Yeah that's what I thought too. Right now, I pay 12,99$ every month for SWTOR because of the 6 months subscription discount. How much does it cost exactly with the game cards?

I don't do recurring subscriptions for ANY new MMO since WoW for a simple reason: They typically haven't lasted and rarely survive the test of time.

Why buy 6 month recurring sub when the game might die out in popularity by month 4? Or what if a new game comes along and you no longer play your game but still continue to pay for those days/weeks/months you have no use for?

Also, with recurring, it is so easy to forget when ur sub is up that it charges another 6 months from you when you don't even want it.

Time cards are only $2US/per month more than 6 month subscriptions. (60 day TC = $29.99 = $14.99/month, 6 mo Sub = $77.94 = $12.99/month)

Simply put, it's because I know I and my guild will still be here in 6 months. You see, I game with a group of friends that have been together since the early days of SWG in 2004, through several MMOs including, but not limited to, SWG, EQ2, PotBS, Warhammer, Aion, RIFT, SWTOR. Every single member of my guild that started on Day One of Early Access is still here, still having a blast, still grouping, and leveling alts. Once we're done with the class stories, THEN we'll start on HMs and Ops.

So, as you can see, we still have quite a long time in this game.

Here's the post. Also has a link to the appropriate FAQ.
Your link has to do with the Asian Pacific Transfers. And since a lot of that process is done manually it is not inductive as to how the final process will be later.
The Details, it is all about the Details

Not exact, no, but it does give you a BIG clue as to BioWare's stance on it, wouldn't you think? Why are people so afraid to extrapolate these days? To use their own powers of reason?

You have a source for that statistic?

Nope and I don't need one, I wasn't trying to be factual; just bitter and sarcastic.

To the people who have no problems with their guild/server/population, then good for you. Lurk forums later when you are done having a super-awesome-fun-time!

To the majority of people in this/these type of threads who are having problems with guilds/server/pop/xfers keep voicing your frustration to BW.

Kinrath Spider population blows, it wasn't like that always, but it is crickets now. Imbalance between Republic and Imperial is well noted, and has been mentioned on these forums and/or others many times now.

Even with the 1.2 Patch and free 30 days, our server noticed a slight increase of activity and population, but has since remained the same dull, lifeless server. Rolling new alts on republic/imp on this server isn't very fun either. A character transfer is needed, but early summer is too far off the mark. I do not believe 1.3 will be enough to make me purchase more time either. BW even has stated 1.3 will be a smaller patch than those before and upcoming.

If character xfers are made available within the 50 days of my sub, I am far more likely to remain active than I would be if it were not so.
