How about just allow everyone to have 2 char per server. The only reason I am grinding towards jedi is because I don't want to pay for an alt. I think allowing an extra char per server would cut the jedi population greatly.

I would have to agree with everyone else. That would be a no with holo's. I did my 4 plus a few more to even try to open up jedi before all the changes. The grind now is atleast more realistic and has a theme with the quests.

And now if you didnt want to grind professions to open up jedi, then you dont have the willpower to grind for jedi now.

Nope. Holos were very bad for the game. Just about everyone was afk. Nobody played any profession for any length of time. Resource prices were out of control. Others farmed holos to sell in their spare time. The whole game was full of people afk doing a lot of nothing.

This way might be silly in some respects, but at least people build a template and play it as they work towards Jedi if that is what they want or justget fs skills to enhance their non-Jedi skills if they prefer. I did the hologrind and a Jedi grind after it. By the time I reached a point where I had a character I could actually play all my friends were gone and there was nobody to play against anyway because everyone was afk dancing in cantinas or crafting.

Because it was the most un-Jedi like system possible. Further the holo-grind did nothing but cause problems in SWG, and is the root of the hate directed to Jedi, and the imballance in the finicial systems in the various galaxies. Beyond all of that, it was not fun, cheapened all the professions, and had no redeeming qualities.

Off the cuff, I'd say that covers the basics.

Hologrinding was horrible - horrible concept, horribly easy, horribly boring, fubar'd the economy to an end it still has not recovered from. The village is more quest based as it should be, and makes more sense than hologrinding. People will always find a way to do things the fastest way possible. If you choose to do nothing, but throw grenades then you have no one but yourself to blame for your boredom or ease into the ranks of the Jedi. If they really want to keep Jedi rare and keep the numbers in check all they need to do is go back to saber TEF/skill loss, I guarantee that would do the trick but they won't do it because the leet noobs would cry when they did something stupid and lost skills and would cancel accounts and SOE doesn't want to lose money.
