I'd say I'm the opposite of this. The Old Republic setting, as it is in canon, is a pretty ripe place for some RPing. Fall of the Old Republic, Mandalorian incursions superweapons, all kinds of stuff that's very different from the EU we know, but at the same time familiar enough for people to not be lost, and at the moment vague enough for a lot of wiggle room. It's unlikely the era is going to be covered by canon for a while, what with the focus being very heavily on the OT, and post-ROTJ eras, and I don't see that changing for the forseeable future. I wouldn't want the era to be post-TFA since things are going to be changing for that constantly in the near future, and it just seems like things will end up in a really weird place that doesn't bear much resemblance to the Star Wars we know.
I would second all of this. I think that the Old Republic as it appears in EU is a really cool time period and now that there isn't as much stuff filling it with the new canon it does give a lot of room to fill in between the broad brush strokes that have been mentioned thus far in canon.
Smaller character limit would be kinda nice, and maybe a much more restricted use on the archives to make using characters less like using tissue paper, give fights more meaning, encourage people to think about their decisions and faction choices, etc...
I'm kind of apathetic toward this. I wouldn't mind have the character limit capped at something like three instead of six, but then I don't feel all that strongly about it. Personally though I would kind of hate to see it below three though.
