Pirates of the Burning Sea

I didn't play SWG, and I don't have a problem with the company. I haven't had any negative experiences with them out of the two games I played for about a year each (EQOA and EQ2). EQ2 was very poorly received at launch, and they used feedback to reshape it into a pretty good game. I think a lot of people are cheating themselves by holding grudges and refusing to play SOE games.

Based on SOE not cancelling subs when i cancelled them, twice now; from personal experience, i'd have to not agree with your post, from a purely financial/trust perspective; much less from a "list of games soe has dorked over" viewpoint.

At one point they hid the cancel button, you had to go do some surfing to find the fricking button.

Man I had the same problem 3 years ago, and so did a few of my SWG friends, when you pay with a CC then later cancel it, it didn't actually end the subscription for some reason and to fix it you either had to call SOE, remove whatever CC info you had in the station or call the CC co. to block SOE. One of my friends went on to play WoW and 3 months later found out he was charged for SWG when he hasn't played in months, same goes for another friend that paid by 6-months and was shocked to be charged another $77 when he hasn't played in several months and was certain he canceled it.

I can't afford to happen such problem again because I used the other person's credit card. I already cancelled the subscription ( I can't remember which game was that) but the other person still paying the fee. If SOE have policy like this all over their games then I may not able to subscribe any game even I wanted to play. It makes real life more troubles,

Instead of a recurring subscription since your using someone elses credit card pay him to buy you game cards and send them to you.   Then there is no fear of any of this stuff.   Its a one time fee he pays for x months and then he can mail the card to you or perhaps there is even a gift system as I havent looked or noticed because I just subscribe.    Depending on location there are even stores that sell these cards.   Some people often quit games and have extra cards left over and want to sell them although I would not recommend buying it that way and likely only trust a friend I know WELL to do it.   In any event there should be no need for him to pay recurring subscription for you.   Send him money and have him send you game cards :)

Yet SOE games have some of the best communities around. Coincidence? I think not…

To the OP: You have unleashed a torrent. Many here have mixed up their real lives with MMOs and are still devastated by what SOE did to SWG.

 

I for one, an "Elder Creature Hander" got screwed as much as any. I just don't give them any more money.

 

Simple.

If I was thinking about using Travelocity to go on a trip, I'd like to hear the honest opinion of people that used it in the past and how it worked out.
