so basically if you want to play the game realize it'll cost you more than 40 dolars. it actually says this in little words buried in a paragraph(that no one prob ever reads) but I assumed that since the game comes with 30 days that it would actually let you play. app not. oh well here's hoping it's worth it. p.s. I've never done any subscription games before but I'm pretty sure this isn't standard practice. If it is then its less ridiculous but still annoying  | ||

I'm not kidding. If you want to play a subscription MMO with no players then go ahead but if I were you I would return that asap | ||

I'm just mad about one thing the company did that I think is stupid and doesn't have anything to do with whether the game is actually any good. about your talk about it having no players I figured that I'd at least be able to enjoy the sroty in the first 30 days then if it was boring after that I'd stop playing. | ||

Make an account on SWTORs forum and ask how you can subscribe with your 30 day free pass. | ||

You still have your free 30 days and you won't be charged 15$ a month if you don't like the game. It's stupid but they hope you aren't smart enough to do this. okay thanks. Ive never actually played a paying mmo before(other than trying wow at a friends house) so I wasn't sure how it actually works. thanks for the advice. | ||

I don't know about eve it seems like too much economics for me but I'll look into it. the problem is the 30 days isnt seperate its built into the install so I don't actually think there's anyway to do it without getting a seperate card or using a credit card. | ||

1) Yes, it is not uncommon that you have to set up a subscription before you can begin playing. No, you will not be charged until your free time is up. You can immediately cancel it without any side effects. 2) It's a bad game. Get a refund. | ||

Ah yes, the pain and suffering of the only modern game engine that makes powerpoint look like Crysis. That's ignoring the completely loathsome endgame. SWTOR was an ok single player RPG. | ||

SWTOR was an ok single player RPG. Pretty much this. Wish Bioware would have just developed another single player KOTOR. I think it would have been so much better. Take the game back. Fyi you won't get charged until the 30 days is over (at least I wasn't). Right now I'm fighting trying to get signed back in to cancel the sub I thought I had already cancelled =/ Had a mobile authenticator which I deleted off my phone, now I can't log back so yay | ||

You have to setup a subscription and will not be charged until the free time is up. @OP: If you want to play the game make sure you roll on one of the high pop servers (there's basically only 1 high pop server per region per type). Since they recently introduced server transfers - just roll on the servers which are the targets for the char transfers (look at their forum to find out which one). | ||

I'm not 100% sure if it's standard practice, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was... but what I do know is that they have done it since release. Plus, I think subscription models and all that stuff is EAs work in the end, but that's just a hunch @op as many have said, it's a bad game | ||

I knew it was decent SP but really hoped it would end up as a decent mmo also. Quit some time ago (right before 1.1 I think). Was fun but too empty. | ||
