I'm going to make this brief.
With the change to the "Legacy Promotion", I will likely qualify for the 30-day bonus. I have a level 47 character, as well as multiple 20s and 30s.
Here's the rub:
Those characters are on a server that I do not play on anymore, because the population tanked. During peak hours, I was lucky to see 60 players on the fleet.
So I moved to a high-pop server and have been a happy camper ever since.
What I don't get is why BW is insisting that the promotion be tied to (experience/legacy) levels. I mean, if their true intent was to reward "loyal and valued customers", wouldn't they tie it to something like, oh, I don't know, NUMBER OF MONTHS SUBSCRIBED TO THE GAME!?!
It's not rocket science people.
As a side note, I love this game. All of the early bugs, graphical glitches, voice-over hilarity (apparently no two characters can pronounce a name the same way -- is it SEE-OH or SY-OH?), etc. just added to its charm. I knew, from past experience, that most things would get ironed out in a patch or two.
But this public relations calamity has left a bad taste in my mouth. For the first time, I am actually beginning to have doubts about the management team at Bioware.
