Ahhh! That's got to be it. Yes I know that we each have at least one other channel we added before KoS.

Why aren't YOU working Tech Support at BioWare?!

Wow, Nick. I want to play that game!!!!

Me too. LOL.

Guess since it's free to play, new players can't exactly sue for false advertising, right?

Something else to keep an eye out for is that the Custom channels are, and to put it generously, buggy.

I know that both I and Zep need to /cjoin the channels repeatedly during play. According to Varel it doesn't actually log us out of the channel (e.g. a message says "Kor has left channel 'Stonewall'"), but the UI drops it from our chat windows, so we lose the ability to see it until we remember to /cjoin again.

I don't know if either of you are in more than stonewall/kos channels but I have heard this happening to people who are in 3 channels.

I don't think I've seen a story like this since the early days of Ultima Online and the Anti-PK (Player Killer) squads. Back then, "PVP" wasn't a separate option.

No MMO game has created a truly-open-world simulation like UO (fauna ecosystems, logical harvesting systems (e.g. You saw a tree, you could carve wood off of it) and originally, no limitation on stealing (you could literally rifle through other people's inventory if your skill was high enough, and steal just about anything if you're skill and stats were up to the challenge) or killing (the advent of Player-Killer guilds).

To fight the very real menace of being killed by highwaymen, Anti-PK guilds cropped up as, essentially vigilante/bounty hunters, constantly watching for unethical activities and dishing out justice for those who were unable to on their own.

It was equally frustrating and exhilarating. I still remember I was up late one night, and went to one of the inns to log out. Someone had forgotten to stay ON their horse when they logged, so here was a tamed horse just ready to give me it's loyalty since it's owner had vanished. For the price of a few apples, I had my first mount. None of this waiting 25 levels then dropping your life's savings to get one.

In every possible sense of the word, UO was a new frontier. There's a certain nostalgia and magic about those early days that probably will never again be seen in online MMOs.

Stories like yours (at least for me) seem to be very rare these days.

Kudos to you!

This might be happening with others. They joined the channel when we announced it last week, then never think to check again.

I've submitted several help desk tickets about this issue, so I'm hoping BioWare is taking note. I am absolutely stunned that I don't see many people with similar issues on the BioWare forums. Of course, it doesn't help that you can't search their forums directly.

I'd initially thought it had to do with "zoning" (any time the load window needs to come up), but have discovered it will just happen randomly. I suspect it still might be when I cross server lines within a map (something we as players aren't aware of in this modern age of MMO gaming), but have no way to prove or disprove that theory.

At any rate, if things seem unusually quiet, just double check that the KoS channel is still listed in your chat window. I hope the problem is focused on just a few of us, rather than being relatively widespread.

I just also realized with the channel changes some still aren't using KoS and may be there but not responding due to that.

To be honest there are always people on when I play but their may be a couple reasons beyond the ones given in the precious responses. The most logical reasons would be that:

1. Although we are on a West coast server our guild members are all over the globe. I am on the East coast myself and the times you are on dont sync with mine due to my work schedule.

2. A month ago when the game began it was a holiday week. A lot of our fellow guildies had off from work and school to play more.

3. School is also back in session for our college level guildmates.

My advice would be to sign on to Vent and check the forums to see who is on when you are. I want all of my fellow Knights to have a good time playing, so if you are on the Republic side I can arrange to help you when I am free on nights and weekends.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I have a Jedi Shadow and the equivalent Imperial Sith Assassin. And yeah, there are definite correlations. I seem to get to the places later on my Sith. But the planets and their missions seem to be about the same level ranking though.

For example, my Jedi did a level 29 mission on Alderaan as a level 29. Later, my Sith did a similar and undoing level 29 mission on Alderaan, but he was a level 34. (Not exact, but approximate)

That's what it seems like to me, at least. I could be completely wrong about the comparable level rankings. I need to start paying more attention. Luckily my characters are at similar levels and places in their story so I can observe this more easily.

Since hitting 50 and receiving Darth title, it is time to hit up the dailies grind. After some searching I found that owned core has provided a compilation of the current set of pve and pvp dailies for Imperials.

If you can send me the location in the forums, I'll be happy to add a link.

I get whatever peanut butter is cheapest, myself.

I bought them all (the organic / natural ones) and just go with the one I think tastes best to me.

I buy two brands of peanut butter, JIF natural for the taste and Peter Pan natural because it's a little runny and easier to mix when I'm cooking.

I might have my games mixed up then as I thought you could see when the user last logged in? Oh well it was a good idea and would make folks feel more at home in the guild instead of being out in left field.

I'm actually quite confused myself why a simple feature like that wasn't put in place. I know I personally have been thinking a lot of what to do even in the event this never gets put into place and keep hitting brick walls. As I think we can all agree on we don't eventually want a ton of guilds with most the members being inactive but no one ever knowing for sure if people are or not.

We've had alot of folks leave the guild so I'm not sure if there is really a need for two separate guilds. The officers could go thru and remove those that have not logged in 30 days I bet we could re combine the guilds and just hold on to the SoS guild as a back up if needed.

Although ideally that would make sense the current guild system does not allow for you to check when a users last time logged on was. So it would be a pure guessing game.

Very exciting stuffs!

If I did my math correctly I think you can get 200+ pts for light side even with doing the backstabber title.

If you want to grind out light side rep I can always bring an alt that is working on light side as well. Light side pts + Xal + guildie instance run = good fun times!
