SW:TOR Going F2P Soon?

[Kicksome]

Ugh - have to wait till "Fall" to get the F2P deal.

Right now you can do a trial to level 15, (www.swtor.com/trial/) they claim that trials will convert to F2P when it comes out.

That article MiRai linked says "EA President Frank Gibeau revealed that SWTOR subs have dipped below one million but are still "well above" half a million."

They sold over 2 million copies of the game.

I personally love the game. It's only my second MMO. The first was DAOC around 10 years ago for about 6 months. This one has sucked me in completely. Which is why I started 4 boxing after playing for only a month.

I hope that subs go up or they can at least maintain the current numbers.

I think it will do well.. Its better than SWG ever was, and that game held players to the end. For me it was just too young, not enough content and features for my taste. As it adds features and content, I might revisit it in the future.. I loved the leveling and the companions.

They fired their entire QA staff. PvP, Endgame, Feature, Tools. All of them. The day they let us go we were testing the new raid Asation, and 4 out of the 5 encounters were unplayable without god mode on. They lost some of their best designers and writers too.

I hope they do well, but the state they are in now, anything past 1.4 will be utter crap. (1.5 and xpac are allready in development). They are going from a premium theme park MMO to EA's jewish bucket in the closet.

All endgame content in star wars was utter crap imo, The storyline was fantastic though.

I agree about the first tier. But D:EC was pretty fun, and the nightmare mode coming out is fucking insanely hard. And A:TFB is actually pretty good. But KP and EV were just poosicles

Ahh yea, I stopped just as 1.2 was coming out.

I read a couple of days ago that it was going to a free to play with micro transaction store.

Yeah.... I'm pretty sure that I read something in the F2P article that said we will be coming out with content faster...

Doest seem feasible with only 10% of the staff they had. I wonder if they would have had more success if they just waited until after MOP and D3 came out to release the game.

Btw, Crum - It's really shitty that they fired your team. I was excited to have a boxer on the inside.
