When are people going to understand its not that they view the person playing a level 50 charecter as more valuable, the charecter themselves is what is of value. A level 50 charecter playing endgame content and playing pvp, is testing all facauts of the game and have been troubled with more glitches and errors t hen one who has not played 50 content. Its basicly a reward and an apology for the issues that have riddeled those people. See the big picture people. And you were paying yesterday, and now today you're mad? Psh, what have you done to help the game if you never bother to test the end game content? The story mode? Guess what... they had plenty of beta players that did that for months.

Wow. I've been playing since the test servers, and I don't have a lv-50. Partly because I had serious issues in the beginning with my older laptop; finally managed to buy some RAM which helped tremendously, but it took a while - for several weeks I had to use my husband's computer, and could only do it while he was at work.

Also, I have several alts, and jump from one to the other depending on my mood, and I haven't rushed through the game just to hit level 50. Also, several times I was held up by bugs, especially with my smugglers (which customer service never did respond to).

My husband and I both have the Grand Deluxe Ultra Mega-Poobah edition of the game - but we're not "valued" enough to get that free month? Sure, it's $30, but that's thirty bucks, folks. When you're struggling to pay rent and buy groceries and gas when prices keep skyrocketing, that's a rather significant amount for folks like us.

I'm definitely not enchanted by Bioware's singling out level 50 players; obviously, few people are. I hope that they rethink this tactic and amend it.

Then we can end the qq and they can go back to being complete idiots who obviously did not receive an email so have not read firsthand what you actually said, only what they were told. Thanks for the free month and i appreciate you loving me more than these scrubs.

But seriously the email stated " you are one of our most active and valued HIGH LEVEL players" Nowhere did it state that other players were not valued. This is an email sent to be read by those receiving it, so why would they not take liberty with how they worded it? I mean your all the same idiots who eavesdrop on a conversation taken in private and getting butthurt about it when it has nothing to do with you!

They wrote it to the player receiving it not as a media release, your all crybaby ******es that should be ashamed of yourselves. Unless they released this somewhere else then you have no legitimate reason using the loyalty card in these posts. If you want to be mad that you didnt receive a free month then sure say that your angry that you didnt get a freebie( you get a pet btw regardless) but do not act like they came out and slapped you and said you were not as loyal. THEY SENT AN EMAIL NOT A PRESS RELEASE GET OVER IT!
its written on the front page, along with people quoting from their own emails in this thread, read back a few pages maybe? and since its in an announcement, we can all read it freely, how are we eavesdropping?

maybe you should open your eyes, read around a bit, then comment. after you take both feet out of your mouth of course

thanks for coming out though, and do feel free to keep playing :P

I never said anything of the sort. In a former post on this thread (page 103 I think), I stated it was possible for someone to reach level 50 not even a month after subscription. I didn't say anything about all of them being that way since I know this isn't the case.

What I am complaining about though is not being permitted the same "Thank you" for having been a customer who's enjoyed the game since the release date and taken my time with each of my characters and moving to another one when I feel I want to experience a different storyline.

Level should not be an indicator of the value of the customer, and that is the real debate here. Its not even about the free-be, I plan to continue my subscription regardless. Its about how Bioware, or whatever hand is behind this, doesn't understand what makes a valued customer.

Agreed...have 5 characters with highest 46. I'm sure some EA executive is at the head of this mess

Between this disrespectful crap and your disastrous deployment of patch 1.2 you are begging me to cancel my subscription. A free month of game time should be given to every player that has had an active subscription since launch, not just accounts with level 50s.
Your own fault for not taking an extra week to finish the story, if you walk out near the end of a movie then don't complain you didn't see the ending. And especially don't blame your wife and kid, I have been playing with a guy who has a 2 week year old son and can still make it to 50, this is not a reason, it's an exscuse.

Putting my two cents in as well.

I am happy to see Bioware rewarding players, but don't think it's fair to give the free 30 day sub to just the 50s. If they are going to limit the reward by not giving it to everyone, they should at least look at overall play hours. I imagine there are a lot of alt-o-holics out there who have far more play hours between all of their toons than many of those players that have reached level 50.

"And another thing..."

If Bioware is going to reward loyalty then wouldn't it make even more sense to look at length of time a subscription has been live and in good standing? What about those that preordered, beta tested, bought the CE, were actively following the game for years during development?

*Facepalm* Again with the EA bashing, if only you knew how much Bioware hate EA you would not make that uneducated comment.

I have a level 46, a level 39, a level 34, a level 32, a level 29, and a level 22, and a level 12

I don’t have a problem with them giving 30 days away to folks with a 50 toon

all the updates that were aimed at the characters of my levels have worked just fine, I understand some of the updates for the 50's didn’t get implemented, so I understand the compensation, nothing was ‘taken away” from me.

Still not sure why I am supposed to be pissed.
I have a bad feeling about this
