And for all you silly people out there, I did not write this. I am simply copy and pasting what was said.

"auto34058432
I know many won't believe me. but, I work at Bioware. best part for me is coming here to read fans replies. I won't tell you much and I don't care if you believe me. So here is "what's" going on were I work.

If you havent noticed the interviews we had given sometime back had been removed. mainly, the interviews that gave it "away" that we are looking at adding F2P model. we are indeed adding free to play to the game. now the best part for me is anonymity I have that allows me to be open.
We will have mainly have a "fluff" shop for the new direction with F2P. but much of the legacy system will have the option to purchase those "perk's" (the main reason credit cost are high to slow progression until we patch F2P) as well many parts of the game will have new content that requires you purchase are type of "coinage" from the cash shop so you can buy the access to "special" content/quest. now new companions will also be in the shop. but due to us getting down sized and the staff changes a small team is working on these F2P changes.
I don't want anyone to be upset by this. but many of these changes had been in the "planning stages" for many months since the sharp drop in subscribers. many parts of the game will cost money to access. for example you can unlock the new "cathar" race in your legacy. but buying the unlock, it will cost 10$ US

So we are all pretty upset here. we know Daniel and Jimmy many more are next round of layoffs. EA blames us and to some extent they're right to. but it was fan feedback from the day we opened the forums that encouraged us to design it for the fans the way it is and that included making it more like Kotor then an MMO like Wow. Also from what I have heard in the halls, Starwars Galaxies was shut down due to the fact are talks with LA,EA suits ecouraged the new guy at LA to increase the licensing fee at renewal time. it was a move to remove any direct competiton to TOR.

Sorry guys gotta go but be good to each other."

Would they get a nice title? Would we get free access to all future content?

I read somewhere that the new race would cost $10 or something to unlock.

You will get a premium title called "founder," access to the VIP area in the fleet and access to all the premium vendors in that area

your source is a comment made by a forum member named abyssal.shaman. You can't be serious.

BTW your reply there "it might not be true but its a rumor" says everything I need to know about what kind of person you are.

What will subscribing players get when this game goes F2P?

Most likely nothing whatsoever

Only one in 1 million players would buy a new humanoid race, infact if Cathar cost $10 i will quit swtor, simple as that, and im sure im not the only one.

It will be a premium title, In silver and it will flash.... "Founder", and the vip area will have access to a gold plated speeder that will cost 1 billion credits.




I think the other vendor will have a "Nightwing" potion that can turn you into a kratedragon so you can give your friends a ride
