Star Wars: The Old Republic
As of today, Star Wars: The Old Republic topics can be posted on our Star Wars forums. TPJ was gracious enough to allow us to use these forums as generic Star Wars forums so we can discuss anything Star Wars here. Know of good podcasts? Post 'em! Know of good websites? Let's discuss!
We'd like input from the membership at large about what categories would be needed to help our members best.
Start posting!

You will be notified that your character qualifies for the free character transfer service opportunity when you login. Eligible characters may also enter "/freects" to begin the transfer process. Only one character may be transferred at a time. Please read and respond carefully to each question and answer entry you type. All Character Transfers are considered final and cannot be reversed.
Free Character Transfer Service terms and limitations: Please be aware that Vendors and contents of Vendors will not transfer.

Please note that any items that are connected to your in-game structures must be packed up with the structure(s) or they will not be transferred.
Character names are not guaranteed on galaxy-to-galaxy transfers. If the character's name has already been used on the Galaxy you wish to move to, you will be able to enter a new name in the field provided (subject to the terms and conditions of the Character Naming Policy).
Character transfers from one account to another are not part of the Free Character Transfer Service.
If you attempt to transfer characters in violation of these guidelines, restrictions, the Terms of Use for Star Wars Galaxies, the Software License and Limited Warranty agreement or the Rules and Policies (for instance, attempting to transfer characters from another person's account or to or from an account purchased by or for you for another person on which you are not the original registered user of that account), the characters will not be moved, your request will not be processed or approved, and your account(s) will be subject to review and appropriate disciplinary action taken.
Any characters that are not transferred before the October 15, 2009 server closure date will be removed from your character list.
Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts do not ensure continuous or error-free access, use or availability of any game content, feature, game-play or server and may change, modify, disable, suspend or remove any such content, feature, game-play or server at their sole discretion.
STAR WARS GALAXIES™ SERVER CLOSURE F.A.Q.
Which servers will be closing?
The following 12 servers will be closing on Thursday, October 15 2009:
- Corbantis
- Europe-Infinity
- Intrepid
- Kauri
- Kettemoor
- Lowca
- Naritus
- Scylla
- Tarquinas
- Tempest
- Valcyn
- Wanderhome
When will these 12 servers be closed?
These servers will be closing on Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 4:40 PM Pacific Time.
Why are you closing these 12 Star Wars Galaxies Servers?
The Free Character Transfer Service launched earlier this year with the intention of allowing players to transfer to servers with more active communities, creating a more vibrant and memorable Star Wars Galaxies gaming experience. The Free Character Transfer Service was a phenomenal success, leaving the less active servers in an undesirable position. In order to help streamline the current and new user experience, we have made the decision to close the less active servers and focus on the thriving Star Wars Galaxies servers.
Can I move my characters off of these servers?
Yes, you can move any character from the 12 identified servers up until Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 4:59 PM PT. Please see http://starwarsgalax...ny.com/freects/ for terms and conditions.
Will I be charged to move my characters from these servers?
No. If you take advantage of the Free Character Transfer Service before Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 5:00 PM PT, you will not be charged to transfer your characters to one of the 13 destination servers including:
- Ahazi
- Bloodfin
- Bria
- Chilastra
- Eclipse
- Europe-Chimaera
- Europe-FarStar
- Flurry
- Gorath
- Radiant
- Shadowfire
- Starsider
- Sunrunner
Where can I find out more information on the Free Character Transfer Service?
http://starwarsgalax...ny.com/freects/
What if my account is inactive/closed but I want to move my characters off of these servers?
You must reactivate your account by visiting the www.station.sony.com and entering a valid credit card or Game Time card. Once your account is active, paid, and in good standing you will be able to transfer your character using the Free Character Transfer Service through October 15, 2009.
What happens if I am not able to transfer my characters from these servers before October 15th 2009, can I move my characters after October 15th 2009?
Beginning October 16th, 2009 at 12:01 AM PT you will be able to contact Customer Support and for the standard Character Transfer fee of $50.00 you will be able to schedule a transfer for your character, eligible structures and inventory.
Please be aware that the Character Transfer Service from closed servers does not guarantee that all inventory items will be transferred. Due to the unique nature of moving a character from a closed server, the Character Transfer Service may take additional time to process.
For more information on the Character Transfer Service visit: https://store.statio...ertransfers.jsp
What if I don’t want to change servers?
Unfortunately, if you’re on a server that’s slated to be closed you will have to make the move in order to continue playing Star Wars Galaxies.
I like playing the game by myself and don’t care how many players are on my particular server at a given time. Can you just leave me be and let me keep playing?
Sorry, but in an effort to improve the gameplay experience for everyone, all characters on the identified servers must be moved. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the Free Character Transfer Service before October 15, 2009 so that you can move your character at no charge.
Does this mean you’re shutting down Galaxies?
No, not at all. We have lots of new content and updates planned for Galaxies and remain committed to making the game an enjoyable and engrossing experience. The server closure is an effort to improve the gameplay experience for all of our players.

Changes, House Cleaning and new Features
Today I went through the forums and cleaned things up and added some new stuff to make the boards more friendly. Here are the changes;
- Disbanded our officer group for the forums. As of this time it doesn't serve much function. All the former officers have been moved back to ABM. Since SOE changed the IG rules on city functions all the officers duties are better off handled IG. Those ABM's that were Officers will remain our cities miltia as long as they are active.
- Removed / moved old forums and stickied that were out of date, or no longer getting use. I also renamed several forums to make them more relevant to the game.
- Added sub forums redirects to most of the Profession forums and some others where I thought it was relevant. This should make it easier for people to find info at their finger tips instead of searching the SOE forums or for links on these forums to the info.
Enjoy!

The Housing Purge is Coming!
Hello friends new and old!
Now that the CTS is in full swing SOE is looking to cap off the event with a housing purge on March 3rd. Unlike last time Basinia is not immune from the threat of losing our Metropolis status. On top of that Basinia is going to lose many of the original houses that were placed over 4 years ago. While it is sad to lose so many historic structures Basinia will be better for it. For a long time those houses have stood empty as reminders to us that still play SW:G of all our friends that are now gone. Now they will open up area for Basiners that haven't had a place in Basinia and maybe to some new folks that are looking for a home on their new server.
If you are currently playing SW:G and want to learn how to help save Basia's metropolis status check the discussion here. So far it looks like we have enough folks to keep Basinia a galaxy class city of Chilastra. And with all the new real estate Basinia's future could be brighter than ever!
