Late November 1999, Asheron's Call came out. A pay to play MMORPG, never went free to play and to this day is still going strong. Cost $15.บบ a month to play the game. If that game can still be going strong with subs for 13 years and counting. So can this game. I would like to get free to play taken out and the trial brought back. Instead of the trial having a level cap of 15 and credit cap of 20,000. I think a level cap of 25, plus a credit cap of 100,000 would be great. If you take a look at all of the different post we have on these forums. You can clearly see those whinny post are all from little baby kids & and imature grown ups.

Different generation / playberbase origin compared to TOR, thread is not accurate enough to make suggestions.

It is accurate. How ever point out the inaccurate part or parts. Also what does origin have to do with anything? AC is Turbine.

Asheron's Call 2 failed because it was horrible.

OP has issues accepting current reality? Some people are just not into TOR full time and will only partly contribute and partake in the game just like how some people like basketball more than baseball.

I'm getting a little tired of people with a condescending attitude to the new F2P player base. Maybe I should start treating these people like whiny brats for not owning a CE just to make a point.
CE fancypants.
