Lag was a part of it, but that wasn't the main reason why I logged off.

Tried it for a bit and I have to say that this is 1 of the worse free to play models I've ever seen. | ||

I'd go so far and say it's not playable with 2 bars at lv 50. Overall the F2P just feels unpolished. More like "What do we have as options?" instead of "What would be good things to charge for?" i.e. add new char creation options (haircuts, makeup, heads, ... ) to the shop and charge for those (also add an ingame "plastic surgeon" for older chars) instead of demanding money for hiding the helm. Add special dyes to dye your armor (you also get rid of being forced to use the chest piece color). Everyone else remembers true black from UO?  Sell additional character slots (there's no option for that!). Sell the story (ties into char slots) - your 3rd char story costs 5-10$. Sure you could just create an additional account, but I'd say a lot of people would just pay 5-10$ for convenience so they can have all chars on one account (sweeten the deal with a free small serverwide vault (3x3 would be enough - again with the option to make it bigger). Sell access to Illum (planet story & flashpoints). Sell Black Hole dailies. Sell dungeon packs (Siege & Lost Island). Their whole content is so incredible modular and that makes it really easy to sell in small packs. But they dont sell the content - they sell accessibility (and some uninspired cosmetics) This sounds nothing like Kotor games. Why would you need so many quickslots? Do you really use 20 different skills later during combat? | ||

While leveling, your probably dont "need" them to succeed. Dont get discouraged by my ramblings. If you havent tried it give the game a try, since only you know if it's a game to your liking. And hey - it's free | ||

Or anytime later during the F2P era is also enough, like subscribing in 2 years and then getting the cc from our initial subs? If they at least would give me 4 bars as a preferred player, I'd consider playing it again. Not much, but the 5 warzones with friends, to just play a different game once in a while. And while doing that I would probably meet some other nice people from the earlier SWTOR days which would get me to buy something (I'd guess). Now I'm thinking I'll wait until they add a bit more PvE content ("STORY CONTINUES THIS YEAR!" *cough*), resub for 1 month and then quit again until they added enough content again. Or it will end like WoW, where I had the same idea, and in the end I havent played it again after I quit. Yeah at first they made it look like you would get them no matter what if you had previous months subscribed on your account, but they changed the fine print. Pretty dirty move. Good to see some people here have brought up the fact that you have to pay to hide your head slot... rofl. That alone should tell you that this "F2P" model is only a joke for suckers, seems more like a manipulative ploy to get more subscribers. | ||

I played it when it first came out nearly a year ago, but I couldn't play it for very long because the ability delay it was too frustrating as I am used to how crisp WoW is. Gameplay is pretty "wow-like" since like ~1 month after release. I played ~2 dungeons yesterday and the gameplay was fine. | ||

I'm glad I get 5 free warzones a week, because PvP can be fun in this game. I don't see anything fixed. The one thing that was better now was that more people were online. This is because of the server merge + free to play option. On November 16 2012 10:59 Slackzftw wrote: You are a really intelligent person ....not!

Oh my go'od! ...NOT! Edit: I waited many years for this game, bought the collector's edition(which was fucking expensive!) and was really hyped. Then the game turned out to be shit. That's why I'm "crying". I'm really disappointed. On November 16 2012 17:35 Grettin wrote: Quick question: Whats the most interesting story-line for you guys that i should play trough?

As a guy who mainly played republic, I still think that the Imperial side had way better story and voice acting. | ||

Agent is up there, personally I didn't mind Sorcerer either though many people thought it was pretty bad. No idea about republic, never got past level 20 there. | ||

It could be a theme in Star Wars MMOs. Note - Galaxies launch versus Galaxies close, totally different games. (It's a philosophical thing for me.) I might try it out now, I was in the beta but never bought the game. I really like the storylines, better than generic quests at least. | ||

That said, opening animation was awesome. But the rest.. graphics are bad (even on very high), starting story is almost nonexistent. Your first quests are generic kill 10 guys and save 6 people from cages, which is made worse with 20 people doing it at the same time and monster respawning every 30s although the guy said I was only one that could help. Movement+combat system is so ran uninteresting and free to play character moves way too slow for big empty maps they put you on. All enemies just stand still and don't bother you unless you come really close and it is easy to see them. At least in Skyrim (with is also big and empty with nothing happening most of the time) you could get attacked before you noticed the enemy. First impression is bad. Maybe I am not just made for playing MMOs. | ||
