TC-Gorath not up. My chars on TC-Prime are gone. No more TC playing for me. Kinda a waste of time if I have to grind a new char every couple of weeks.

The TC-Prime character is a known issue, check dev tracker, and it will be fixed. Its seems people treat TC as just another server. Its a beta server and it exists to tests things before they go live. That means that its users need to understand that it will crash, be taken down at the oddest hours for days on end, and could even involve character wipes.
I see TC as a reason open betas dont work sometimes

I understand that character wipes do occur, but it becomes difficult to test alot of things when I've always got a noob character.

Zaene: There hasn't been a character wipe, TC-Prime has been mothballed with the mass testing of GCW and event content is tested on TC-Gorath. There are Character Builder Terminals (Blue Frogs) on TC-Gorath so you can more or less instantly generate a new character, template it up, get credits, buffs and equipment. Go, have fun and test.
Fodder: TC-Prime is intended to operate as a 'normal' live server, it is merely set at Publish+1. People are there to develop characters in exactly the same way (with the exception of having extra char slots) as they do on Live. As a result, as on Live, people get attached to their character, have plans for tomorrows gaming, harvesters out, houses to put rent in, etc etc.
When they go to get a mug of tea and come back and find that they've been mothballed for 'technical reasons' they get a little touchy. So would you if your home server was either splattered with CBT's or taken out of service with no notice (something which is possible but unlikely).
The players on TC are more than used to the fact that the server goes down (usually just when somebody gets a buff set and announces it in the chat channel cos they are off to do some serious damage....) The function of TC is to catch the bugs that would normally get through to Live if we only ever tested at Master level with buffs and all the resoures to hand.
Oddly enough, on the whole, it does work.

Depends on the time of day.
just type /chatr join rin and type /rin in your spatial to find any other rangers on.
Otherwise, type /chatr join SWG.TestCenter.Chat.TCPA for the test center chat. That's the community server chat where you can find others to train you, help test something, find a buffer or ask questions and stuff.
