the banners are cool, and swoop bike too.. they should make a blaster where if you shoot it the game becomes pre-cu and everyone rejoices!

The current faction ranks and ranking system are being removed. There is no conversion planned into the new system due to the ease of gaming the old system.

Each person who has an active account when chapter 3 goes live will be rewarded a Pub gift of 10,000 GCW points. It's a No Trade gift.

This is all I could find so far as facts on the question, which you may already know:

How long will it take to advance in the new system?
Currently at the max calculated advancement rate we would see our first General in 16 weeks.

At what rate do the Officer ranks decay?
Players can lose a maximum of 40% of a rank per week.

How difficult is it to advance and maintain the officer ranks?
Unknown at this time. We will be monitoring activity and have access to the knobs and buttons necessary to adjust accordingly should the system be deemed too steep or too easy.

Apium, do you or anyone else know what the timer/trigger is for these points? I was just running around restuss and got nothing, but when I entered the imp base I got like 26 points. Ran around restuss again, went back to the base and got 50 points. What's the timer to begin with? Like 20 minutes apart ot what? Really would like to know.

Maybe there is another multiplier based on how much you are contributing? I did notice a giant jump in the amount I was getting right after I got like 3 pvp kills in a row.

Might be a good idea too if we all posted out tc toons names, so if we see each other we could group or something. Mine is Ven'dell over there.

Apium and Aitek. Remember you can put testcenter characters in your friends list and test center characters can put starsider characters in their friends list. So if you see someone on either server you can call them over.
