I have a 6 month. I unsubbed about 6-8 weeks ago.

1.3 and the transfers really need to work some magic in order for me to resub. I want to like this game, but its not just working out that way.

The 6 month was not a bad deal. With all the extra free time added, people who had a 6 month sub does not run out till around August.

My account has been unsubbed for a good month now. Log in once a week to clear OPs.

I too got 6 months which was a huge mistake. I knew it was EA who was publisher and BW always knew how to tell a good story but severly lacked deep knowledge of how to make good game mechanics, less how to get a huge community like Battle.net going on, because of EA breathing down their necks not relasing sufficient patches for any of their games. ME2 is an excellent example of how disasterous game mechanics are, specially the unskipable long intro.

The undoing was i the cards even before the beta, and only more clear whe beta went public, sure fanbois refuses to see reality, but create their own idyllic vision of the grim dire reality.

ToR will go F2P thanks to EA the MMO train-wrecker.

Thought about un-subscribing in April, but then they offered a free month if I payed for one more month which was a good deal. So I took them up on their offer and rather enjoyed leveling an Imperial character which I had not done yet, but the reasons for wanting to un-subscribe in April are still there. And with the good weather, European Football Championships/Olympics coming up I decided to not renew my subscription and as I rarely return to games I doubt I'll be back.

I think they've given me free game time at some point but I didn't and don't expect it. It's 15 bucks a month to play this game which is less than it costs to go see a movie and buy popcorn.

These forums are a great example of why the economies of the world are in crisis. Almost everyone wants everything for free and feels entitled to it.

I wonder if anyone has thought maybe the decrease in subs might be related to the fact we're in a global recession and countries are going bankrupt.... If you don't have a job you can't buy a sub.

I'm off to read the next Chicken Little thread.

If you liked beta then of course you will purchase it. Same thing as playing a demo first. In music, you listen to a artists first few singles before you purchase their entire album. Soooo... "Can you really judge a game based on beta testing it?" Yes I can.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.

you realize that the beta test was not to play the game to determine if you wanted to buy it or not..it was to test it for bugs..

maybe if more people actually tested the game instead of tried to power through as much as they could have we might have less problems with bugs:P

yes i know lots were reported and many were ignored by devs.. not exucsing them.. they need to fix them and should have listened. .b ut posts like yours make me wonder who exactly was testing, and not trying the game out..
