I certainly did. I had no intentions of ever buying this game. But my experience in Beta assured me that I had wildly underestimated the game and how fun it is to play, and my experience in two successive open Beta weekends is what led to my immediate pre-order of the game.

I bought a 6 month sub hoping there is good OPvP, I was wrong and regret doing that. I actually was going to buy 12 months if there was or lifetime sub, so glad that wasn't out. wouldv'e wasted my money. Ya I regret getting 6 months.

I've unsubbed once already. I resubbed when a few RL friends needed someone to show them around, of course I could have said, it's awful, don't waste your money. I didn't, instead I thought cool I'll resub for a while. Of course they have since left.

Whether there's server transfers/mergers or not. It's not my most pressing concern. I'd like to see the design of the game veer more next Star Wars.. starting with the god awful end gear. I'll play it by ear for the mean time.

Currently playing out my time. This game follows the traditional mmo formula and that's not what I wanted from this game.

Plus I hate being dropped/CTD when I finally get around to actually playing I crash. It was stable in feb for me, anyway bioware's idea of fixing CTD is to make it Crash to the server list.....CTTSL ???

Just unsubbed for the second time, played once in the last 4 weeks.

I took the email survey and I was a bit shocked to see them asking about free to play MMO's . In my eyes it should be put up against subscriptioon based MMO's only, The fact that it was asked made me think its being discussed in the background as a possible option for this game. Might just be me being a bit paranoid!

Personally they would have to change the game a lot for me to re sub, I would prefer the zones to be less linear (or like other MMO's present it so they fool us into thinking they are not), crafting to be a viable exercise, night and day times, cross server legacies (made imps on one and rep on another before they introduced it i've 10 chars and not re rolling don't have the time or patience), a major place on every planet where people would hang out like a city or somewhere thats even imp/rep neutral seems feasible , somewhere people can just hang out, just a couple as examples most have been said before.

I still want this game to succeed, I want to come back at a later time and think I've missed out on something big and its my own fault for unsubbing, I want to be proved wrong for unsubbing and I hope I am!

Ive unsubbed. 3 characters at 50, war hero gear has made pvp stagnant and dull, no interest in end game raiding.

Biggest mistake I ever made, and the best lesson I ever learned.
I was kinda new to subscription, believed the hype over the game, and being a bargain shopper thought I would go with the 6month sub as it offered a better 'per month' deal, and I assumed I would be enjoying the game for a lot longer.

But... EU Server, Uthar Wynn.. is deader than dead. 7 people PRIME TIME on the sentire server. I have over 70 days left on my sub. I now play maybe 2hrs a week...

I unsubscribed today. I was enjoying the game but I felt an overall lack of immersion. As a single player game it succeeds, but I never once felt I was inhabiting a large universe full of unique people that represented a vast community. Maybe it was the ever constant time of day or the seemingly autonomous player characters around me (lack of chat bubbles etc) but I felt I was wandering around in a universe devoid of life, devoid of change. But I will likely return because frankly no other MMO is quite as enjoyable.

I got a 6 month sub too, or more accurately got my other half to pay for it I've played the majority of that time although I did have a months break before patch 1.2. I probably won't unsub but switch to month by month payments and see how the game develops.
