[Thrax989]

Any chance of a discord chat bot that will pull live chat into the discord and vise versa ?

Live chat?

I was wondering why we can't run dual instances (2 toons on at the same time)? I think that was allowed at 14.1. I was allowed during the CU.

No, that was never part of 14.1. 2 characters online at the same time is a big issue for a game like SWG. interdependence on other players is maybe the biggest one. This is an MMO after all. End game becomes easy mode with 2 characters filled up with aliases and macros.

We want to see what the 1 character online will do to the dynamics of the server.

I’m amongst many other are extremely excited for the a new server finally!.

How do we create our new characters on this new server ensuring we keep our Basilik main toon names?
I read about the reservation of names but are trying to understand how that will work.

Thanks!

As with TC Nova, when you go to create your character and choose your galaxy and get to the character creation page. In this case you choose Fin and if the name you choose isn't reserved for another account (all done backend), you can successfully create the character. After 90d the names are released and anybody can use them.

this is true. I had a doctor alt and a jedi main, I used to log in my jedi, then log my doc and quickly buff my jedi while he was LD. sometimes i wouldnt be quick enough and have to log in again for the last buff. the only way having more than 1 character was possible, was if you had more than 1 account.

We have the LD part here too. It last 3 minutes. You can give it a doc buff, but not any thing else, or trade.

Like the changes would of liked xp increase by 2x and no penalty for grouping like during cu.
I think it makes no sense to encourage solo play in a mmo. I honestly have no idea what soe were thinking at that time.
Really liked the xp changes on deda intended server we played on awhile back. Progressed at a more enjoyably rate.
Pass from me. Enjoy the new server. Great job staff.

note those names that are all hyped. 6 months from now, be calling for another wipe.

Not sure I agree. I mean, they've stated they want to keep making changes down the line. A lot of things are fixed with just these few changes. I could only see a wipe happening unless they made a change that requires a wipe OR 1.0/1.0+

Regarding character slots please consider a time base unlock for more. I am assuming by account would be tough so wide unlocks would be easier(?), but if every 3 months you added a character slot up to 5 or w/e it would have a good balance.

What's the point? Making a remake of basilisk with everyone being self sufficient and killing the community & the economy again?
Clearly, 2 characters is more than enough. Most of us played with only 1 char back on live. At least at start, and for the first months (years for some, most of my friends back then had only one account and one toon).

Back in Live days you had the option to buy a 2nd copy of the game and pay a 2nd monthly subscription (hell, you could have as many accounts as you could afford - both financially, and time wise). Many of us were happy to do so, which served the individual only in a lot of cases, but also allowed for plenty to serve the community also with doctors, entertainers and crafters alike.

I get we don't want multi-accounters exploiting and gaining big advantages, but at the same time we need the facility for people to get buffs and resources/components to serve the community without limiting players options as much.

It's pretty much an impossible situation given that this project cannot charge subscriptions, but there won't be the same options that there were back in Live days. How will this effect the new server moving on? Only time will tell.

It's just a crying shame that the minority that exploit the current system ruin those options for the rest of us.

Not betting against you but I guess we will have to wait and see
