Vass,

How about going one step further and fixing the problem once and for all? There is as much, if not more, of a problem with cross server structures as there is with these 'ghost' structures. Why not give the database a break (and also people who are not involved in these schemes) and put a 4 or 6 week inactive period on at the very least harvestors? If the owner is not on - regardless of the admin list - for a certain period then the structure is re-deeded. Some servers have people who run hundreds of harvesters and these have been in the same place for many months. This must surely be a form of griefing against other players?

So what happens when you are using a house of a person who you haven't seen online in quite some time but who granted you access to his house to store some of your stuff? Does this mean the house is destroyed and you loose all your property?

- Droid: Music Playback droid module is now usable only by Musicians

What does this mean? You have to be a musician to record music, or you have to be a musician to even replay it?
If its the later, then i fear thats one of those "nice ideas, but totally worthless"...

- Tip email messages are now from the bank, not from the player that made the tip, providing better feedback to avoid /tip scams

Thats a good thing i guess, but please do two things:

- Put the name in the Subject line, so you don't have to open every single email to see who sent you money

- As an entertainer (dancer) i realized that lately a lot of players bank-tip me in the cantina instead of cash... Until 1 or 2 patches ago, bank tips where displayed like normal tips as a system message, and i could react directly to the tip. Now I only get the flashy email symbol (which could also be a vendor message or something), I have to open emails, have to read the mails (yes i react differently to people tipping me 2 credits or 50,000...). With that new system I even have to open emails to see who tipped me. All this takes depending on lag etc up to 10 seconds sometimes, and the guy is gone already and i have to send him a tell to thank him, whats kinda stupid.

So please, please, please: Add the system messages for bank tips again. You can still sent out the email, or give us a choice to switch between them. I want to see banktips in my System Message window again and have them popup on my screen...

I also hope that they add the hardware to all live servers. I totally operate out of Dantooine and can attest to the sloooooooooooooow vendors.

Guild halls should be like city structures, they use no lots because they're required in order to maintain a guild.

Dawg Mann Master Weaponsmith::Outpost Essentials Imperial Outpost, Dantooine

will the Dantooine fix also bump up the spawn rate of creatures?

also, can someone point me in the direction of the thread that discusses the new shuttle wait times? I'm mostly interested in the NPC smugglers that will take me wherever I want to go, assuming I read corectly that this comes out next week...

You do this for test center but not for the live servers! What is wrong with you poeple. Are you intentionally trying to piss us off so we quit?
================================================================

Perhaps the procedures for adding new servers has had problems in the past and adding them causes problems. Perhaps they worked out a new set of installation procedures to add servers to a live system. Perhaps they decided to TEST these new procedures first on the TEST CENTER before hosing the live servers.

Perhaps they have a very good reason for doing it on test center before doing it on the live servers.

Perhaps they need to clarify whether this will be going to live or not. Perhaps without further clarification one must assume the worst given there terrible track record and there inability to communicate clearly with their customers. Perhaps you are guessing at their intentions just as much as I am...no?

With these fixes this publish and patches should help alot!

being a master dr and ben scammedit sucks we get so busy you cant always keep up with your bank account. i doubt that the devs will need to now but i wish they had a way to make the bank a small box in you window so you can keep a constant eye on your bank account but this will fix it i suppose

I am excited to see these changes coming for this publish
