I agree with what he said. What he said is on topic because he is explaining why you arent getting it anytime soon....Money.
James Ohlen: " For 2012 we really want players to feel like they're getting their money's worth. You're going to see so many changes and additions to the Star Wars Universe. It's going to be impressive. We have our Update 1.2 coming in the next week and then after that it's going to continue to roll out month after month. It's exciting."

No, he was explaining why there isnt any story updates and why there wont be any time soon. Its called Money. It takes money to create content. They get that money from our subs. They dont have enough subs to earn said money. Something that you fail to understand.

Also, did you miss the memo, story is the main drawing point for SWTOR.
You seem to be the one who missed the memo. I can't tell whether you're trolling, or simply just blind to this game.

The F2P option would be much cheaper for you. I dont mean that as an slander/insult or anything like that.

I know you don't. I don't know, it depends how much they charge for character slots and if I can switch between the characters I have or not, also I don't want to lose the ability to Quick Travel.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

Best option would be to sub until F2P to get all the free coins possible. Look in the cash shop and see how much everything you want costs. Id imagine that extra slots will probably be about 3 bucks a slot.

Not sure where you get that. The class stories haven't been touched since launch, nor have any world stories been added for that matter. Other aspects of the game have been added (fps, ops, wzs), but story has not. That's not to say that the other elements shouldn't be improved and added to. They're part and parcel of what a mmo is, but story and the immersive way it's presented has been been one of the, arguably biggest, selling points of this game.
aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

I wonder if it would be a one time purchase, I know it always has been but I don't know what kind of crap BEAware is going to pull.

Your wrong, they cant only make solo content players play up in 1 day. 100 times better making good group content.
And this is a team game not solo game,just because some of you enjoy only solo content the multiplayer part is the only way to go.There is alot of raiders and pvp players who enjoy doing group content.And they will take group content over solo content any day.

Too bad its biggest sell point, being the Story, is like a double-edged sword.
