Of course it can survive and continue to prosper! Look at LOTRO. The subscriber base is hovering around 250k, give or take, and Turbine has been pretty methodical about pumping out new updates and expansions. Why would SWTOR be any different?

Thanks! I had the same experience with the Crime Lord Packs. I NEVER received anything worthwhile in those. So maybe this is Bioware's penance toward me? LOL!

I got one last night in the first Blockade Runner pack I opened. I like it a lot, and agree that it's better looking than the Sith throne.

I made a pretty good haul last night with a few Blockade Runner Packs: Diplomat's Meditation Hoverchair Cyan-Blue Crystal Revan Armor Set DLA-13 Heavy Blaster Rifle C2-N2 Customization And a few other odds and ends, like emotes, credits and the like. The hoverchair is awesome, by the way. I've had much better luck with these packs then I ever had with the Crime Lord packs.

I do this, too. I sell mats on the GTN and do dailies almost every day. I've found that Scavenging, Bioanalysis and Archeology provide the best returns.

For my next character, I plan on picking up two of the Gammorean axes, modding them up, grabbing the invisible armor and naming him Conan the Sithberian.

Count me in as an unabashed SWTOR fan! I've been playing since December 2011 and left only for a short time, which I ultimately regret. But I'm back and having fun. I can't wait to progress through all of the story lines, and this is the first MMO where I've actually been interested in the end-game.

I love this because it's so true. I've had my eye on the Mask of Nihilus from the beginning, but try as I might, I just wasn't able to get one from a Cartel Pack. So what'd I do? I waited until the prices dropped from 5 mil to 1.4 mil on the GTN, pooled some credits from all of my characters, and just bought the damn thing for my Inquisitor. To me, it was money well spent. The thing is, the Cartel packs are pretty sweet; I've had my fair share of bric-a-brac, but I've also received some pretty cool items, too. I have no problems spending cash in the Cartel Market on packs and I suspect that a great deal of folks feel the same I do.

Weird. A few other people in the Customer Service forum have noticed that they're missing 200 coins as well.

Yeah, there's no reasonable parallel between the two. NGE was an entire rewrite of a game while SWTOR is simply going to a hybrid F2P set up.

And one they should perhaps finally let go...

Up until today I had 2100 cartel coins showing up in my account, but now it shows that I only have 1900. Anyone else have this happen? And if so, I wonder why...

Haha! My work here is finished then

Was that necessary? I wouldn't mind seeing screenshots of more sets, either, but nothing in the OP's post seemed to indicate he/she was having a temper tantrum over it. And people are worried that F2P will bring the derp in. Some of you misfits are priceless.

I played from December 2011 until August 2012 when I left to play LotRO. While I really enjoy that MMO, being a Tolkien and Middle-earth fan, I've since come back to SWTOR where I intend to make it my primary game of choice. I'm also looking forward to the F2P conversion (what can I say, I love cash shops), as well as Update 1.5.
