Nothing seems to work.
I tired logging in and out.
I tried going to Jamilla on Dathomir and she is not there.
I am going to try to go back to the waypoint again.

Ok I have run this into the ground.
Got back to Coronet and swooped out to the waypoint. Again I get there and the waypoint vanishes.
I'm logging for the night off of TC. I will write a bug report too.
Later.

Ok... new things found tonight:
TC2 (Eclipse)
Logged in with my Eclipse char... (/check showed inner glow.. to be expected)... got old man, sith outlaws, sith encampment just fine...
Went to dathomir, and village... started Whip's quests this time. (did Captain Sarguillo's quest yesterday (two days ago))
Ran into the vehicle calling problem... pretty much what people have been saying.... /bugged my experience there. So I decided rather than waste swoops, to just return slowly with the imprisoned villagers each time... that worked ok.
on the 5th villager, I thought I didnt like the direction he gave me to look (since I had been out 4 times before I know where there are lots of spawns) so I clicked whip again, and all he said was go look... and gave me another waypoint in the same directoin... about 8 double clicks later I decided he wasnt going to give me a new place to look... and as I got out there, I realized that in the center of all the waypoints was the pirate/thug/villager. No big deal there, except when I was done with the quests, a ton of waypoints were left over.
Another thing I ran into that should probably be fixed, is that those big pillar rocks can appear right through the villager, and even if you can see part of him, you still cant converse.... my solution was to drop a camp a few meters away, but that might not be available to all.
Will test a new quest if you update TC2 witha new copy of Eclipse (mastered medic today on Live)

Due to weights of the badges we have to get in order to be visited by old man. You need to think of these weighs again IMHO.
I have;
45 explorer badges (master explorer),
50 badge collector,
Master TK,
Master Fence,
Master Brawler (starter),
Neutral Corvette Destroy,
Jabba Theme Park,
Nym Theme Park,
Rebel Theme Park,
2 Warren Badges,
5 Hero of Tat badges,
1 Keren Race (corellia) badge,
Librarian Question badge.
and I am still surge in the force. Either that must be a bug or, or you have to re-calibrate the weights of the badges, because what a man could do more?
I cannot race more, due to my computer slowness andinternet speed of my country (too laggy the game is for me to race). So it would be unfair to the players which is in my situation. And also, I do not want to do more buggy corvette missions by all means with the well earned rights, simply they are buggy (also cannot soloable). I can do more master grinding, but what is the point in this, then bring back the holo-grinding.. You can make more badges like Librarian questions. 'Cuz they are really good and hard questions. And with this way only who has ideas about STAR WARS universe (yes too much info, kthxbye) can become FS not only the hardcore players with radeon 9800 and 1mbps lines. Simply add 3 or 4 question badges. I can do more theme parks, they are real fun, easy, long, funny IMO. So, that's my feedback give us more badges or re-calibrate the badges' weight. I personally suggest the second one recalibrating, HERO and THEME PARKS can give like 4 times more valueto us to be glowy... not just because I got them, it is because everyone who is dedicated enough can get them without unfairness.
ok guys you say that I must a grind another profession, yes I can do that with a big very big B U T, what is the difference between holo grinding and new system then? and also, someone saying "I have only 2 elite prof and am glowing", there is. So that theory of yours, in my opinion of course, is wrong. And it becomes more strong now that the theory of weight of the specific badges is at hand. So If the devs want it to be fair to us be a jedi (caution I am not saying easy or hard, I am saying FAIR to all equally), I think they must do something about the badges that we have to earn first. So in that case my post becomes more important I think, cuz there are some impossibilities and also some advantages in this system of theirs. And the live events badges, again according to time-regions some of us never saw the events. 'cuz you know these things weere happening when most of us were resting in our sweet dreams. So think again, badges are great ideas in fact, they make the game more fun and make us to play the game as a whole-thing.
I suggest a new calibration is in need if there is one... Think of my badges; any jedi could do more to prove his/her FS in the star wars universe? ok maybe a little some but not all of them or most of'em
...
PS: It is likeI am crying butI do not, I am saying I could do more badges or can give more time to this beautiful game, but there are some impossibilities and bugs and unfairness and many more flaws. So simply I am suggesting new calculation IF THERE IS ONE. They are giving more credits than intended to the holo-ers. So they can change that too, thank you for your time .

