Heya Darth, I understand the life of being a squid. Well in the armed services, I was in the 82nd Abn for several years. In the end its about priorities. The value of the game would be lessened for some by making it more convienient for others. I was in your situation with SWGEmu when I served. Its the main reason I started playing Eve Online actually(offline training). Regardless of that, we choose to lead the lives we lead. You choose to better yourself and others at this time while others choose to grind away all day. I've managed to find that happy balance of gamining and life since I've been out of the service. You will find it too one day. If not switch to a game thats pay to play or find a high xp rate server for swgemu.
