Welcome to AlphaCrafters.com



For old war hero schematics and old fashion shells, click here.




Welcome

Our New Year's resolution is this: we want to make it easier, and faster for you to order your next end-game armoring, mod, and enhancement from our guild.  This is only for The Bastion server.  We are not fully active in other servers.


Is It Really FREE?

Yes!  We craft our items for free.  All you need are the materials (mats) for your item.  You can click into the link to see the torhead references and mats requirement for each item.  We do ask for optional tips.  Most customers give us extra materials or credits that they can afford.

How to Order?

STEP 1: Decide which item you want and click on the link below to see the mats requirement.

STEP 2: You can order by mailing your mats to thelastdon (Republic).  Make sure that you input in the name of your item.  You'd be surprised how many people order without specifying the item.

Imperials on the Bastion server can mail it to ice'ice'baby.  Funny name, we know.

Most orders are fulfilled within 3-4 hours, but return can take up to 24 hours.




Allied Crafters?


These are individuals that are not part of Alpha Republic, but support its mission and have committed to delivering products within 24 business hours.  You can contact thelastdon for more information about how to be added to the alliance.

Review: Three reasons why the ICE vendor sucks


We want to give some honest feedback to the cartel vendor developers.  We understand there's separate teams that manage GSF, PVE, PVP, and cartel market items.  So this feedback goes specifically to the cartel team: the Interplanetary Component Exchange (ICE) vendor sucks.  And we'll list the reasons why...


  1. The speeder isn't so special. The speeder is a tauntaun -- they all look the same.  Unlike the Vectron BL-37 Zephyr from the previous vendor which was unique, cool, the Special Operations Tauntaun just isn't so special.
  2. The new rep vendor is greedy.  Not only do you have to drop over a hundred dollars worth just to get to the rep -- you actually have to spend cartel market certificates on the majority of the items.  In previous rep vendors such as the Bounty Supply Company, there were over 25+ items that could be bought purely with credits.  In this release, there's less than half.  Pure greed. 
  3. This set is just so boring...  A lot of the items are too similar to what's available in the market.  No special headgear like the Resplendent Crown of Avarice or unique sets like the BK-0 Combustion of old.




We love the game and we hope you take this feedback with an open mind.

Your user base is already spending hundreds just to get to max rep on these cartel vendors, so let them buy at least half the items without requiring certificates so it makes it less of a greedy 'cash' grind.  Secondly, give us some uniqueness to these "cosmetic" stuff.  We really do want to pay for it.

Some feedback online from the popular commercial MMO guide at dulfy:


P.S. Here's are some feedback on messing with Korrealis family lore.

Secret Santa in the Bastion


Purpose:
Reward people that were patient and kind to new PVP players in our PVP server.  The winner will get 1.5m in credits!

The Setup:
We set out on a mission this weekend to find the most helpful PVPers in the Bastion.  As you may know, plenty of players have left for one reason or another.  But we wanted to test out who would be helpful, or provide guidance to new players, especially if they come on to the RWZ scene.  These include players that may not be the best geared.

The winner:
Jiraya

Jiraya, a fellow smash monster, has been patient and actually would publicly say stop being mean to our 'new' player.

The loser:
Luxs

The screenshot explains below...


The online world often reflects real life in terms of people having bad attitudes.  We're here to recognize those that keep this game alive and kicking through patience and kindness, thanks Jiraya for being an example of this!

SWTOR Demographics


I'm sure EA has marketing data that tells them who their audience is, and with that, they make decisions on how to market and increase the viability of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This chart above shows what our FB data shows on the demographics of our guild fan base and membership.  This also includes all visitors that consistently visit our page and didn't even 'like' us.  The sample size is roughly 425 people.

Interesting facts:
  • In terms of age group, 36% fit into the 25-34 category.
  • The split between genders is 74% male to 25% female (is 1% other? Cathar?!?)  So yes, if you ever thought the quiet cute female Jedi is actually a male...well, you do the math.
