Yeah, what a bummer, all the crap that will flow in soon.

If they had launched free to play I might have joined in. Otherwise I'm simply sticking with good old Guild Wars (&2). ArenaNet has done perfectly well so far with the completely F2P system, and only now with GW2 have they even introduced micropayments for cosmetics. If only other companies would do the same.

I will be playing this but I dont know for how long with the release of Planetside 2 imminent as well as MechWarrior Online. This game will have to be very good to be able to compete with those two titles.

Game is good, but its already been out for 8 months, so the luster is gone, and I've pretty much quit playing within the last week in a half. Tired of raiding, and the general grind.

SW:TOR is a pretty good game. I just got tired of not being able to find groups to complete higher level content. I leveled too slowly to keep up with the crowd. I may play when it goes f2p just to finish some of my characters stories.

With all those server merges, population is pretty good now. Belgoth's Beacon ended up on The Fatman. We went from about 30-40 players at primetime, to 300/350, having two instances of the Republic Fleet going. My Sage has been through so many raids, and have done so much PVP, I'm just exhausted now lol.
