Bioware decides to make SWTOR free to play...

Maybe the Blizz CEO wasn't being resentful when he scoffed at SWTOR's projected impact, and said EA would never make money off the game.

Their "source" is a comment from another site's article. Because just reporting on somebody else's report wasn't quite pathetic enough for gaming "journalism" anymore.

Where is the link/proof?

Either way don't care I will still play. So many doomsayers these days, if you don't like easy stop playing...

Exactly.

I thought it was funny that Blizzard was shaking in it's boots when TOR was released. It obviously didn't have the impact that their doomsayers predicted but they still have their eye on it's progress. So they don't see it as a threat at the present time, but could potentially if Bioware plays it's cards right in patches/ expansions.

So in other words, yet another pointless doom/naysayer thread by some random nobody who's just mad about feeling "cheated" out of money despite anyone who's been playing MMO's at all should know that new MMO's tend to be somewhat lacking when first released, particularly in a market this overinflated.

Nothing more to see here folks.

PS: Hey OP, no ones forcing you to stay subscribed, please by all means quit and see if anyone misses you at all.

2 months ago people were really missing the 500 thousand people who took your advice. Do you really want to keep going down that road until there are 300 people left? I dont agree with the OP's rants in various threads, but everything we are seeing across the forums and in-game general chats is a result of a complete and utter lack of a community team, worthless Q and A, lack of substantial updates with repeatable non-grinding content. Constructive criticism you say? Guild ships you earn by leveling up a guild and gathering resources and high level crafters, mini-games like Sabaac, Pazaak and swoop racing with customizable swoops and pazaak decks, a true Open World PVP experience with benefits for victory and defense, like a form of castle conquering/defending gameplay that doesnt lag like Launch ilum, and more social activities.

Those items should be a PRIORITY for bioware because they offer repeatable content that is genuinly replayable and can hold over people for longer periods and even form the basis for communities that keep people in this game for YEARS. Continuing the treadmill of raids and "story content" is a path for failure, and should only be done AFTER and in ADDITION to the repeatable and social content. Customer service is also severely lacking in this game.

Until bioware gets its act together, COMMUNICATES with its players and releases some better repeatable content in order to retain players, it is going to continue rapidly bleeding subs.

No!!!

:/

iv`e already figured this...there are only two possibilitys and no others

1.this is not true and thus boring,more trolls....where is my energy drink?

2.this actually is true (though i doubt the date a little).....abunch of anti f2p people will unsub....it will be cold for awhile....then it will rubberband back with the force of a hydrogen bomb....and the ones who stick to the game even when they implement f2p...will basically be kings of a pretty messed up world....then the rebuilding starts...7 years on down the road,ill be 30 years old by that point (few months from 23 atm)...so ill be a mildly old person telling people enjoying the lavish features how messed up it was in the early days

You really think with Bioware's current history of patches and updates they will ever get their act right. The game should be stable by now, and it is having heaps of network issues. Content is very light, especially once you reach level 50.....so I am not counting on them getting it right.
