Serious question- are we going to hit server population caps before some of us get into game? I'd hate to find out I can't even create a character on Juyo.

Yeah I'm a little concerned about my ability to play with you guys because of server cap.

Well that would be a massive peice of bullshit for them to know we have X players in our guild, know that not everyone is coming in at the same time (preorders vs people who were going to buy it after launch anyway) and have part of a guild locked out because of server caps.

This. I have faith that the cap includes everyone pre-guilded. It has to.

Also, I logged at 1230 mountain time last night. There were honestly three people in Fort Carnik. I wouldn't be too worried about server cap.

I don't remember where, but they have said they have the capacity to add both servers and to increase the caps on the servers as well, as such I'm not too concerned. But at the same time I totally see why you are concerned about that and if I were in your shoes I would have the same concern up until I successfully created my first toon on our server. I doubt it will get an answer, but I'll head over to the official forums and ask politely about your concern and see if I can win the lottery and get a pee colored answer.

You da man, Furiel. I think I agree with others that it's very unlikely to be an issue.

Also, Dood was kind enough to reserve my character name (Jimer) and my DJ character name (Cyclometh) on Juyo. So thanks for that, mate. :)

But what will it cost you to get those names back from him?

Are you positive the name reverts to the pool when he deletes the toon? If so, I'll be happy to do this for anyone.

Yup. Bulwark held onto Veela for me yesterday. We tested it in beta. When you delete, it becomes immediately available to anyone else!

Ok.

First, this. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthre ... post183596

And then, if anyone wants me to reserve a toon name, let me know via PM before 130 eastern as I can do this at lunch time.

You asked in CS, I asked in general discussion. Hopefully one of us gets an answer, but I'm not betting on it...

Also Arrican if you'd like I'll hold your name for you if someone hasn't done so already.