I tried logging a bug report last night but I didn't get a number that usually comes after you submit it. So I will write it out here in hopes that you will read it and submit it to the right people.
<- Begin Bug Report ->
Began the day in Theed. I noticed at the time my character was a few days old. I had Mastered Smuggler & Pistoleer on Sunday night. At the time I logged in I still had not mastered it. No big deal. I checked my force status and was told I had an inner glow. However I did not get the message displayed in the window but it did show in the chat box. I was able to make it show up in the window by using /che rather then the /checkforcestatus.
I wondered about for awhile and the old man showed up and gave me the crystal. Everything worked fine with him. I checked out the quest journal and it seemed to work fine. The only thing it listed was the visit from the old man but it did not list anything about the next step i.e. the 2 sith that were to jump me. Anyway this is as far as I got when the server was taken down. I logged out outside of Theed.
Later last night I relogged into TC2 and noticed I was in Coronet. I did a quick check and my character was up to date with my skills. I now had Master Smuggler & Pistoleer. I checked my inventory and the crystal was gone so I did another force check. Again I had an Inner Glow.The sameproblem existed with the/cheshowing you statusin both the chat box &window but /checkforcestatusonly showed it in the chat box. AnywayI wondered about for a bit and the old man visited me. I got the crystal and he despawned, everything fine so far. I wondered about for about an hour and decided to just have my character just sit and wait while I surfed the net. 
Then the music kicked on that I was in battle. This was about 5-10 minutes after I had let my character wait. I killed both Sith and retrieved the data disk w/ the waypoint. I examined the disk it said something like the disk holds important information. I then used the disk and received a waypoint about 1000 meters due west of my position. I then hopped on my swoop and took off for the waypoint.

I examined the disk it said something like the disk holds important information. I then used the disk and received a waypoint about 1000 meters due west of my position. I then hopped on my swoop and took off for the waypoint. As I get to the waypoint the waypoint disappears and there was no sith camp. There is however a couple of rogue bagaresets. I wipe them out to see if maybe they are causing the spawn no to appear. (Also note that maybe the rogue bagaresets may have taken out the camp, I'm not sure) After they despawn nothing happens, a couple of minutes later a corsec group spawns. So I check my journal through the crystal and notice that a few more items are displayed. After the journal entry for the old man, it shows 2 entries for the sith I had to fend off. There is also another entry after that. It says go to the waypoint that I was given via disk. These only list out if there is a check mark in the box for showing completed items. If I uncheck this there are no items in the journal.
So with that I check the forum and read the bulleted guide for what to do next. The next step is to head to Dathomir and talk to Jamilla. So I head off to Coronet to take a shuttle to Dathomir Science Outpost but as I get to Coronet I notice that the Starport is gone. I check the overhead map and it too shows no starport. Weird! Anyway I bypass this obstacle and take a shuttle from a shuttleport to Tyrena and try to shuttle from there to Dathomir. After I buy the ticket I noticed that the waypoint is back on my planetary map. Hmm! So I buy a ticket back to Coronet and see if the starport is back. I shuttle into the starport and there it is. The starport is back. Again Weird!. Anyway I then hop on my swoop and head out the waypoint. As I get there I find the waypoint stays active this time but still no sith camp. The Corsec group is still here but thats it.
So I swoop back to Coronet, the starport is still there. I shuttle back to Tyrena b/c I still have a ticket for Dath that leaves from there. I then shuttle to Dathomir Science Outpost and see if I can find Jamilla. I can 't find her anywhere. She must be somewhat instanced, meaning in order to see her you must complete the previous objective.
Well it was worth a shot. So I again shuttle back Corellia but I fly directly into Coronet not Tyrena. I notice the waypoint is still active so I head out to see if maybe it spawned. Still nothing. I wait for about 1/2 an hour. Still nothing. So then I logged for the rest of the night.
Before I logged I submitted a bug report but I did not recieve a confirmation number.
I hope this helps!

I knew I was going to forget something.
I noticed something about the radial dial when I went to get my swoop out.
It normally shows Examine, Destroy and Generate. However everytime I called mine out it had Call, Examine, Destroy.
It seems as though it was using a Pet template rather then a vehicle template. I was still able to generate the vehicle.
Sorry about not reporting this earlier.

Cyricy, I read Iwoow's post about how he only had 2 elite professions mastered, so there goes my theory about needing 3 elite master. Accept my apology. There does seem to be a bug of some sort.

PLEASE list your badges 
Also, how old is your character? Have you been playing it a lot?
