Hopefully as they get feedback they will adjust the restrictions. I haven't gotten a chance to check out the update :(.

The thread is stickied so bumping doesn't have any affect. Yezar will have to post a reply for me to be able to do anything. F2P accounts can't log into our customized chat channels so that option for contact is out. I will need to know when he plans on playing and we'll probably have to use vent to coordinate our meeting. That's what we did today when another member contacted me by PM to let me know of the issue with custom chat channels. I've added new instructions to the post in the Start Here! section about how to join the SWTOR guilds but this is going to be a serious problem for potential new members or members that are going to use F2P to return. Thank you Bioware, NOT! :angry:

I can't believe Bioware did this. What is it supposed to accomplish? It certainly does nothing to enhance any social aspects of the game just makes it harder to do anything in the F2P model. I personally think they went way to far with the level of their restrictions and I think it's seriously going to come around to bite them severely. :( They keep shooting themselves in the foot to the point it has to be amputated and have moved on to other body parts.

Sadly no I can't think of anything easier other then having someone park themselves somewhere in an RP role as our recruitment officer.

Prices for purchasing Cartel Coins is outlined on the SWTOR website. The basic amount is $4.99 for 450 coins with other options for buying more and the option to purchase 5500 coins at the same is being touted as the best value.

When I logged in, there was a warning that the link to purchase more coins through the Cartel Store was taking people to the wrong website and the link above is where they actually want you to go to purchase coins. This, unfortunately isn't the only problem being experienced so far which is making F2P not such a wonderful thing at the moment. They game is going down for 2 hours tomorrow with a patch to follow so hopefully, they are going to fix what they've broken. I'm not holding my breath.... :whistle:

Our first F2P member joined Lords of Stonewall today. I discovered through him that F2P accounts are unable to log into custom chat channels such as our KOS and LOS chat channels, nor are they able to use the "/who" feature to find someone online in either guild. This is EXTREMELY unfortunate because those chat channels are how potential new members are currently able to contact guild members and ask for invites to the guilds. Our new member was already registered on the website so contacted me by PM to let me know of the issue. For now, we will have to continue with having potential members contact me via PM for invites and I will add this to the instructions in the Start Here! forum instructions but if anyone can think of a better method to accomplish this so it is easier for potential members to access that would be WONDERFUL! :)

So how do you trade gear/money between factions?

Bump for the f2p'ers, i know Yezar needs at least 1.

I'm so frakking excited! I just invited two of my friends to the free trial this weekend too. :)

How do you have 8 max level crafting skills? do you have four lvl 80's? or can you train a skill to max, switch to a new skill and then lvl that to max, keeping your prior progress intact if you switch back?

Only 8 max-level crafters? Slacker! :silly:
