I don't know why you guys are railing on Bioware so much, Bioware is one of the masters of storytelling, not just in videogame format, but throughout all media. I remember back when I played WoW and thought to myself, "This is so unengaging". Sure the gameplay was more focused and balanced, but there was little voice acting in it, which this game has in spades.

I was also unable to make a real impact on the story of WoW, an issue Old Republic rectified with the fascinating character study that is the Class-Questline. Not to mention the romance sub plots that truly allowed me to enter the virtual world Bioware crafted and lovingly embrace amazing characters such as Vette or Felix Iresso.

In the end, Bioware's 300 million dollar MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic will go down in history as one of the most significant titles to ever be released, and will become such a thing that history will not allow to be forgotten. And us founders will be able to say we were there from the start.

They don't deserve this.
you assume the people who have unsubbed are concerned with a title and/or "medal".

Bioware/EA you guys are the biggest failures I have ever seen. This game has so much potential, and you guys focused on pushing out a new content patch not even within a month of full release? Kidding me? Then you throw this little snazzy title out to make people stay? Even if you didn't do that under those intentions, it sure as hell sounds like that.

Your customer service is ****, your PR is ****, your distribution company is ****, this game (which could be so amazing) is ****. Your plea for your subscribers to stay? That is priceless.
Golfclap Bioware, a *********** golfclap to you.

If you guys ever decide to make another MMO that is this much of a flop.. please remember one thing: Do not release new content within the first 3 months if your game is this broken.

TLDR: Stop making new content ASAP. Work on a major patch involving your ENTIRE list of known problems and fix the **** out of them.

I AM

When, pray tell, is the time to create the Founders' Club?

The whole concept of such a thing is to include only the earliest subscribers.

I believe you are letting your irrational rage cloud your judgment.
If you pick up a novel, and see pages 2-899 only as obstacles between pages 1 and 900, then it may just be that you don't like reading.

When you impact the swtor story?

At least in wow (starting wtlk) the world change around you while progressing (as in icecrown siege)

In swtor it's even the same......
