My sentiments exactly…

When, or should I say, if they release an endgame pvp system that is deep and robust, something similar to that of DAoC, then I will gladly come back. But unfortunately the current state of the game is for that of the extremely casual player and maybe casual role player.

Yea, we got a free 30 days! Woohoo! And…. the PvP still sucks. I tried logging back in again this past week. Haven’t played since the ranked let down of 1.2 and wz’s are still trash. No consequences for bailing out of wz’s, crafting is still crap, no real world PvP, and the desire to level again isn’t there since I have 3 50′s on my original server that died and rerolled a new 50 on the Fatman. There just isn’t anything to hold interest.

I’m of the opinion that the “typical WoW clone mmo” is becoming stale. I think Rift would’ve been a lot better if they would’ve decided against static pathing mobs and “kill/collect x” quests, and made the entirety of the game world based on rifts, invasions, and zone events. A true dynamic world, unlike the static mob filled one they delivered.

Maybe my opinion is like this because I’ve been playing in MMO static amusement parks since vanilla WoW, and I’ve had enough of it.

They changed the free month to Legacy Lvl 8, not just lvl 50 alone, so 2 mid lvl toons, or 3 mid-low lvl toons will get the free month as well.

It’s a calculated move to attempt to stop hemorrhaging subs from the sub-par release and patch cycle they’ve had so far.

They know 1.2 is make or break for SWTOR.

I feel like we are always asking the question everyday on Gamebreaker…”Will this be Free to Play?” about everything…I don’t think SWTOR will ever be free to play, they will throw themselves off the the cliffs of Kaas City before they ever…ever let people play that game for free.

I dont like EA, but I wouldnt call giving millions of dollars worth of subscriptions for free an anti-consumer attitude.

Of course I would have prefered if they spent that money into cross server infrastructure for swtor, but at leas they are owning up to that mistake and attempting customer retention, which is a standard of pretty much every big company.

When I try to cancel service with my ISP they also offer me promos and stuff, and its not “desperation” as fourm goers call it, my ISP is not about to go broke, It’s just standard procedure, and Im glad they are doing it.

@twitter-10284322:disqus I’m almost in the exact situation you are. I had been playing since early access on Republic. I have a lvl48 Consular that I abandoned March 1 when the Oceanic servers came out.
I’ve made some alts on a PvE server that I left aside after finding a good guild on the Oceanic PvP server. I have a 39 Op main there and I play almost every day. I’m just enjoying the story/pvp and in no rush. This $14.99 reward for only people with 50′s has me pissed. I had no thoughts on cancelling my sub before but this has me really considering it. Slap in the face for loyal players that like alts.

Also paid for my GW2 prepurhase and if Bioware doesn’t rectify this that may be the only one of the 2 I play.

Its just a sloppy decision to reward only those with 50s. Wow.

Probably not a good argument. In the end their choice of just providing it to 50′s does not completely cover everyone they wish to target.

It’s like only providing free car maintenance only to people owns a car that has more 200k miles. If I bought a car at the same time as all these people, and because i dont drive as much I miss out?

but hey, it doesnt take much time to get to 200k miles.
