Celebrate Game Update 1.2: Legacy

exactly how i feal!!

What the HELL?! So even though I've been playing almost daily since launch, because I've been playing alts rather than ramming one through to 50 I don't get 30 days free? That is bull####! I wasn't even considering cancelling my account any time soon, but I have to say if you guys continue to favor level 50s like this then I've seriously got to rethink things.

Is something stopping you from rerolling? It's obviously not a level 50 character, so you playing on a dead server is your own fault. I leveled a Guardian up to around 35-36 a month or more ago, the server was always "light", so I rerolled a Vanguard on a heavy server. He's now lvl 36 and I've had a blast the whole way. What's stopping you?

I'm more than a little unhappy about the decision to give all level 50 characters a free month, however I won't be quitting a game over something I never had to begin with. I think it is a nice gesture but that it excludes parts of the community who have been experimenting with different classes/faction/servers or who just don't have enough time in their busy schedules to play enough to get to 50. My personal pass time in many an MMO has been PvP, and given the excellent bolster mechanic I haven't felt the need to raise any of my level 20 or 30 characters to 50 with any sense of haste.

In conclusion: not very happy, about the exclusionary criteria for the free month

Sucks if you don't get a free thing. I do see the point, though. Those who have gotten to 50 and aren't really into alts and had nothing to do yet are still here, those are the ones that BW is trying to reward. They're the ones hanging on in hope and living on promises. They're the 'most loyal' in the sense that their loyalty has been tested the most, but they're still supporting the game even though there's not a lot here for them any more.

So if I read this correctly, only accounts with an active subscription (i.e; one with a credit card on file or a game time card used) will be eligible for the 30 days free game time? I may be a bit weird in this department as I add my credit card to pay for a month then cancel the sub to keep my credit card information from being stored and add my cc information again to resub each month. I have an "active" subscription still, but this practice disqualifies me from the promotion?

Anyone care to bet that they try to redress this PR fubar and end up with a bigger one, instead?

Nice gift... I had let my account lapse for a couple of weeks after playing beta since 2010 and just resubscribed yesterday, freebie month + pet = win .

I can't help but boggle at people complaining about it only being for those with 50's: we played the exact same story as you are trying to, we just did it already. People with 50's are obviously more dedicated players who care for the game more, or they wouldn't be 50. We're the ones actively contributing to the game's economy, pve endgame, and pvp.

Sincerely, those "prizes" just got me even more pissed with this game, EA and bioware. My server is still dead, and now I need to swallow not only the fact that any "loyal" lvl 50 rusher is getting prizes, but also that any "loyal" customer who reactivates its cancelled subscription will ALSO get prizes. Meanwhile I, the idiot who is not considered "loyal", the idiot who never cancelled its subscription and the idiot who unfortunately have only not lvl 50 chars, was just left twiddling my thumbs.

My server is still completely dead, bioware. So, shove up the 1.2 patch and your prizes, and start to merge servers and offer transfers.

well said!!
