another thing that has not been anwsered, what about the people that unlocked there jedi before patch 9 and want their second char FRS, how long do we have to wait? This is not fair, everyone should be given access on the first day based on who logged in first.

Ok, this sucks. No, I didn't make the path via hologrinding... ended up with 25 professions done... Now it's a "hurry-up-and-wait" sitiuations. Guess i shoulda never logged into TS to see how the new system is. Shoulda figured that there would be some sort of "catch". Now , the big question is. Will i have to wait another month or 2 before i get my visit or not? If soo, then tell me so I can cancel this account. I'm already getting rid of my 2 alt accounts and figured that i'd just leave this one active to see if there would be any sort of redemption on SOE's behalf.
And no, I don't expect everything to be handed to me, but, I play the game and do what i'm told in order to accomplish what is advertised. Quite frankly, i'm tired of almost reaching the goal numerous times only for another hurdle or wall to be thrown in the way. Been playing since launch, and soo far, the folks who have the time to play 10 hours a day are the ones who benifit most, and i'm sure there's a point to that, but i do recall SOE stating that even the casual players will be able to unlock... hardly...
I know that there's other people out there who have unlocked more than I, yet are still waiting also. Are any of you getting tired of the goal being pushed back out of your reach constantly?

Awoke with the 'Inner Glow', the Force was within me. I then waited for the Old Man to appear for 2 hours. Nothing. Oh well I decide to check my new Force Sensitive Powers . . . How?
I went Fishing! I decide to go fisihing and wait for the Old Man. This Old Man may like fish. Low and behold the Force was strong with me today and I caught three fish in the first five minutes.
I've been playing the game since July 2003 and never caught a thing. Latent Force Powers indeed.
I will look for the Old Man again tonight. Until then Happy Fishing.
Remember folks it's just a game, have fun!!

sadly none of you realised the fs quest is unlocked by badges (and is broken)* not by profs.
i logged in as faintly feel the force, got xar k'un badge and then i started glowing 
*how can i go from faintly feel to suddenly glow what happened to surge? - sort it out
secondly why not make random towns appear like bases that way more people can do these quests , you are limiting your users and people are left with nothing to do because they had to do all the theme parks to unlock the village in the first place.
so either implement about 10 new dungeons and another village/spawning village or a hell of alot of people are gonna leave.

The question that needs to be answered is what is the total number of professions that needed to be mastered under the old system? Its unclear but it seems that the number is 8 while the community believed it to be 5. I’m not disputing anything I just want clarification on what is the total number of mastered professions needed to unlock. If I completed only my 4 holos does that mean I have 1 or 4 professions left. Without this number it makes it hard to calculate which group we fit in.
Hope ya get better as well

WOW so for those of us who actually kept the game going by sticking with professions and not participating in a mindless hologrind this publish is next to useless until all the hologrinders are done with their phase.
Yep thats about what I expected.
Yeah man, exactly..i remember when EVERYONE was doing holocron professions...crafters wouldn't be crafting things anymore...pvp'ers would have dropped all their combat...and etc....just because we didn't want to keep grinding...we got shafted. I still did 10 professions, 3 holo's, 4th silent...but once they said new system was coming, and we'd be given Credit, we dropped it...we didn't do the mindless grind. WE are the ones that kept the game going while everyone else just grinded profs.
WE GOT SHAFTED.

So what you are saying Thunderheart is basically anyone who did not holo-grind will have to wait a long period of time upwards of weeks? So is this the Dev Team's Brilligant plan to control the Jedi Population by putting time-limits on everything? How is this fair? Trying to just put these requirments to control the jedi population? But really the only purpose it serves it to piss everyone off, which is about the only thing the Dev team can do.
I have played this game since launch and only have mastered 6 proffessions none holos, and never planned on doingthe hologrind as I did not find it to be fun and spent the whole time PvPing,high-level mobs and now we are getting punished by putting these rediculus time limits up..If the phase time limit wasnt worse enough now we have to wait for the old man to show up..Why?
So now for a non-hologrinder to achieve jedi initiate with powergrinding for xp it will take at least a year probally more...
You guys really know how to please the community..
Great job,

WHY THE HECK DID YOU POST YOUR REPLY AGAIN. Answer our questions... HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE ARE QUALIFIED? AND WHY DO I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOU'RE NOT READING ANY OF THE RESPONSES?

So, massive hologrinders first... that's fair. But are we talking "wait until Phase 2 of the village before Group 1 gets the visit", or "wait until traffic dies down, and Phase 1 of the village is still active, and Group 1 gets the visit"?
TH if i automaticly qualify - where is my Old Man?

Ok TH
The Dev's finally created a system the communtity has been waiting for. Now you dropping the ball by punishing the player who decide to play the game instead of grinding 20 to 31 profession.
Group 4 will probably not be able to see the Old Man to maybe 5 to 6 months from now. (Do you really think peeps who want to play a Jedi and didn't want to do a stupid grind are going to wait that long for enjoying the game the way they wanted too!)
Way to go Dev's , I wonder how many of your veteran player your going to have left for JTL and Combat Revamp.
You better hope JTL is good other i see this game end in less then a year. (With EQ2 and WOW coming)

I notice that there is no mention of a group that has unlocked only 1 or 2 secret professions.
Does this mean that you still need to find 1 or 2 secret professions to get a visit from the old man?
We were told that professions were being taken out of the mix after Publish 10. Is this now not the case?
