When will this game be playable?

Absolutely nothing to do with your processor.

You seem to be a bit mixed up on what own means, if bioware go under it will be because ea lets it, if EA go under then bioware will most likly follow unless they go into administartion and someone else buys them or they buy themselves out of the contracts.

You see how that works, ea own bioware, bioware dont own ea.

So yet again what are you comparing swtor to in your claims that is shall thus be f2p by jan 2013.

For someone who knows it all you dont seem to know alot. the red bit is really ironic

yes, but by that time the game had what, 4 years to work out bugs? after the devs had time to iron out the problems exc. i wasnt trying to say "you only played an mmo for 2 years your a noob" i was saying "if youve never been there for a launch, from the begining, then you wouldnt know that this is what to expect"

Its like being drafted for WW2 two weeks before the end, spending a week in europe siting in some town, and going "This isnt so bad", then expecting ever other war to be just like that.

No MMO will ever be 100% perfect out of the gate.

i agree to this.
however, leveling up a toon is not near exploring what this game (should) have to offer, with balance issues, ability delay, or big scale pvp. where the most issues are atm.
is something you experience from level50

Lets use rift as an example then, because i played that the day it was released and was far more playable for me than this is now. The only real complaint with rift was the performance issue which I didn't suffer.

I think this game is terrific, a little buggy but nothing terrible imo. But I think it's funny how people who say how terrible the game is like to say how it will go f2p. I highly doubt it will anytime soon but f2p isn't necessarily a bad thing, some people sonsider it to be the "mark" of a dying game, but if they have other ways to make money, why does it matter? I am a huge fan of the game, but I don't see how going f2p is a bad thing. I'd rather not have to pay a monthly subscription even if I'm willing to.

Might want to buy a new Computer!

Judging by the way BW are going.... January 2010?

LoL! I played SWG when it was just tattooine, no mounts or anything. Just a ball of dirt and you run around and you LOVE YOUR STAR WARS. Then they gave us mounts and OMG we were so glad when they made it where the shuttles that take you from place to place were put on a 10 minute cycle instead of the 15 minutes wait cycle you had for planet-to-planet travel. NOW THAT WAS SWEET. And when I did get my mount, I put up with having to stare at the ground in order to move anywhere for six months. QUESTS? Who needs 'em? Get a random generated block of text from a static mission terminal that tells you to kill a certain amount of somethings and then DO IT AGAIN UNTIL THE DAY THE UNIVERSE COLLAPSES IN UPON ITSELF. Don't worry Bioware, I'll stick around. This game is friggin' sweet, sorry EA's greedy *** made you release it early.

PS: I'd tell you to ignore the whiny little kids who don't know what steaming piles the games of yesteryear were and what we had to put up with but it seems like you know how to do that already.

to some extent you are correct, but not entirely.
there are too much dung in this game, that should have been fixed in the beta.
and saying that the game is merely two months old isnt a valid argument. A game have to compare to current standards, not 10 year old ones.

I do still enjoy raids in this game, but thats it. Im playing on a month-to-month basis. really hoping for them to fix it. Staying because of friends.
The game itself does not keep me as entertained as i wish a mmo would do.
