Yes, because the same team that fixes bugs etc is the same team that codes new items.

I think you should simultaneously release subscription data as evidence that SWTOR is doing well and this is just a reward for founding players. Otherwise the biggest effect will be to fuel the speculation that SWTOR is dying fast and turning to desperate measures to retain players.

Most likely what happened is they created a 5 day window for those rebills, to prevent the problems that happened this time from happening again. I have no problem with that, it's just a couple of days,you're losing just over $1.

Any time you have rebills this massive, you have to stretch it out over a few days, or you have a giant cluster of problems. Most LIKELY what happened was they went with the day you activated the code for your rebill day, which makes sense.

Again, it's just a couple of days, it's not like they're billing out months in advance, or even weeks. Nobody's trying to screw you, they're just trying to make sure that things get billed more efficiently, and that's a good thing
That has got to be the biggest crock of fanboi bull I've ever heard. Every other mmo in existence manages to handle their "massive rebills", i.e. subscription fee renewals, perfectly fine without "5 day windows".

LOL

They most likely are... You need to be familiar with the overall structure of the code in order to fix bugs...

Are you saying that every other MMO (and most have fewer players than this one) all rebill the vast majority of their player base on the same day?

No, they don't, and it won't be as much of an issue later on. When the vast majority of your players are all 30 days past their sign-up date and getting subbed for the first time, that's a different situation than in a mature game, where they'll be distributed much more evenly throughout the month.

That's not a fanboy thing, that's pretty basic reality right there. Most MMOs have a window of an entire month, not five days.

No, he's talking about you're due on a certain day, but they're charging you whenever they feel like it in a "window" around that date and that being acceptable.
