And to the butthurt people remark -- Yeah, because it's sooooo hard to re-subscribe for 1 month and get the title.

Toodles.
you seem to have missed the point, as in they probably worked on it for a while i mean since before the game even launched, why do all the butthurt people seem to think everything is done instantly, anyways, buh bye have fun in some other MMO, the title is not for the people who are quitting it is for the people that have genuine faith in this game and it's future.

Just cause 30% of the forums trolls/whiners follow the loudest 'voice' who say they are quitting does not mean the game is either bleeding subs or that the sky is falling, remember a very very small percentage of the people who are enjoying the game actually bother to visit the forums, and those that do don't necessarily come here to complain/whine or post 'i quit' threads.

Point being with or without this offer of a title and a medal, the people who were staying subbed would have stayed and the quitters would have quit, if a shiny new title is enough to make you resub to a game you don't like then something is wrong with you.

hmmm, instead of a title I would seriously consider some free game time. You know once a person leaves they will likely be gone for good. Don't have to believe me, ask SOE....

I think it's a nice idea, though it's odd that a "founder" title will apply to so many people. (Millions!) It looks like someone can still buy the game up to 8 weeks from now and still qualify as a "Founder" by immediately buying and redeeming a Game Time Code.

Some of us were on the forums in 2008, played in closed beta (not me), preordered, played in beta weekends, played in early game access, and were playing the first week if not the first day. I'm not complaining, but they do seem to be stretching the term "founder". Are the phone reps they hired yesterday BioWare Founders, too?

On the other hand, after playing Thanksgiving Weekend Beta and seeing so much unfinished and buggy, I guestimated that it could take until March to get the game to launch quality state. Maybe "Founder" is their way of saying "thanks for paying for the final beta"?
Do you support a Mac client for SWTOR?
BioWare Founders do! (once they get "everything stabilized and happy.")

Well, most of the people who are "quitting" are "quitting" over a false rumor. So yeah, I don't think Biowares aim was to keep people playing with this.

this sounds like you are looking for an excuse to stay with this game, if that's the case all the extra game time in the world won't make you enjoy this game.

gimme free time and i luv you long time, which in reality you don't enjoy the time but you would stay here and whine and complain about every little thing that in your opinion is wring with the game.

this is not a personal attack at you even though it may come across as one, it is a generalization of peoples attitudes in other games i have seen when they give free time out to try and stop the quitters from quitting.
