Took a Peek

Before heading to work, I kicked off the patch for SWTOR, hoping that, in spite of my slow download speed, it would manage to succeed without mishap.

When I got home from everything I had to be at Thursday night, I checked to be sure it had succeeded.  Hopefully, I told myself, SWTOR will be all updated, and I will be able to take a peek at what is waiting . . .

I made it as far as the character screen.

It wasn't because of any game malfunction, in point of fact.  It was because, as I logged on, I encountered a scary message about the difference between Preferred status and Subscriber status, and I found myself unable to force myself to proceed without doing some research.

Would I have to select my characters on the first login?  Would I be limited to two characters total, or two characters per server?  What other things would I have to decide right this minute?

After some serious digging, I finally found that I would be able to access all my characters for now, but would have to select two later on.  With that, I felt comfortable enough to click past the scary message.

And, after some more looking, it seems it will actually be two characters per server.  (At least, on my screen, it gives the numbers of my characters as X/2 for each server, so this seems to be the case.)  As one of my servers has had 15 characters crammed onto it and the other has 9, this could be interesting . . . (Remember, most of those are my daughters' . . .)

(I'm going to have some very unhappy daughters . . . unless we can make them their own F2P accounts . . .)

By the time I'd searched out some answers to my questions (what? no side bars??) and taken a glance at the character screen, it was bedtime.

I'll deal with the more difficult decisions tomorrow.

. . . I wonder if I'll have a Legacy on the server where my daughter and I never could agree on a Legacy name and so put off the decision . . . No biggie.
