mmorpg.com has an  interview with BioWare’s Cory Butler discussing  customization options coming in Game Update 2.1, Cathar race and Free to play restrictions.  Most interesting parth of the interview are the last few questions regarding server transfer which include some new information about upcoming stuff that will be adding.

MMORPG.com: Are for-pay server transfers coming? If so, when can players look forward to this service? Can you talk about any additional for-pay services players can look forward to?

Cory Butler: Paid Character Transfers were originally slated to be part of Game Update 2.1, but we ran into a few bugs with the new Legacy Achievement system.  You can expect Paid Character Transfers to be coming in hot on the heels of Game Update 2.1.  No new announcements for paid services to make at this time.

Other interesting info from the interview is Cathar Species unlock priced at 600 Cartel Coins for the entire account. This price will be the same for both Subscribers and Free-to-Play as well as Preferred Status players.
