*checks emails, finds nothing.

Where was this 'announcement' 8 days in advance? On the forums?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean here but if they re-rolled on another server, they are likely doing the story again and are seeing the rest of it?

Correct me if I misunderstood, please.

do you have a degree in law? do you enjoy driving your race car around the track every race meet? are you a professional footballer (insert any code)? have you played in the world cup (insert any sport) recently? have you written your own game/mmo/anything? do you have 9 million copies of your book sold worldwide?

get the idea yet?

everyone has differnet goals and focuses in life, and the ability to achieve them. for everyone saying its inconceivable for someone to not have a level 50 having been subbed since december i ask again, where is your degree? your family? your career? and if those do apply, how much do they actually affect your gaming time? and compare that to your unemployed single neighbour, hes got more time i bet.

everyones time is used in different fashions. one character to 50, then unsubscribed is one way. 2 or more to 50 and still playing is another. 10 characters all under 50 is another.

the issue for most, to reiterate yet again for the trolls, isnt that the 30 days isnt being given to those who have been here since before day 1, its the fact that they are considered non loyal and active members of the game.

compare maybe the hours you have put into 1 level 50, versus the guy who has 10 characters sitting at 40 each. who has put more time into the game?

bioware went assabout with the way they announced this, and snubbed a fairly decent part of their community by calling those of us who have put considerable time and effort into the game, but not max levelled, non loyal and non active. and the trolls lap it up and point out how awesome they are, while again, if they didnt get this 30 days they would also feel slighted.

insult us at your leisure bioware, trolls, simple minded folk. one day you too will be subjected to similar circumstances, and some other fool will eat at your frustration, and i doubt you will even see the irony

It's not funny Bioware! I've bought CE, playing since launch (and beta) but got my first 50 TODAY. So I'm late like 24h! You should give people some warning or a couple of days time to those who don't care about max levels.

So at the moment it was better to not subscribe and come back after 1.2 to get 7 days free. I think I belong to the loyal players you say about but surely don't feel rewarded. And I'm still waiting for the full hi-res textures.
I don't have friends but I really want those pets -> referral link (you get free stuff too!)

Again, read some of my posts. The reasoning is irrational, but then human is a rationalizing animal, not rational.

Initially I was irritated that I was 8 levels shy of this freebie, but then I thought about it.

Yesterday I didn't have a free 30 day sub. Today I don't have a free 30 day sub. It seems silly to get worked up because something I wasn't expecting didn't happen.

People gonna complain, its not hard to achieve level 50. It took me total 14 days in-game time to achieve my first level 50. Don't be mad that Bioware game free 30 days to the people who decided to play the game more than you did. I don't consider subbing since day one loyal. Playing the game to at least a level 50 is reasonable. If you couldn't achieve a level 50 in 4 months then there is something definitely wrong.

Exhibit A: College student, 15 credit hours, no extracuricular activities, average social life. B+/A- student. Plays 4-6 hours a day and has 3 level 50s as of now.

Exhibit B: Married couple with kids. Play together whenever they can aside from other obligations. They want to level together so can only play when both are free. Both end up at level 47 as of now.

Exhibit C: Super Star Wars Nerd Guy who works overtime shifts on 2 different jobs just to get by and pay the rent levels up to 48 on a dead/dying server. Decides to reroll. Gets up to level 49 by now.

Exhibit D: An alt-aholic who has been around since the very first days of beta levels up 9 different characters to level 30-49 level range. No level 50 as of now.

Exhibit E: Your standard typical MMO player who plays regularly and has 1 or 2 level 50s.

Exhibit F: Your lunatic MMO-nut who plays 10 hours a day and has multiple level 50s and is also a major jack*** on the forums and during the game (ninjas, trash talks, etc.).

Who are the most loyal of these bunch? I would never presume to judge anyone. Yet Bioware did. Bioware thinks A, E and F are "loyal" and "most valuable." B, C and D are the scraps.

How can anyone NOT have a problem with this? Really?
Because they set the free month. We were not entitled to anything. If this were Blizzard we would got MAYBE one free day due to the down time. It's 16 bucks does that mean so much to people its worth the time to complain in this amount of detail.


To the people who didn't get it. You had half a year to level one 50. In early release the boost to exp in warzones was crazy silly. I don't understand how anyone could not have at least 50 at one point.
