Well I agree something isn't right. I bought the box with pre-order, and only if I am happy after the "free" (quotes because we know free is nothing) month that was included with the game, I might buy gamecards. But my account is locked, and the only way to unlock is give them my creditcard or buy a gamecard now. Why should I buy a gamecard if I want to use my free month? I shouldn't be forced to buy an extra month if I wanted to use the first month. |

Seriously? This again? Damn, some of you mmo players are some cheap bastards. /takes bait Shoot, I was doing so well too. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

How difficult is it to set up a Paypal account with your debit card? takes few seconds. All that time you spent typing this you could be subbed by now. They won't charge you anything till end of the month so what is the issue?

¨indeed, I also have a vacation and not allot of free time, this is my vacation, to stare at a terrible blue swtor site and watch as my IP is blocked in a loop, been here for near 5 hours now, with in the frame of law they have it 100% ofc, but ethical no, its disgusting and wrong.
If you stay at a Hotel, you pay when you leave, if the Hotel messed up, you get discount, if they fucked up royal, you pay nothing, if they fucked up the booking and have no room for you, Hotel is forced to find an equal or better place and pay the traveling cost to get there.
Where is my equal or better place to stay now ? I'm standing infront of the Hotel, that I pre forked cash into and payed full price for the stay now the Hotel staff have an angry mob out site in the freezing cold and they dont give a shit and will not offer guests to stay at another equal or better place, -they'll just let you sleep out site in the bitter frost and die for all they care, Oops not until they get your credit card info so they can charge your frozen corpse thrown in the dumpster 30 day's later.
This MMO industry is terrible vs Hotel/Restaurant industry
I guess its for the fact the MMO industry is only a few years old and most of the cliantel are kids who do not know any better.
been in the Hotel Industry now for 15 years, its the little mistakes that separate soon to be hostels and respectful Hotels who price top dollar and 100% of the time offer what is expected of them, if we make one tiniest of mistakes you'll get a free night, free food, free stay or we will simply drive you to an equal or better hotel at our cost, then we will humbly ask forgiveness and back track with the tail between our legs.
but this MMO industry is in its infacny much like its cliantel who accepts to be shit on and been made to look like a fool and we pay actual money for this.

Having to enter the credit card info wasn't a problem for me, but they also stipulated I had to crate up the wife and mail her to the Bioware Austin offices. OK they DIDN'T actually say that, but hey my cunning ruse got her out of my hair for the holidays.
To the OP, adding your credit card info when you create your account is standard operating proceedure for any MMO. They didn't have you do this until the 20th because they gave preoders a grace period. Its been that way for over ten years. Why this comes as a shock to you I do not understand.

The people qq about this must be the people who have only played F2P, they should do a little investigation before they start their whining. |

Originally posted by Lidane If you look at my profile and date joined you might conclude that I have been playing MMO's for a long time. It's kind of ignorant to keep pointing that it's common practice and that everyone complaining has the IQ of a cucumber. It's not common practice. I have been part of MMO's as a consumer since I got broadband Internet, which is in 2000. I bought the game checking that gamecards will be a valid payment option. Now instead of pointing out how inexperienced I am, and everyone else complaining as well... tell me why am I forced to buy a gamecard now to use my free month? THAT is not common practice as well, and it will not hold up in a court of law. |

Originally posted by CityHam Rofl, you truly have no clue why he said that, but needless to say this response here proves you have zero argument, and yes flailing around trying to put someone down with info that has zero basis in reality and is all in your head is having no argument. Originally posted by AzzkickaMaybe i'll be bored with the game in 30 days and wont want to play it anymore and then i'll just have to cancel this sub. Oh no! then youll have to go to a webpage and push a button! oh teh humanity! really how lazy can you be? Heres a hint, this is how pretty much every mmo does it, please, PLEASe spend money on a lawyer for this so we can laugh our asses off when you reaslise you have no case.

There's plenty of precedent, anyway. Hotel rooms, for example. -Nearly every single bad trend in MMO development was started by the developers.--Wordiz |
