It seems happy enough that I've now got 6 characters on Red Eclipse (thanks to the mergers) and only preferred status. And I only had to rename 2 of them :)

[snip]

[edit] or not... looks like it's 2 characters per account, not per server. Oh well, at least they're not making me delete any of my existing characters :)

It has been mentioned that they do plan on increasing the number of characters that a preferred player can have (and I believe the figure 6 was mentioned). In the same breath they said subbies would basically have more than 50 toons... always with the "You need to Sub" mantra.
 
When I create anew character does the name have to be one word, or can be two words, or would I need to use a hyphen or underscore?

Had a pain in the arse trying to find a new name last night, gave up after so many fails.

That'll depend on whether it actually has enough content to class as a real expansion. All thats known is 5 levels, 1 planet and most likely (EA/Bioware still being very cagely on giving an answer when asked) just 1 storyline per faction (i.e. not continuing the class stories directly).

It's doing fine mate. Servers are nice and busy. Lots of people about to get things done. Still a number of things I wish BW will sort out. PVP needs some work urgently but besides that, more than enough content to keep you busy.

If you a subscriber you only pay £6 quid(got until 7th Jan), not a bad deal! :)

They had been working on "extra content/expansions" since release in interviews, although as another has mentioned the details on exactly what you get is being oddly kept hush hush right now, yet want you to pre-order.
Their advertising campaign pre release was a monster, now it seems to be little no effort at all, there's a reason. People won't fall for the same rhetoric and false innovation, but still a way to be able to make money.

No, guys, listen! It's brilliant because....no, you're right, it's crap :p

Can't believe people are STILL trying to push how great it is after everything Bioware have done to kill the game.

You know it's an opinion though right, you can't really be right or wrong?

I still enjoy the game and play it loads, if you don't then fine; the game has improved lots since release also so BW are hardly killing the game.

*shrug* if you don't like it then that's cool, I can't believe people are STILL trying to slate how bad the game is despite how busy the servers are.

There will still be people that enjoy the game? I don't see the problem with that?

Of course the people here are "touchy", they are actively playing and enjoying the game.
