[QUOTE=RichyZ;37021703]price drop and made subbing optional, if you sub you get advanced features or w/e but you can still do stuff without a sub[/QUOTE]
Doesn't seem like a smart move, but I'm not that sharp either
NOW I'm interested in picking this up. Making the subscription model optional AND dropping the game price? Fucking right. Can't wait to give this a whirl now.
It is dying
It was inevitable.
Wouldn't buy it for £5, so...
This is how it should have been from the beginning.
With most people stopping after they're done with their story, a one time payment makes more sense than a continuous subscription.
I can play past level 15 for free, hurah.
Protip: Don't pick a character server just because it has a cool name and not notice it's a german server until you are level 13.
Nihilis' Helmet is going to be in the cash shop.

HAH. STO (with paid sub) lasted longer than SWTOR.
Jeeze if I had read the whole page it would have said yes, that is an option.

Still going to stay subbed, since that seems to be the only way to get future content.
I am laughing heartily at the people who said "it won't go F2P for a long time".
What the hell? That's not free to play in any sense of the word.
You buy the main game for $15. Level 50 is only for people with subscriptions tho. If that's free to play then WoW is even more free to play with their Level 10 demo or what they got.
What the fucking hell, Shack.

Uh, its F2P up to Level 50. everything after requires a sub. Read the official F2P Page

Was inevitable. Always joked to guild and general chat on fleet saying it's going f2p every now and again. Was never taken seriously.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;37021599]wow, now i might actually play
if you can't read, its going f2p in the way that guild wars is f2p
aka buy and play[/QUOTE]
Paid subscribers will get access to new higher-level game content beyond the current level 50 cap, including new space combat missions.
lol
is this a fucking joke?
[editline]31st July 2012[/editline]
Some character creation options, such as species, are limited to subscribers.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
"buy our game then buy the rest of the content please!"
[editline]31st July 2012[/editline]
Subscribers have access to all travel functionality, making getting around the world easier.
oh god my sides
[QUOTE=SFC3;37022161]HAH. STO (with paid sub) lasted longer than SWTOR.[/QUOTE]
And its doing better than this as a F2P game right now.
Here is a comparison for people wondering. And yes, it's shitty.

The number one reason I got bored of this game, was having to walk across the map for shitty pointless grind missions. But after doing a few missions in a huge ass area, you would find out there is another fucking area just as huge, waiting with even more pointless grind missions. Now that traveling is going to be limited, unless you pay 15 dollars a month, I don't think I'm going to even give this another chance.
EDIT: Fucking ninjas :suicide:
It's funny because it's genuine pay2win now.
Operations are locked to F2P players.
Operations are SWTOR's raids.
Raids give the best gear in MMOs.
No sub = you can't get the best gear
"Hey guys we made our game F2P only there is no incentive to actually play for free since we made being a free player suck fucking balls!"
[quote]Space Missions
Free players are limited in terms of how many Space Missions they can play per week.
Operations
Only Subscribers may complete Operations.
[/quote]
That's some bullshit right there.
I got my best gear from operations. I got a torso armor peice while playing bounty hunter and I didn't change it for quite some time and several levels later.
How is that F2P?
[QUOTE=latin_geek;37022843]How is that F2P?[/QUOTE]
Free to play*
*get like 2% of the content
They need to give an incentive for you to pay, how else will they make money?
please stop trying to defend this abomination of a free to play model
