I've been doing some crafting for the War Supplies: Invasion Force and put those in the bank. I also donated some credits to the cause, though not NEARLY as much as Jacian. That tipped us over the 50 million mark on the Republic side. Hopefully we'll be getting that one flagship soon. :)
As far as raids go, I'd love to do them -- never have in this game. My work schedule will change in just over a month, and I'll be working days like a normal person. So I should be able to raid during the week pretty easily. Mon-Thurs most likely after 7 pm Eastern time.
Quite interesting....when I pre-ordered the expansion there was NO MENTION of the 12x xp leveling being limited to class missions. It was just an announcement of increased leveling capability which I thought was a GREAT reason to pre-order....Oh well, hopefully the 3 or 4 class missions per planet will be enough to get a character to 55. I will just have to give it a try to find out for sure!
Yeah, it's been going really well so far if you do ALL the missions on a planet. Right now I'm skipping some of the general-world content (and will come back to it) on my Bounty Hunter and Trooper, which are the only classes I haven't maxed out yet. I'm not sure if that's a sustainable way to go; I've heard people in-game say they have to complete some other content to supplement the class missions while they're leveling.
Regardless, though, leveling is much faster even with the class missions just at 12x. It makes you much more over-leveled, which makes the fights easier.
Does anyone know if the 12x continues past the release of Shadow of Revan? Or is it just on the lead-up to the release?
EDIT: Just looked at the website regarding the 12x XP:
The event will run until midnight on December 1st, at which point XP rates for class missions will return to normal for all players.
Recently, we’ve seen some great improvements in SWTOR, including the release of Galactic Strongholds and now with the next expansion, Revan Has Returned, coming out in just a few months. Its time to change some things up in Knight and Lords of Stonewall and revitalize the guild.
Recruitment | First and foremost, we need to get more people into the guild. New member registrations has been slow for sometime, but there’s a ton of room for us to grow. TOR does have a large user base and we’re currently the only active glbta guild. We need members to start recruiting for Knights and Lords of Stonewall. To begin with, we can start by shouting out a recruitment speech in General chat as we play. To help with this, we’ve given Members the ability to invite into both guilds. Now, when you find an interested player, you don’t need to wait for an Officer to come online to invite them.
Here are a couple sample shouts:
is a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight ally guild. We're currently looking for new members to revitalize our community. Learn more about us at http://knightofstonewall.com.

There’s a few important parts of this. First of all, we bill ourselves as a GLBTA guild, not a gay-friendly guild. We’re not gay friendly, we are gay. If you’ve ever been in a gay-friendly guild, you know the difference. Our community is ran by the glbta community for the glbta community with their values at its core. Secondly, we direct them back to our website and hopefully they register. This way they show that true interest in joining a community. They’re willing to put their name, or username as it be, down as a member and that kind of commitment speaks to what kind of member they will be.
I’d like to also note that registration to our website is a requirement of membership. Though, if someone’s wanting to join right away, you can go ahead and invite them, but warn them that if they don’t register in 7 days and post their username in their Member note, they’ll be removed from the guild. Please help each new member you bring get settled as best you can; myself and the other Officers are here to assist you.
Raiding | Next, we need to give our future members and current members something to do. While it’s nice to have the Stonewall name over your head, it doesn’t mean much when you don’t feel part of the group. We need to build that by teaming together. SWTOR has some great raids in it with some awesome story lines. We can tackles these challenges as a community. I’d like to set up a weekly raiding night to get us started. Please respond below with what day of the week is best for you. It’d be awesome if someone was willing to take charge of this. As well, this will help us reach our next goal.
Guild Strongholds | As mentioned above, Strongholds were recently added to the game. They provide a fascinating new aspect of game play, plus allow guilds to build their own home among the stars and customize it as they like. At 50 Million Credits per guild, the entrance price is steep, but thanks to Jacien’s efforts we’re almost to our first unlock. He’s managed to raise 35 Million Credits through some Master of Whispers esque maneuvers, but that still leaves us 65 Million left to raise, plus an additional 75 Million each and some seriously epic crafting materials to unlock additional rooms. If someone was interested in helping set the guild on the right track for how to raise Credits quickly or how to get the mats we need, that'd be greatly appreciated!
Knights and Lords of Stonewall can be amazing, but everyone needs to pitch in. While our community is large, our involvement is low. We need those that are here to participate, lend a helping hand and take some initiative to grow our guild. We’ve got our work cut out for us, but if any community can do it, its us!

Yup, you can complete those missions at any time. I remember when I first discovered the missions on Dromund Kaas just southeast of Kaas City. I had no idea that little area was up there with 2-3ish missions. I had to go back on all my toons I had leveled past there and complete it (I hate leaving ANYTHING unfinished).
And don't forget the 12x XP boost on class missions when you preorder -- easy to level all the different toons!
Yes, thanks QiqJoe, that's right. Whether you're a subscriber or not, you still can level quickly through your character's storyline when you purchase the expansion now through December third. Really too good an opportunity to pass up if you're an alt-aholic like myself. :laugh:
Exactly. That's the reason I've preordered it. I got only one character (smuggler), however I'm a bit too far in my story-line compared to my current level (45). Stuck at Voss and had to go back to Hoth where I got only one mission to level up grrrrr

No, that's... um... I can't remember, but not this one.
I was pretty tempted by Star Citizen a while back, then I saw that to buy a ship took real world cash. LOTS of real world cash; most over $100 US. Then I was like eff that. :p
That ship in the video costs between $200 and $325 US outside of the $20 a month subscription.
Now if there were a way to acquire these or other, equally nice ships through reasonable gameplay (keyword reasonable, not 2 years or even 6 months of tedious grinding) then I'd find the game more attractive.
Is that the one where the universe is like the size of the actual universe and the odds of finding a planet with life are almost nothing but not nothing?
