So how do we get flagged to be master bounty hunters for the testing?

I hope letting everyone on TC2 doesn't flood the server with Jedi tourists so we can't actually test the new system.

i reactivated my account to whip SOE arse but i'll end up whipping lucasarts... oh well anyways they deserve it too

I am very excited about testing on TC2! Thanks for the opportunity!!

Thanks, JustG, for clarifying the copy process. I'll do my best to play that Padawan on TC2 and help with the bug process. Though I logged in to work towards a DE to make BH droids for TC and my Nov Artisan only has 3k in credits (btw-the helper droids ROCK), with or without a saber, I'll use those force powers as much as possible! Nice to know that our existing toons on TC will be saved!

We also wanted as many Live Jedi to participate as possible. We stopped the logging and announced to the Jedi that if they will create a character on TC, they will be participating as Jedi Knights, and challenging their way up the ranks of the Councils.

To everyone that has been playing on TC, but had not logged in the last couple of weeks, our sincerest thanks, and apologies for not being able to include you. But with 55,000 registered players on Test Center it was tough to find the cutoff point! We need a few hundred... tops. We wanted very active testers for the Padawan strata and the quests to become Jedi Knight. We flagged a group of active Test Center players over a span 2 weeks. We did not give any notice because we did not want a flood of people who just wanted to check things out, and the regulars who play on TC are generally extremely helpful to us in finding and tracking bugs.

The Upper Levels will be filled out by Lucas and SOE QA... with Lucas playing the Light side and SOE playing the Dark side >:-)

We will also be drastically increasing the turnover time for voting and challenges up the ladder.

It looks like we will copy the database from TC over to TC2 early next week, when we push Publish 9 onto Test Center. At this time Test Center 2 will be a complete mirror of the existing Test Center. We will run these Jedi wars on TC2 for a couple of weeks until it is ready to go out, then wipe the entire thing.

Again, not everyone can participate with the Jedi system, and I am sure we are missing out on many many people who would be excellent help in testing and debugging this system before it goes Live. But anyone can log into TC2 when it goes up and check it out!

The new Jedi system is going to dramtically change the game for the better... and thanks so much for the help and understanding.We will be putting out more info very soon.

I can see SOE playing the Dark Side for some reason.

Please try and push this in early Monday morning cause I have the day off work to help test this more.

Thanks,
