QFE
Especially if you get extra stuff via the extra cl81+ boxes... It _is_ an inbalance and will be addressed.
In time everyone will go to CL90...
It will definately not be exclusively for veterans at a certain point in time.
Anyone who thinks that is not thinking straight.
MsNIL,
As I have said on another thread - SonG. has extracted the TRE files and the "form" Holo's give 15 min buffs (mostly) and the rest is just descriptive - I think what you are saying is misleading.
You cite the "cloak" source as part of the Rnger revamp. That was discussing the changes to stealth/detection - not that Cloak would be in the NGE. Indeed, reading the Ranger Revamp that was in "In Concept" it's all pre NGE related. Again, I do not believe it will be put in.
Personally, I hope there are levels after 90 - maybe there will be a whole range of "epic" levels and specialisations for all 9 professions.

Was alot of talk about the Jedi cloak during the ranger revamp. I presume it's still in there.

I will start to dig up the .tre files shortly to see what I can find.
Nil, not knocking your info or nothing (cause I wish you were Corr 
) but what is the point of the so called FS guys and the respec jedi suppose to do in gaining levels in these quests.
There is already a degree of seperation in the jedi community with the robes and the levels so what is the real point of doing these quests or looking for these looteable/quest items if you most likely won't get anything new (FRS type robe like elders or below it,extra 10 level or new and different force powers).
I see the hope that you put into everyone's mind but we are talking about SOE logic here, they thrive on makeing there own problems in game and keeping us miserable in some form or fashion.
I can tell you this, I for one am not happy about this robe situation as we all will still have the same colors/robes on (for the 80 odd million jedi xp I grinded this hurts).
I for one see this as another 2 year (maybe planned/maybe not) beta that we are paying for and testing for them.
I can even go so far to say that all the stuff they say is in game is probably not (remeber jedi wasn't in game til patch 6).
They could prove me wrong but I am not holding my breath and will be cancelling again for another 6-7mos after I get my elder rewards (sits back and reads forums 
)

wow will the old holos convert?
Odds are they will not convert the old Holocrons. Remember what happned to all the old holocrons before they started the hologrind? there was a "Disturbance in the force" as a CSR put it so nicely, that reduced them all to holocron splinters..... Either they will not convert or they will break. If they did convert it would be nice but then we would have a bunch of people complaing that so and so has an advantage because they started with more holocrons.

Lol not likely but it would make you a popular guy after NGE hits.

From what I played so far I wish I could go down to Level 1 with my main and grind it all up again. The quests are awesome.

The big quesiton is if the existing holocrons are going to be worth anything. I have spent 16 months killing dark troopers to amass about 40 holos. Had more but used them up in bh fights when the bhexploiting of droids forced you to use them. Now, is all my hard work wasted? I quit holo hunting about a month ago just because they were not dropping at all from anyone. Just curious, when is the last time anyone else got a holo loot?
You can loot them off the npcs in the force crystal hunters cave easily enough, and if it took you 16 months to get 40 holos off of DTs then you were doin something wrong
I could loot that many in about 8 hours in that place back before the cu lol
