The only way they will delay JTL is if they really thought they could convince us to keep paying til january.

So what I understand after reading most of the 40 page'ish thread is that if I only did a few professions and did not unlock, I need to fullfill the "new path" requirements (currently unknown - but definately not profession grinding) before I'll be visited by the Old Man and admitted to the village AFTER traffic dies down...whew! Ok, that does make it more fun and interesting...but will there be "clues" to what the new path is? I mean the holocrons gave the grinders the "instant-answer" they were looking for. Do the non power gamers need to play the whole game, every POI, every dungeon, every city, every nook and cranny before we guess right and start to "glow"?
If I sample radioactives I glow...but thats not the same type of glowing though is it? =(

All existing jedi have access to the village - thats about 100 people per server on average, maybe a good deal more, many won't bother with the quests imediatly but they will go there eventualy and do some quests.
With perhapse another 500 people per server who qualify for village access imediatly having them all in the village four hours after server up would be insane, the village has a great atmosphere and 60 or 70 is going to smash imersion, people dueling and whining and advertising buffs and /shouting dumb questions. It was a problem on TC but you knew it was a Test Server so you put up with it, on live I'd like the experience to be good, even if it takes a few days longer to get there. Its not like this is the end of the journey, its only the beggining, thousands of hours of jedi exp await after you start.
The flow to the village has to be controled, this valve is very wise and it beneifts the 9 - 10 'unlockers' and the hologrinders.

Anybody else think the level of interaction with the devs here needs to improve dramatically?
A lot of stress could be avoided if you plainly spell out what's needed and what isn't. You may think it to be spoon feeding us, but when you make a complicated method to work out who Santa visits and who he doesn't, then put a vague explanation on top you should expect these things.

To be clear:
Lets say Player A has completed 32 professions before publish 10.
Player B has met all the requirements of the new path before publish 10.
Both player A and Player B are eligible for visits by the old man.
So because of one faulty POI badge I no longer am eligable or closer to my second character slot? So what time frame are we talking that I have to wait now? 3 days? 3 weeks? 3 months?
A clear answer on the time factor in this"waiting line"would be nice.

It would be nice, but it was this way in beta, and its been this way ever since. Welcome to SWG...

Yes, it is apparent that they are both eligible for the visit, but when? Are they both eligible now? Or is player A eligible now and B is in one of those gated groups? Please clarify, as I am a member of group B in that example and am curious.

Still haven't seen anyone answer this yet, so I'll ask too.
Has anyone been visited by the Old Man, or know anyone who has?

to the post above me, i'm a hologrinder and i have no idea when i might get a visit..maybe i should give TH my cell phone so he can let me know. i mean 1-3 days being online for how long, 15 mins, 2 hours... ? I have 20 professions done, with TH admitting they added more slients, I don't know how many more slients I had to go. The holocron was quiet after 1, yet do i have 3 more slients or one more...I'm clueless. Which group would I be in.

ThunderHeart, PLEASE read this:
The way your implementing the new system helps hologrinders. I understand that and i dont care. BUT, shouldnt there be a different way to help veterans of the game who were roleplayers, not hologrinders? I mean i doubt before Yoda was a Jedi he was a swordsman, then a weaponsmith, then a ranger. Those of us who played the game it should be played NEED to be credited.
I've been playing this game since it launched 14 months ago. Why should I have to wait months more just to become a padawan while others who got the game and decided to hologrind because it was the popular thing get it so fast. It shouldn't take 2 years for someone who roleplayed to get Jedi. If I got a response from this I would definitely appreciate it.
Yea, TH, I bought an account like a year ago, Activated it and didnt log on, I roleplayed my character as on vacation really well. So i want jedi please, thanks......hahahah.
