I like the way they wait until March(LEGACY?)

I think they waited until March to Implement the 'Legacy' System to entice players to Subscribe again.

Why March?

Well lets see...
Christmas has just gone, the game was launched right before December 20th
(at this point Most players would have bought 60-day gametime cards as The CCard Billing System is so Awful)

So....

• 1 Standard Star wars: The Old Republic game WITH a Free 30days
• 60-day gametime card = 90days

This would Last you until March 20th More or Less.

I hear they are releasing the 'Legacy' system at this time(March).
Do you think that this is CLEVER marketing Strategy? or Selfish?

I mean 30 Days AFTER Launch (when CCards are cancelled before they are billed) they make a big thing about how Special the 'FOUNDER' Title is.

right Now its February 19th, I wouldnt expect them to implement new patches or Mention anything new about the game. Why Would They?

But When March 20th Comes (the Month where most of the 60-Day GT subs run out).
I guarantee you guys that, This is when they'll Start Paying a lot more attention to the sales. They will Want to Keep gamers Enticed.

I wouldnt be Suprised if March 20th is the day that the Legacy System would Finally be implemented.

Please Don't Say the Generic cliche... "Oh Other MMO's do that all the time.. its Normal".
Other MMO's didn't make this so Blatantly obvious to see what they are doing.

Or...adult enough to see the whimsy and not be all offended by it.

This is called marketing. MMOs do it to keep and get new players, happens all the time.

But if you feel that you need your tin-foil hat then please go get it.

lol are you really defending BW and these tactics? Well at least it's obvious as to what they are doing to try to keep people playing.

Sorry BW, it's not gonna work on me anymore.

Are you kidding me? Don't make it obvious huh, have you not noticed how whenever an mmo comes out with a unique feature, it 'mysteriously' so happens that a few weeks later Blizz announces they're coming out with the exact same feature?

Frankly, at least they allowed you to gain legacy levels from day one.

They have to release content every few months- that's how it works- they've already said they have over a year's worth of content ready for slow releases over the next year. Heaven forbid they're transparent about something after everyone whines about how tight lipped they are.

It's not particularly unusual either- consider that GW2 released their final class and info on the upcoming open beta right as TOR launched.

That said... Legacy might not have been polished enough to release, or, they may not have wanted it to be there right away- like ranked stuff, that could just be something that's a better thing to add later.

your whole post makes me lawl. sorry guys, we know we took out a huge amount of content from beta and left you with this steaming pile but we will be adding all that back in and maybe even some new stuff that should have been in at day 1.

lol..muppets.
