IIRC, server forums are very much on the way. They are waiting for the final server merges this fall before they set them up, is all.

That will be a godsend to RPers, as server forums are a key tool for promoting open RP and server-wide events.

Can you GUARANTEE what is said there?

Are you willing to pay everyone 500 bucks worth of cartel coins for each day that passes the 6 weeks, interval which yourself set? And are you willing to pay 5000 bucks worth of cartel coins for each patch that doesn`t deliver, as Syrrion described on page 2 of the 2nd link?

Do you believe in the product you are selling that much that you are willing to put money down?
So, can we get some guarantees? It`s not about asking the Devs or anything out of your area of expertise, Mr. Gonzalez. It is about willing to take a firm commitment on your promised actions.

Why? What is so important about a video game that it would possess someone to try backing someone else into a corner? I personally play a game because of the game itself with little concern for specifics in marketing fluff. I've been around the block too many times to hitch my wagon to it.

I read about the game during its development and watched all the teasers and trailers. It looked like fun. So based on those I signed up for beta (as I usually do for prospective games that interest me) got accepted, and have been playing ever since. Because the game is fun for me.

Getting one's panties in a wad over truth in advertising is an unnecessary stress. if it looks cool, try it. If it plays cool then keep playing it. If it doesn't play cool then play something that does. It really is that simple. Thriving on self-inflicted pain is unhealthy.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

I agree.

Considering we've heard it all before, I won't be holding my breath until this goes past just posts.

3.That's two politician mentions back to back. Look, we're trying something different and the changes will be gradual (starting with more frequent dev reponses) in the upcoming weeks. I hope that you give us a chance to prove ourselves. Rest assured, I aim to deliver.
1. There were no improvements on Friday.
2. I asked for actions, as per his own admission. Not even actions... collateral that said actions will come to fruition.
3. There is a post in here showing that they literally posted less afterwards.

Again... I asked them to deliver, by his own admission. It is only fair to put a collateral as a token of goodwill. He asked for my 15. I only asked a guarantee for my 15.

The game and its direction. It`s one thing to rest assured that tomorrow you`ll find the same game and another to find said game butchered or changed. I would have NOT started playing having been started as F2P, because I don`t have a too good opinion on F2P games. I simply want to know if they are willing to come and guarantee the game will not change TOO much. Because I really want to play this game, but I won`t pay a fortune in doing so. I believe in this game more than EA does anyway, by paying my 15. Thing is...does Bioware still believe in it?

This is the third or fourth time this has happened.

We have a couple mods come in, post in a flurry for one day... Then completely vanish. Come on devs, you said we would be getting communication. We are tired of empty promises, we want real info, we want will discourse, we want to be shown that we are respected by BioWare here.

I mean, come on, we are paying our dues. Some of us have been paying since release or even before. Many of us followed this for years. Yes, we feel like you owe us some honest discourse... Would you disagree?

they havent vanished yet
8 posts today, one introducing a new thread. Sure some days are busier than others, but what can you do? I'm impressed with the communication thus far.

It's a pity the good posts with valid points in this thread are being lost amongst immature whining and unrealistic expectations.
