Wow that was fast. What a desperate cry for help. [mod edit] "I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!" |

As a Red Zoner, I stopped caring about this MMO when they gave me the Official finger. Further to their stupendous short sightedness, I presume that the free trial for "everyone" will still exclude the Red Zones. *shakes head as they watch the Zeppelin crash and burn* |

[mod edit] It just amazes me that "the customer that paid" is nowhere in anything you read about SWTOR. I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

Originally posted by TruthXHurts WoW offers 20 levels for free. Is that a desperate cry for help too? Peace is a lie, there is only passion. |

Well I only bought the game, I canceled my subscription in January. Guess I'll wait for an offer that lets me come back and try out the changes and see if my legacy name was lost on the xfer they allowed without being subbed.
The free trial is a smart move, as were the server merges. Don't worry about the trolls BW. |

Originally posted by CazNeerg Wow offered it 8 years later when they lost 2 mil subs to competition. That being said i support free trials. I think every game should do it and it shouldn't be shunned as being "fail". Even better if all mmos went freemium in style of Aion/L2 model. |

Free to play trials were not common when WoW was released. |

Originally posted by Distopia Did you ever subscribe? Because I didn't and I can't play right now. The article here and at the official site say only former SUBSCRIBERS can try the changes. |

Originally posted by CazNeerg No, you expect that for a game to do a few years after release, because it's getting old, not 6 months in. It's a sign of failure.
What happens when you log off your characters????..... |

I played when it came out. It was fun then got boring and stale when instances were looking for welfare epics. I probly will try it on a buddies pc. Not impressed with this game.
