I didn't play beta, but I played from Launch for about 8-10 months before I put it down. Playing a Jedi Sentinel and I got back into the combat easily enough (is Watchman still the best sentinel spec?). The skills seem relatively the same and everything.
My questions pertain more to server life and stuff like that. Of the servers, are there any that other people would recommend (I have the free server transfer) and if there is anything else someone would suggest I'm all ears. I quit WoW completely for the first time in 10 years and kind of treating SWTOR as a single player game w/ a social aspect and I'd like to find a server that group quests are still possible.
