The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
You can also buy account character slot unlocks off the GTN fairly cheap, or at least you could. I have 9 slots on my account from doing that a while ago, they were like 100k a pop at the time.
I know, I usually start over to remember how to play a game then resume my main toon
But I guess the main draw is the story mode in this game so I will try the republic out

Is there still a gaf empire guild on jedi covenant?
Yes, but no one plays.
Is anyone able to log on to GAF empire and invite my dudes for the Guild XP bonus?

Thanks.
I probably haven't played in a year and a half. Any sites I can read that will get me up-to-speed?

Here's a list of things that were added since you last played:

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
How long has it been since you played? They've streamlined travel a lot. You still need to go through the space station once you arrive since many of the planet quests start there but when leaving the planet you can go directly your ship. Plus you have fast travel to the fleet which you can get without a cool down and you can always port to your stronghold from anywhere and then to your ship or the fleet from there.
That's Hero Engine for ya! Usually turning down or off shadows helps the most.
This was really the one fatal mistake for the game. EA went cheap on choosing an engine
I love almost everything else about SWTOR, but man the Hero Engine pisses me off
Unfortunately, that's the one thing that's impossible for them to change no matter how much money they spend now
Quit when I waved at you.
I've been leaving my characters crafting, I probably didn't notice, sorry
No, you quit the arena when I waved at you on my op (Pyah).
OH. The only match I tried playing today, the game crashed. After that I just went back to crafting and have been watching the games.
So StarWarsGAF, here's a guy who hasn't touched this game since I quit in March 2012.
In big strokes, what has happened to the game since then, aside from its free-to-play portion?
- what are the improvements?
- what has been added?
- are any significant aspects worse than they were at launch?
- Is it worth a second chance?
PS. If I pick it up again, does anyone here who has story-analytical goggles on know which storyline is the most well-written because I want to play the most compelling character arc possible. I played consular last, and I quite enjoyed it but I never finished it. My friend played Knight but said it got repetitive and predictable after act 1.

This is the best place to see all the changes. The game has only gotten better IMO.
A lot of people say Agent is the best story and it does have a pretty big arc. Personally I really liked the Smuggler story just because of the humour but it's not as focused across all 3 acts. Knight is the most KotoR of all the stories and does hit some pretty big plot points.

It's pretty much not gotten worse in any ways, mostly just improvements and additions. Again as posted above earlier, list of changes to the game so far: http://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/wiki/major_changes
For best storylines, opinions vary but many seem to really like the Imperial Agent.

You playing today by any chance? If you still want an invite I'll be on most of the afternoon. Hit me up with a PM here and let me know when you'll be on. Or just respond here.
Ya I was on the entire all day sorry I never came back here. I might be on today. I will post back here or PM you.
Cool, yeah just post here when you'll be on and I'll send you an invite or get someone from the guild to do so.
Far as I know imps are still by far and away the dominant faction, at least with PVP. Probably several of the PVE guilds too, almost everyone who was anyone rerolled a while back. I haven't played at all in a month, though, so it may have begun to change..
The few WZs I did that day were a IMP shit show. It has been better since, though.
It is so lonely on IMP side. Are all you dudes on other servers now?
Bioware said they're contemplating bringing it back since it was so popular and people have been asking for it. How they bring it back though remains to be seen. Don't expect it to be free unfortunately. Unless they bring it back instead of Double XP weekends.
