Quick q. I did at least one holo, back in the day. Been playing since day one now. But I got no "free" unlocks. Is it just me?
i'm in the same position (i got to my silent prof and stoped) i have to say the devs need to give more credit to long time players.
That would be nice, but all I really need to know is that I do not qualify at all... then I can move on. Fact is, from what I understood of the original post, having done one holo (and 12 proffs after it, becuase i wanted to) I should get one unlock, but I may be misinterpreting it...

Possibly the reason many of the pre-10 unlockers haven't gotten their visit is the various amounts of traffic on the individual servers. The traffic in the village reminded me of the old days in Moenia or Anchorhead trying to complete faction quests and looting disk (ah, memories). My toon was a Group 3. I received the visit from the old man on 9/1 and was jumped by the sith outlaws late 9/2 evening.
An additional note...
When you "use" the disk you loot from the 1st attackers HAUL AZZ to the wp! After activating the wp I head out to find someone else fighting my sith. Luckily for me when I shouted "Please stop!" he withdrew and allowed me tofinish them. He was thinking he'd been jumped.
So, if you see a group of sith please don't grief and leave them be.

Gee , there sure are a hella lot of angry posts, over a 100 pages worth. not that my opinion was asked but you get it anyway.
I'm no hologrinder, been playing since the first month. Yes i would like to play a jedi;however, i have a wife and school and work. This makes me a casual gamer. i quite hologrinding back in oh i guess april, after i heard it would be a quest based system( much funner in my opinion than mastering a whole bunch of boring professions) I am a bit upset about the time it will take to get my "TURN" to go on the quests but hey thats life. i think everyone should just calm down a bit , after all it is the first week i'm pretty sure that by publish 10.7 everything will be AOK.

Orna Toeme (chilastra)
ana a bunch of others on other servers that i don't play

TH just a question:
I have unlocked pre pub9 with 31 professions and unlocked my FS slot, now i am "inner glow", got visited by old man and siths and so on, came to the village thinking i would have got 6 free branches (or 5 at least) but the guy who converts the xp doesn't talk me about free branches like i never didany holo profession...now is this a bug or not?

He didn't talk to me about free branches either. You kinda have to figure it out by trying all the options. I finally found it under 'learn new senses' or something similiar to that. Then in the box it says how many free branches you have to use. Just remember to train BEFORE learning the next branch or you be screwed. lol

Yes I did unlock post 9, I think its the last option in the menu. It's not a skill option ie. combat, senses etc. Something like What new senses can I learn about the force.

just to add to my previous post, how come I grinded 4 holo and 18 prof for a total of 22 and only get 3 unlock ? I did 2/3 of the total number of prof in this game, I should at least have 4 unlock. I REMEMBER when devs saied to STOP GRINDING and JUST play the game because PUBLISH 10 would REWARD US. However they forgot to say they had changed the number of hidden prof from 5 to 8. So at first I was 80% done, and now I m only 50% done. That sucks
Also, I need now to grind 3 branch, thats like doing 20 or more elite prof when I already grinded 22. So what ? I should do more than 40 prof to have my jedi when people unlocked with like 8 prof at first, 32 at maxand that some who grinded less than me got 4 or even 5 unlock.
And when I would finally be a padawan, I would have another grind awaiting me.
I really feel like I ve been shafted by soe, I dont want to spend another several hours doing mindlessgrinding. I thought the new way to become jedi wouldnt involve grinding, but seems I was wrong to hope that SOE would actually make a good publish.
I hope devs will change it so we remore fairly rewarded. I'm really thinking of quiting, I will miss my char, but I dont want to continue to pay soe for poor choice and to play with stupid fan boys who are master at kissing devs ass.

wow what an awsome post ,its great to see all the hologrinders bitching ,cos they spent the last year grind out profession after profession ,and are still no closer than i am to getting a jedi lol,great work guys.
personally i would love to see jedi removed from the game 100% and switch the focus to "THE GALACTIC CIVAL WAR" anyone actually remember that part of the movies?,well let me refresh your memories .well it all starts some years after the "JEDI" were "WIPED OUT" .the main focus of this game should be the cival war between the empire and the rebelion not how long you have to wait to get in to a damn village that had to be invented cos the devs couldnt control the hologrinders ,so what happens when either you reach jedi master? will you quit the game and go do something else?will the devs be pandering to the jedi again and adding quests that only the jedi can do and the rest of us fee paying mortals can go screw ourselves (cos trust me thats how it feels at the moment )
infact heres an idea ,why dont the devs get to work on a third combat,healing and craftin tier to the proffesions so the people that dont want to become jedi can actually compete ,for one we saw that jedi are vunerable in epsode 2 and hell they get wiped out in ep3 so they should have weaknesses and i would say that like knights of medieval england and the samurai of fedual japan they were found wanting when attacked with "GUNS" ,
what would be nice would be to make these third teir of proffesions also have a factional element to ,so a rebel armoursmith can make factional armour ,or use the resourses that a large body like the rebelion to make greater improvments on weapons ,bases ect ect,or a rebel medic for example could produce better enhancements,than there non factional counterparts .
then the average commando could become a rebel or empire commando ,again using improved weapons and armour to take down facilities ,the posibilities are endless ,riflemen could become a rebel sniper or imperial assasin ,you could have legendry bounty hunters ,these guys could actualy take down a jedi .
i would also like to see a timed declare option put into place ,so you dont have to goto a recruiter ,declare then travel to the place you attend to attack ,you should have the option to declare either when you want to or have a timer that runs down so you have the chance to get to were you intend to attack .
i know this thread is about jedi ,but i think the game lost its way and i blame the dev's for that ,seeing a jedi should be the rarest thing in the game ,now there are more jedi than you can shake a banthas tail at .
You don't talk about this game, do you? This game is JEDI-ZOO!
But now the devs hit the WANNABE-JEDIS like us - the BH's... 
Oh I even heared that some of the Village-Mission-Spawnes spawned unreachabe.....
Welcome at our world, we have this since the beginning of time!
Now the devs must only hit there pets - the UBER-JEDIS - with an update to NERF them...
(Like they had done now with the Merchants.)
Maybe this game will be playable then again for the rest of us players?

I'm getting kind of confused. I went to the Village last night (I was WAY too tired to start this then, I should have known better) and ended up taking a quest from someone before I found out if/how many free trees I get. Can I go back and check on this or have I made a fata error?

Please read this post. It doesn't say 'Stop grinding and play the game'. It says you may continue to grind for credit.

I have grinded 2x profs (23 I believe)
I have 9x badges (92 I believe)
The old man visited me yesterday ; He gave me some crystal
Later on someone (dev ?) asked me, if I`m searching the village
The answer. No I preferred to grind the last 9 profs (rifleman actually) before doing some quests (for an old man). May bethe reactionwould be different if ayoung lady would ask the question...
I'm fine with pub 10
- Don't hurry, be patient.
