Stupid F2P Restrictions

Quite new to the whole MMORPG genre I assume? You should have seen some of the real death penalties from older games (and most players actually found the fact there was a death penalty added to the enjoyment as there was actually some risk involved).

UO - You died and appeared as a ghost. Resurection was possible by higher-ckilled characters or "wandering healers". Whilst a ghost you could not interact with anything. Your corpse was freely lootable, even NPC monsters would steal from your corpse. You could literally lose everything youw ere carrying.

AO - Death meant all XP earnt since the last time your "saved your character" was lost. At later levels you could lose 3-4hrs of play if you were out in the wilderness and didn't want to make the treck back to a town to save and things just "went wrong".

Games of the past are littered with an actual death penalty. You know TOR got it wrong when dying is an actual tactic used by people to get past a point in the game or complete a section.

did I miss something? when did they make it offical that you will be able to get coins without paying?

1. character re-customization has been mentioned numerous times in the suggestion box and i'm sure BW saw it and has it on a 'to-do-list'
2. no vanity gear? there's a bunch of pets, a bunch of speeders, orange sets and legacy gear can be seen as vanity items too as they give u a custom clothing look, and i'm sure the cartel shop will bring us more vanity items so us subscribers can spend our cartel coins (this was even mentioned by a dev somewhere)
3. You may find the legacy perks useless, but i myself love numerous of the perks, for my main aswel as for my alts
4. I haven't got any problems with the queues, not for WZs, nor for FPs, and i queue with healer, tank and dps chars.. dps may take a bit longer, but that's the same in that other mmo
5. I haven't encountered that many bugs and glitches lately, well, no gamebreaking ones, maybe i'm just lucky, maybe i cope better with said issues, but the ones i had problems with got fixed or are announced to be worked on. best advice i can give is do an ingame bugreport, goes faster then a complaint on the forums.
6. give me one other big mmo where you don't run around on big maps. more then half of my played time on my wow char is from running around.. and tbh, i wouldn't call the maps empty, i leveled 2 more alts the last month, and i encountered a lot more people, not only on starterplanets (which had 150+ people on it most of the time) but also the later planets (50+ on Voss, and enough people of opposing faction to kill while questing), so i wouldn't call them empty, but ye, since the maps are big, the chance of not encountering someone for 10 minutes is possible.

the only official thing i heard is that subscribers get cartel coins every month, and people in the free to play option have to buy them.

yeah that's what I am thinking as well. not that I would .mind. a way to get them in-game; I just don't think it's going to happen... so that claim kinda surprised me.

If you hover over the last option, item equipping it says the same as Free to play i hope this is a mistake, there's no way I'm paying coins to equip purple items!

I hope they reduce the cool downs on quick travel a lot as there not really needed anyway. Whats the point in limiting how fast we get to an area makes nonsense, they want us to play the game but want us to travel slow?

seeing as it sais the same as the f2p option on hover but for subscribers it sais full access i think it's just a mistake, else full access wouldn't be correct

Why are you complaining OP? You pay a sub you get access to all game. You don`t.. well... you get what you get.

When people were saying nothing is ever free, it got lost in the mix. Now you get what you asked for. Enjoy...

I love how some people want to play the game for free and still retain most (if not all) the current features.

More subtle restriction would get them a bit more love that's for sure. Like unlimited WZs and FP up to lvl 49 and on lvl 50 limit it to 3.
