Well, theres free, and then theres free. Free doesn't mean the same thing nowadays. In this case its,'Free, but with a catch.' So technically it is free, but they've made it so uncomfortable to play, its not. Its more 'Free 2 nickle and dime for things you have to have to have to play for free.'

People complain 'Just pay the $14.99 sub price and get it all unlocked', but when you have more than one sub a month, like me, you have to be a bit more picky which games you choose. This F2P showcases a very small portion of the games features. A person trying it out for the first time isn't going to get a sub because he's/she's not having a good time playing. They can't try out the more interesting things like crafting, PvP and starship combat. 3 times a week is a joke. They've already moved on to the next game by the time the next week comes around, leaving SWTOR right where it was before. On the brink of closing down. Fanboi's can scream the games doing well, but after watching EA suck the life out of Bioware, corporate greed will call saying the games not making enough money, and they'll pull the plug.

100 servers down to how many?

SWTOR 1-50 is a very good gaming experience. the Cartel shop augments this experience and lets you dip into the lvl 50 PvP or PvE for a small credit card purchase. That's pretty good. A smart move from Bioware/EA.

Problem with endgame Ops raiding or PvP in SWTOR is there isn't anything great or new there. The magic in the game is the story. What Bioware/EA really needs to do is produce good story-based expansions. That would really drive the game forward.

  Agreed, story based expansion would be ideal

You seem to be missing the major problem with the game, far to much story and not enough to do.  Now you want more story?  Sorry that it seems to me would be a major mistake.  While a deep story is good in a MMO, you also need to include things to do.  Personally I think the game is unfixable as the game systems need a major overhaul.  If they want to save the game, they need to do what SWG did, add a space expansion and remove that ridiculous arcade thing, it is does not belong in a MMO.  I might go back and resub if they did that.  If they just add more story they are wasting their time, the vast majority of past subscribers will just laugh at them.

   I cannot speak for anyone else ( although many people who post claim to speak for everyone) but what I want is more story, cut scenes, more combat, better space game, crafting a bit more usefull.  If the next expansion concentrated on these I would be happy.  I understand you have the PvPeers so that has to be in the next expak also
