Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

Yes, as long as you pay their subscription fee.

No actually SE is not a bunch of elitist $$$holes like most of you are. They want people to stick around.

Inb4 ninja edit.
See DEV's!! Forum violation!! OP just gave you an excuse!

Btw... we are sticking around. Or have you not noticed that even on day 1 the initial 'shock and awe' reaction on all the polls shows the majority will be sticking around. You are in the dwindling minority..

[Bigglesworth]

I don't think they have any right to charge us to play a beta.

Huh?

It is their right to charge you and it is your right to choose whether to pay. If you don't pay, then it will be their right to deny you access to content and service they are providing you.

[Lerris]

Whether it's the right time to charge or not...

Eventually they had to reach a point of "charge or shut down". They've probably reached that.
And assuming TOR is a resounding success... how successful is it likely to be in Japan? or China?

[AlexNiculaie]

you got me on a technicality but I believe my point still stands. I can still log on and provide feedback without experienceing highlevel content. I should have specified in my earlier post that I was talking about high level and specific content.

And that feedback would be nigh useless. Consultants are expected to know what they are talking about. No-one wants the opinion of a clueless nutjob who's pulling statements out of his ass. If you think SE or any company would care what your opinion is if you haven't even tried the content in question, you are delusional.

Yes, we need to flood this forum with this to get the message across.

What message, that a minority of players on these forums are whiners, and/or dissatisfied with the condition of the game?

I like to call it the "loud minority"

[Lavani]

Hey guys, I know the game is still in alpha, but we should definitely pay them for it. How else will they develop better games?

[Dragonlord]

I have been supporting this game since beta, and still do, but charging for a game that is 50% complete makes no sesne. CEO of SE admiited the game was released a huge disaster.
