2 Free month that you didnt pay = Equal 15$x2= 30$ = 2800 cartel coins?
Could be worse at least they dont make people pay for content patch, SoE style like with DCUO. -_-
Pay for subs + Buying content patch every 4 months.. urg

NGE did ruin the game and yes i still played it, Why? because there was nothing else compared to it, and believe me i tried to have fun in other mmos but they were just crap.
Another reason is that there wasnt another Star wars mmo, and even now swg imo is still better then tor because of the sandbox environment.

But ill see what this f2p brings us, my coins are reserved for serial awesome super cool mega brilliant rad stuff.

More player and more trolls, but more people is a good thing.

But what are we talking about price wise with the new shop stuff staying subscribed so mainly interesting in the trinkets.

Also planning on starting a new char the day things go free just to get a feel for the types coming in

Gratz on the biggest fail in the history of gaming industry. You marked your place there EA.

I don't know if free-to-play is the future of the industry but i know one thing for certain. Your game was so poorly executed it should be taken out of the equation.

Bye, I'm off to play games made by companies who have balls & skills.

According to DarthHater, they had a conference call and 1.5 will also be released on the 15th. They also said 500 CC is for monthly and more for people who do Tri-Monthly and 6 month subs. The didn't specify amounts though. You should check out the site.

On another note: \o/ Hk-51 can't wait, first thing I am doing is getting him, then going to Hutta on my level 50 to welcome newbies.

Thats perfectly adequte pricing, assuming they dont charge hazardous amounts of cartel coins for the stuff.

Will the Refer a Freind Mount be adaaptive like the rest of the incomming speeder changes or will it stay the same?

I have seen a lot of questions asked in regards to this subject and was wondering if there is any insight about it as I have seen a lot of them go unanswered.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
