People really?......

a Star Wars MMORPG is not going to take away a Final Fantasy fan base
the game is not garbage, nor is it gold, it is....uumm... leftovers ^.^

I can see where the OP is wanting/coming from, but the webcam idea, well just on security reasons alone, could not happen, and a constant update of progress again would be difficult through twitter or something of the like, due to things changing so much off and on in the programing process. So many ideas tossed in and out the pot, some even tried and then tossed.

I fell that the one time story arc that will be from 1.20 - 1.99 is enough of a compensation, even then we already got a year free. Like others have said, once 1.20 comes out, if you feel it is not worth the fee, then dont pay, hold off till an update peeks your interest or when 2.0 comes out.
