Thanks Bioware!


Now that we're past the thanks, lets get all the haters out of here. I grow tired of all the crying and whining I see from people that don't have a payed subscription to this game.

Thanks again Bioware!

Bioware - This game really feels like a true labor of love. You guys took some huge chances with this game - basically betting the company on it.

for me and my wife and my guildies - you hit a home run and we will be there with yall - money in hand

I see this as a thank you rather than an incentive item to get people to keep playing. I consider blizz giving away d3 and sparkly mounts an incentive to not quit or get people to reactivate their accounts. If bw were to tack on pets or mounts then I'd say it was more along the lines of getting people to stay put. So...thanks BW. And that is not a sarcastic thanks.

Thank you for the free title. Shouldn't this thread be stickied?

The medal was in the works long before the game launched, perhaps even before a segment of Beta began.

It is a thank-you for staying with SW:TOR beyond the "free" 30 days included with the box purchase, since historically certain groups of people race to maximum level in a game and then quit, regardless of how good the game might be.

This has NOTHING to do with PvP, although players with a myopic PvP-centric view of the universe will rage at the heavens, like King Lear.

Enjoy this perk for what it is: a thank-you from the Devs for loyally staying with the game and supporting the efforts for which they have given *years* of their lives!
Look at your forum join date, now look at mine. I started following this game (and all the hype) long before the people who just casually bought the game.
They didnt give me a thank-you for my fanboism and dedication, they wanna give me a "reward" because I have a wallet.

I already stated that i will continue to play the game because my friends are playing it and I appreciate a sincere thank you, but this is pure marketing.

I dont need a title I need a game that I can play and enjoy.

Seriously, BW could send them all bricks of gold and they would complain that gold is too heavy.

World of Tanks, for example, recently gave a free premium tank to every active account (which is free to begin with) for the New Year. People flocked to the forums to complain about the free tank they were getting.

Such behavior would be amusing if it weren't for the nauseating level of cultural entitlement it represents. (Clarification: By "amusing," I mean like watching a not-very-bright dog chase his tail for hours on end.)

hehehe. Ill pass. Im gonna step back since I never play a mmo at launch because of the lack of features and massive bugs and influx of morons that usually come with it. This game was special and made an exception and do not fully regret it. But I will go back to skyrim, Evochron, Eve-online, Batman, and diablo 3 when it comes out very soon.

So work on a real space combat and exploration expansion and I promiss I will buy it and subscribe. Also stop forcing group play on people. Any heroic+2 or +4 quest should be identified differently on a npc so that solo players like myself wont even waste 1 second of there life. Because we simply abandon the quest once the dialog is over. So heads up would be nice to avoid the waste in time. And last but not least make it that I can fil la group with my companions if ever i want to try a group instance and dont want to group with ******* i found in a pug. Not that everyone are ******* do not get me wrong I did find great people I grouped with. But sometimes You group with someone and someting unexpected like life gets in the way and you must quite the game quick and let down all these great people. Would be nice that the 3 other are your companions who wont bother much if you drop out and come back later.

So fix the game right up and ill be back in a few months. Oh also, would be great if your help the guys at wine to get this working in wine. Would have played much more then I was if it did. Its use to but one day something in an update broke it and now you can only play in winblows and not wine which runs on linux which is the only OS i can run on this computer where im posting from.

See you then
