So basically it looks like today the SWTOR main site unveiled the Cartel Coin ledger where you can check to see how many coins you have banked up so far. Just curious to see if anyone actually has looked yet. Seems like the game and site have been down a lot more than often so don't even know if people have had access to it yet.
They have been having set amounts but haven't really talked about the conversion rate yet so no way to tell if the coins people are getting now will be a decent amount or not so great.
I have recently went back to the game to do the stories. It doesn't really seem like they will cough up all that VA money again but still hoping they expand upon it in a way. If they do it would probably be sold as "Adventure Packs" or something to that effect. Maybe thy will do the same with the earlier events they had this year as well since I am sure the majority of the total playerbase missed them from not being active or what not.

It says that if I become a subscriber I get 850. I'm not sure I'm "excited" but if I can use my old characters then I'll jump back in for a bit. |

1600 if I was to subscribe. So the only way to get the coins is to resub before it goes F2P, or am I missing something?

It says 1150 coins if I resubscribe before it goes free to play. Not a chance in the world, they can keep their cartell coint. This is what I thought was going to happen yes you get cartell coins for buying the game and playing it, but you have to resuscribe today to get those coins. So now we now that the faq was wrong and the email a week or so back was right.

The way it is described to you guys, it almost seems like an upjumped version of the "Please we are begging you to come back" e-mails they recently sent out. Dangling the virtual carrot if you resub.
On a side note I am subscribed and the page that would have this info is still down for me. Thanks for the info though. Interesting to see how they are handling this.
As for the coins, I am sure they will be available after F2P, just EA trying word games to get an extra 15 dollars out of people for October. |

Not excited but happier. I will get to play the other faction from 1-50 for free and see what the 1k CC from CE gets me.

I'll try it. Excited for it is probably a grand overstatement for my interest in SWTOR. Still I am curious and figure it's at least worth downloading.

Will the game suddenly stop being a singleplayer online game with a recycled Empire Strikes back storyline?

Did they mention what items the coins can be used on? And how much the items cost? 1000 coins might actually be completely useless if it can't buy anything.

Gotta say, good on Bioware for making good on past subscriptions and such. Good thing I bought the CE for $50 a few months ago.

Very Excited here as it will be the beginning of the end.. Not a Hater of the game as it would seem that i am. Thats not true I want this game to succeed, but not a fan of and I am tired of poorly managed, poorly executed updates, arrogant game studios with very bad habits such as not even having a real PTS.. So in the end and even as a huge Star Wars fan if this game, Bioware, EA have to die for the greater good... So be it! They say FTP is the future of gaming.. Imo thats poor quality and unoriginal games that are simply pathetic cash grabs, while I think whoever figures out that its quality and originality that should be the real future of gaming will be greatly rewarded. I would galdly pay $40 or more a month for a good quality game that I get Imersed in as I already drop CCP close to a $100 every month when I play. too lazy to grind that many ETCs lol.. As for the white knights saying I had unrealistic expectations.. I didn't care if it was a Sand Box, Theme Park, Hybrid, Story co-op RPG. I just wanted a Star Wars game that worked and have some clear direction. Not some game that gets worse with every update and basically a game that is riddled with contradictions around every system or development path.
