I dont particularly care for any of the PVE raid/instance content, and I am only interested in PVP when its super balanced. (last time it wasnt) I still can't believe that they're giving away all of the story content (which is arguably the best part of the game) for free. I'm definitely going to go back and finish a couple of storylines. | ||

A good summary can be found on Dulfy's page: Legacy Perks with Cartel Coins Cartel Market Items F2P restrictions (good table at the end) Bioware, once again, has no fucking clue about MMOs. My personal gem is: "only two quickbars/hotbars" (more can be unlocked, maximum 6). "Let's make the playing experience shit (there's a lot more of that stuff). That will encourage the people to subscribe/spend money. But hey, we will offer them a good story for free. That worked out well the last time." | ||

The fact there charging for the crappy bits and making the good part free should tell you all you need to know about how much of a clue they have :p | ||

Looks like this is a F2P RPG. Then if we want to have access to the actual MMO part, we'll have to pay. That seems very unusual to me, I mean, compared to regular F2P MMOs. I was really looking forward to this game going F2P, and I'm the type of guy who buys hats in TF2. Unfortunately EA's model looks kind of disappointing so far. | ||

this is like a tutorial on how not to do a free to play model that works. Which is kinda sad considering there are a lot of examples on how to make it work with dota 2, LoL, LotRo... | ||

I know that im gonna have cartel tokens waiting for me tommorow because i sub'd for 6 months before i quit. If you've subbed before you get "preferred status". And really you hardly get shit for that. Also, they've changed the policy on the cartel coins that you get from previous months of subbing, you have to be subscribed on the date that free to play goes live(today) to receive them. Sounds about right for EA. I looked at the full list of prices on the cartel market, then immediately wiped the idea of ever playing this game again out of my mind unless they make this more of a free to play MMO with slight restrictions and not a trial MMO. | ||
