I have never wanted to see other Correspondents eaten as much as I have this past week. You may very well earn the MCH of the year award for this one. Next thing you know the Jedi Correspondent will believe he should post here too.

There will be no hot pants (yes, I'm spelling it that way on purpose). They have been abolished by the power of the Pharple.

CH Exp - Started SWG in January, took up artisan, shudder, went out hunting for hides and fell in love with the creatures and never came back, switched to CH/BE instead and havent changed since, although Im currently switching the BE to my alt so H can do rifles instead. If I want to try something else I go to another server. Also MCH on TC2 as I wanted to test how CH worked with the force quests. And a very bad novice CH on Bria.
Bugs - my favourite bug I found was the bed bug in Sims Online actually, block the beds a certain way and you ended up sleeping in mid air next to the bed. Well ok it looked funnier than it reads lol. Although the laptop sticking to the hand bug was fun too.
Favourte SWG pet - Mantigrues, Screecher preferably but any of them. The most lovely sight I have ever seen in the game was seeing my Hermes going after a creature and soaring over a mountain in Endor against a brilliant blue sky.

I have been a mch since before the mounts and such were introduced. Been a ch for awhile before that. Dropped artisan i had at the time to pick up a more powerful combat proffession Tkm. Use my pets sparingly right now but still take them out to fight mid level, low level, and some high level with poisin and disease pets. Those diseases and poisins help against high resist pets.
Favorite bug is in Halo you shoot several rockets in succession and they have a habit of shooting off to the side. Especially when i try shooting somebody
. They dont do this very often but it is a pain in the butt when it happens at close range.
My favorite swg pet has got to be the woolamanders I mean really they have their own temple. They are also a small pet that has a decent amount of power in the wild. They can only be bio enginered so that makes them obscure because most people think them not bio enginerable because its not tamable..

Yeah, what's with all the correspondents coming here? Maybe it's like in other forums too, oh well, no biggie, I am sure he/she was being friendly.
PS. Heya, P9M, I didn't get that tip you sent...

Brief description of your experience with Creature Handling to date.
Master CH for over a year now. Have tamed just about everything short of several of the rare creatures (hmmmm note to self "self - go tame some rare creatures"). Cannot imagine playing the game without my pets. Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, The-Tank, Packmule, BeastofBurden, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Mephisto, Little Guy. I'd be lost without em.
Brief description of the most interesting bug you have ever found in a video game (doesn't have to be SWG).
Calling a pet at the mission terminal in player city of Thune and then when calling the second pet out the first disappears even though in the datapad it says it is still out. This still happens sometimes today BTW
Your favorite SWG pet and why it is your favorite.
Probably my 3 Bolle Bols that were made for me by my good friend in game Kal. I hunt quite a bit with "The Philosophers" Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates

Handle: BerentD
Experience: I've been in SWG since day 2. I found creature handler in mid-July of last year, never having the chance at 3 rancors or some of the extincts, but still enjoying it nonetheless. I took a couple of months to level, taming and training mostly,joining my current guild in mid-September last year after my first one went underand becoming a MCH shortly thereafter. I was (and still am) known for running psychotically headlong into battle with my pets, which is why I went with Swordsman to compliment it. I'll take a cloning before I let my pets get incapped whenever possible. I had two graul maulers back in the day (pre-Great December Nerf '03), Ra and Osiris, who used to tank for my whole guild in heavy battles with kimos, krayts, FS NPCs, etc. I use the Egyptian pantheon of gods and goddesses to name all my pets, chosing it over the Norse pantheon because I saw too many "Thor"s running around at the time I tried to find a common theme. While people have come and gone in my profession within my guild, I will continue to keep it for the both the fun and coolness factors. My prowling gurreck (Min)and wasteland cu pa (Horus) were present at my wedding recently even. 
Bug: The multi-incap bug where a pet would get incapped, get right back up, and get incapped again - talking heavy vitality hits. Hated that one, I was scared to send my GSP into battle for a while to protect her...
Favorite pet: My favorite BE pet is my red razor cat, Isis, made from purefrenzied graul DNA - quite the tank and fast as anything in the game. I'm partial to the cats (GSP, GW, GPS - though I don't have one yet), but my favorite wild tame right now is probably my arachne widow, Amaunet. Icall herand people tendtake notice. Scared the heck out of the little woman when she followed me into the house recently...

Decision will be "soon" (if not this week,definitely by early next week). I want to make sure the thread is up long enough to catch everyone who might be interested.
I'm afraid I have no idea on when the sandbox goes up. That's something I'm very curious about myself.

pre-GRATS to the 5.
The questions I have are:
Will there be a Character Copy feature?
Will we have to work up from ground zero?
Will there be any system to change what you are instantly to try out new features? IE. A change is made in Pistoleer so I can drop what rifles I have to test new Pistoleer features through some magical trainer.
And do system requirements weigh in for the sandbox?

I realize there is no way I will ever be choosen for this. Probably because of some of my controversial posts. I have been a creature handler since aug 2003 and have been both a harsh critic and a big supporter of SOE. I think SWG is one of the finest games of all time but SOE really screwed up CH. With that said I will put my application in anyway.
Ecco Ton is my handle I am founder of PvE guild and mayor of polygon valley. I have been a creature handler since I started this game. So my experience to date is I have experienced all the CH changes and the game!
Bugs, I have found many but one I found and brought to the attention of developers was in sims online a money exploit while painting that allowed you to get max credit without the skill level needed. EA did remove it promptly from game.
My favorite pet is my Rhoa Kwi Packleader. I have most rare pets and a few extincts. My Rhoa Kwi has an effective knockdown attack which is the only thing that is useful in pvp as a MCH.
The reasons I would like to help with this. As an artist who works out of my own studio I have the time to play a lot and anytime I choose. I also want to be involed in the GCW and pvp effectively as a CH. Most of all I want my generation to be represented more in gaming. I am a 44 year old hard core gamer and have been gaming since 1972 with the Magnovox Odessy 2000 the first home video game system. I have these hooked up and working systems. turbo grafix16,Saturn. Neo-Geo, Game Cube, N64, PS2, Xbox w/live, Dreamcast, an arcade Tron machine, AtariLynx, and 3 networked computers.I am a dedicated SWG player who wants to make this the greatest MMO of all time.
