Sorry. Most of the technology we have is deployed. The sandbox server will only be able to handle about 100-150 people. Also keep in mind that to get on to the sandbox, it requires another fulldownload of the game and an additional patcher too.
We will be talking about it though and once everything is tweaked, it will go to Test Center and TC2 for everyone to get involved with
TH how do you plan on filling the spots on this server. Seeing how it will be critical to the future of combat and PvP is there anyway to have servers hand select people from the server who know what combat should feel like and can give you good feedback, I know this will cause some problems with people. But for something like this I would prefer Grade A people testing this server I would not want every joe "I wana be somebody" to test this. People from test center do a great job hammering out bugs with full publishes.
But I would love to see Real PvP'ers and templioters test this combat system out. Most of you hate templioters but you have to understand that these people play the game and always find a way to be the best at what ever the system has to offer. Believe me you would rather have these people working for you, then for you to find out what loopholestheyfound on live servers. Just a suggestion for the combat sandbox to help the devolopers out the most. Rather then just have 500 random people sign up and only get a few quality ideas and suggestions.
Either way I would think these type of people would help create a great combat feel. Even for me the casual gamer.
I concur, look TH I would love the opportunity but I'm the first to say I don't have time. So I won't waste yours, as far as I am concerned this should be application based. I really want to see a SOLID combat system come out of this, the people who test dictate the quality of publish. (no offense to the TC people I am not talking about you, you guys do a great job.)

I get to pick 5 people to join me in testing out the combat balance. I am looking for people that have mastered brawler, and other melee proffesions. Should have played a brawler for a long period of time and understand the weaknesses and the strengths. If you are planning on focusing on the new jedi grind, this may not be for you, as you will be asked to log on and play with this new system with us (doh 
) Your forum participation will be taken into consideration also. If being part of helping the game get better sounds fun to you. Post of feel free to PM me. I am going to try to pick a diverse group. Some pvper's some pve'rs and some that like both.

This sounds very interesting, I love melee fighting and being able to contribute to make the classes balanced sounds very tempting.
I'm a pretty allround player that likes both PVE and PVP, and I have played melee classes since i started with this game.
I don't really have an interest in becoming a jedi so this could really be something thatI would be willing to spend time on.

Could we please get some more information on what you will be taking into consideration as you choose the five who will join you in the sandbox server? Length of time playing the game? Current template? Jedi ambitions? Previous beta tester? And how much weight each of these may have on your decision.
I'd just like to know how much of a shot I actually have, before I ask to be considered.
Thank you.

As Creb, I reachednovice swordsman several months ago, then dropped it for CH with some rifles.
But i kept hearing a voice calling me. It didn't say, "You feel more force sensitive", it said, "come on... you miss me... you miss the blood spattering your black armor, you miss your hairy wookiee knuckles turning whitebeneath your fur as you cut down beast after charging beast." I followed this voice across the galaxy until I reached my safety deposit box in the Coronet bank. As I opened it I pushed aside all the odd resources and stims that had accumulated over time,I found, wrapped safely in a cured rancor hide,the precious source of that voice. My Klein Katana, sharp as ever, glowing with anticipation nearly as much as I was! I threw off the hide cover, dashed out of the bank, leapt over the crowds outside the starport, and sprinted to the fields, where I promptly cleaveda thug inhalf with one mighty swipe. I roared with satisfaction and knew I had once again found myself... I was once again individually deadly, not reliant oncowardly blaster bolts or fuzzy pets: trusting nothing butmy own rage and my blade's ferocity.
I have not mastered the brawler profession with any one character, but Iplay a former pikewoman (karana), current tka(near tkm)/former fencer (emadon),and current master swordsman (Creb on sunrunner - sig's outdated).
I've been here since the first weeks of SWG, and this sounds like a fun and honorable opportunity to give back to my fellow players, and to make the game the best it can be! I'd love to joinyour sandbox team.

Darn, I thought the combat balance sandbox would be open participation . I'd love to test, but don't have a ton of time to devote to it, and certainly wouldn't be one of the top 5 most eligible people.
