The question of the month: Will you keep your subscription up? and why?

yep why not ? nothing better on the market today, even with the the mistakes Bioware is making, the game still out shines the old and tired games on the market today.

Yes because playing the game is fun. I'm a perfectionist in RL because my job says I have to be. Video games? Not a priority unless it is horrible to play or is utterly monotonous (think STO.) This game is neither. The new UI made a world of difference for my combat effectiveness and I haven't even had a chance to fully explore end game, the Legacy system or PvP yet - still gearing up for HMs. As a 20 hr/week player there's more than enough to keep me entertained and coming back, and the in-game community is great.

Unsubbed last night.

The changes in 1.2 were nice. The changes to PvE healing for sorc (my main) was not. I'm all for changing around classes and all that, but to make my char the worst healer in the game is a bit much.

Even with this in mind, I could keep playing if I found the game to be fun ... but I don't anymore. Collecting twenty different types of commendations, running dailies, etc - isn't fun. Getting smashed in PVP as a sorc healer isn't fun and isn't rewarding.

The only fun I had in this game was with the operations. Now that my class is a liability to the other healers, I've lost the drive to keep playing.

Till next time Bioware.

Already unsubbed, bought a 6 - month sub as I give every new game that long at launch, it runs out in July & it remains to be seen if 1.2 has enough in it to hold my interest until 1.3 which will be the deciding factor in my resubbing.

I enjoy the game, so I'll keep playing.

If there's anything I'd rate as a concern it'd be the bugs and the non-existent regression testing.

That's not enough to make me stop playing though as things are mostly improving.

Besides, as people like to forget even the 500-pound gorilla of the MMO genre were very buggy under the first part of its existence.

the 1.2 pvp changes have effected my game considerably
right now im thinking whether i should renew or not

Yup. Right there. I dropped my subscription down to monthly. Going to give them a few patches to see if they realize what kind of mistake they've made. I don't have much faith though, given some manager made this decision, and the fact that he/she is most likely a no talent bum who can't afford to admit a mistake. So corporations go nowadays. Read Atlas Shrugged, the looters are truly in charge now.

Is Guild Wars 2 out yet?

I'm going to have to unsub.

All the players that we got together for rateds have already pre-purchased GW2 and have unsubbed themselves. Come Sunday, I'll be a very lonely person in SWTOR.

I am still having fun with the game. I have all 8 slots filled with one each of the class types. I really enjoy the class story lines of the characters, so there is still plenty to do in game as far as I am concerned. I sub for 3 months at a time and plan to continue to do so. There is no other game out that has this type of story line and while the other quests are repetitive the class quests are new and I haven't gotten all 8 classes to 50 yet, although I have 2 there and a couple others in the 40s.

Sure the end game is somewhat lacking and they are making a few mistakes along the way. Point to any other MMO that didn't have a lack of end game content 4 months after release, didn't make mistakes along the way and didn't have repetitive type quests in game. Just one example is all I ask from all the QQ crowd. Then point to one MMO that has the VO/cut away feel of a stand alone PC game. Best of both worlds and it's Star Wars ffs.

let's see,
reasons why i canceled my account and why i don't want to reactivate it.

1. No actual pvp on this game. i joined a pvp server and since lvl25 or so till 50lvl i killed 15-20 people only. large areas in planets, empty with 10 people only around.
2. warzones are consider to be a farming gear terrain. too repeatable, the new wz map is a cornfield with rocks and you need to stand in front of a monitor to capture 2 points oO nothing unique there.
3. This game is a pve game, but the servers are empty 2 months now i can't find people to play a FP
4. Rerolled other classes, done that, great storyline but i was pressing space button most of the times just to get 50lvl faster.
5. The legacy system is just a "fashional" feature doesn't improve the gameplay or it's fixes the existing problems.
5. No open world pvp , no reps vs imps fights anywhere. no fortresses, no sieges, no war!
this is not the old republic trailer concept of war.

Conclusions,
they chose to add pets and "silk furs lipsticks" etc etc fashion stuff useless to our problems mentioned thousands of times in forums.
they do not merge servers which is a more important issue than launching legacy system.
they do not have a pvp plan
they do not have an good art design team to create something nice and SW themed.
they did not launch Ranked pvp.
they added more crafting items but guess what, weapons still need biometric crystal alloy which is only gathered at FP where we can't play ( low population)
They did not add a LFG tool that will help us find groups to play.

i can think of more things to complain but i think those are enough.
a person with a basic understanding will conclude that those reasons are enough to cancel his account.
