Harbinger is also a very popular server, as is Ebon Hawk. If you want to give it a shot for seven days of sub time to see how you like it, use the referral link in my sig and I will love you long time. (We'll both get goodies if you do.)

Thanks for all your input, I used the link and setup the referral. Not sure if it's going to work as I've had an account since Beta / Launch, but we'll see!

[Guyverarmor]

It should work. I have used my friend's ref. code twice.

Thanks bro!

[6souls]

It's too bad the referral doesn't add the person to your friend list.
