Lol, that sounds like you never played beyond lvl 15. The real fun starts around lvl 20, where you have a decent set of skills in most MMOs, and in SWTOR's case, your storyline becomes most interesting.

At Last, Free!

As anticipated, EA is opening up its portfolio for free gamers. According to a recent news feed from Reuters, EA is planning to offer at least 15 levels (from July) of its magnum opus, Star Wars: Old Republic for free to play. The company expects that this free offering will boost its dwindling subscriber base going forward. EA lost approximately 400K subscribers in the fiscal fourth quarter. EA expects to earn significant revenue from additional features and through micro-transactions by selling in-game based items.

Remember when WoW got ruined by its real money store?

Oh wait...

The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul.
Complaining is the new meta game.

Yeah, but the problem again like with LOTRO is thats what they SAID it was gonna be. "No items that have gameplay impact", but within a month all it was, was crafting materials, xp boosts, the best mounts and high level items. It completely destroyed the in game crafting economy. Real money stores are NOTHING but bad news. Mark my words and I will accept your groveling when I'm proven right

Hopefully bioware won't do it, i already pay for the subscription, i should get what i pay for, not have to pay more for additional items, yes that includes cosmetic things...

Hoping its just an untrue rumour printed by yahoo because i hate microtransactions.

You are not forced to buy them so why should it bother you....

Well, people that tried AoC when it was released know it's wrong. 1-20 in Tortage was the best.
