For the billionth time, how can you expect a company spend all their resources on an MMO and have no Profit?

for the billionth time as well, this part of the mmo is called "Development" ....the game goes threw this part without usually being online cause ummm...u don't launch a game not ready. but either way...this past year and another year coming is development. you don't make profit in this part, the only cost that is extra is maintaining servers and fixes for stuff that is gonna be wiped out either way at 2.0. but in long run they took our box sales so that should cover that easily i would think.

development = there cost not ours. sorry but most of you are just mental. i get it i don't want the game to do bad either but you either ok with paying a company your money for a broken game or your not. hell i might of payed to if there was just something for me to do in game. if they stayed pay to play when game launched i probably would of payed for a good 6-8months b4 probably realizing i shouldn't be paying lol. but either way not worth it and it truly shouldn't cost anyone this money for there mistakes and development costs for a game.

again lol .... D E V E L O P M E N T
ask SE if you can get a cut of there profits at 2.0 for paying for the next year and if they say yes then hell i'll pay to play too.

by the way i'll see you guys probably at .21 i'ma chill on swtor till then. i'll come back long as there is really gonna be a server merger. or else 2.0 is my log in date.

What people also need to get over is the way this game was released. It was the old Devs faults not the new ones, you should be greatful they decided to try and salvage this instead of pretending it never existed.

I wouldn't ask anyone to even play FFXIV until 5 months after version 2. The problem with this game is they need to readjust everything at every patch. Nothing even feels right cus its all uncompleted.

[Bowen]

Well, imma do this but, I'm not going to like it too much:


This does seem awfully familiar though, reminds me of donkeys and Gil sinks for some reason. . .

Yeah I get that, seems annoying so hopefully the timeframe you suggested will have it so its sorted enough it doesnt change every other month.

I think it's a great time that they asked people to start paying. All I really know is from my LS, but what I experience is that the people who are quitting are the people who are bored, and just don't enjoy the game no matter what you do as a LS to try and make it fun. Those people who aren't going to pay are the same people who haven't been playing much for the last couple months. Sure there might be 2% who really can't afford to pay so choose not to, but we would have lost them anyway. I know my LS will take a minimal hit because the active people who log in everyday really like the game, and have a good time with us. The people who quit are the people I never really new anyway because they never log in.

I'm happy to see SE start making a bit of money. Maybe they will use that extra income to bring in more devs, start new projects, or.. something.

I'm sure there will be people who are hardcore with lots of 50s. Perhaps a couple of these will quit, but I really don't see that. They put too much time into it you know?

[Avarice]

I miss nothing when they start charging. My LS will still be around. Everyone else doesn't really matter to me. Quit (Aww take care!)/come back (aww good to see you!) doesn't affect me.

Some people are just so sad they have to make threads announcing their departure as if they are significant enough to matter over all the others who will stop payment and silent about it. You are just a player. We get those. They come and they go. You may not come back ever again. You may find something better or something you enjoy more. It doesn't matter to the majority because you don't matter to the majority. Let the ego go-go.

If you are going to complain about people having egos because they post they're feelings about the game .... don't post, you're doing it too.

goodbye trolls, hello server merge!

At this point, it can't get much worse in terms of population (I don't think), they figure the active 10,000-15,000 players left will probably pay if they've stuck it out this long.

From all the stats the JP have accumulated, it's been pretty steady between 10 and 15k, so I assume it'll head towards the 10k mark come billing time. Least it's 100,000$ in SE's pocket to help maintain servers and what not. It's good and bad that only active players will be able to post, cause most active players left really don't see too much wrong with the game and offer some ridiculous suggestions at times. On the other hand, some less active players bash bash bash to the point where they just shouldn't play.

Don't think I'll pay for the first couple months, I'll see how things progress reading through the forum notes and what not. If things get significantly better, I'll still have quite a few months to experience the new things going on.
