Will wait to play this game until stable and epic private/free to play servers are available?

On the same hand, how many of you are potentially going to wait for it to eventually (even if 'eventually' means a few years) for Bioware to officially make it "free to play" before you play it?

[Plasticcaz]

If it ever goes "Free-to-play" I'll likely give it a go. It looks awsome, but I don't do subscriptions.

[Hassat Hunter]

I'm in the "free to play" crowd.
50 euro, no monthly costs will do too ;).

[Plasticcaz]

Yeah, I don't mind paying for games once. [I'll accept buying expansions]

[Mandalore]

I'll pay for expansions, maybe the game itself, but I'm not paying monthly just to play it. Pay for premium service, not just to play the game. Waiting for F2P.

[Crixler]

I'm the same way. Monthly fees are awful.

Though, from what I've seen, I'm not hugely impressed with the game anyway...

Right? When I first saw the CG trailers, I was like "wow, this could be great" but then I saw the actual gameplay.. and it's not nearly as impressive as I thought it would be. It's why I never pre-order games based off of CG trailers anymore.. learned my lesson about that years ago.

I can understand the reason for monthly fees.. server upkeep and all of that but there are tons of "free to play" MMOs out there that do great despite the need to not pay every month.

[GeneralStrife]

I like it too much to gamble on if that ever happens.

[ShinDangaioh]

I do not play MMO's, even free ones. So, I'll pass.


If Old Republic was like Phantasy Star Online, I might have. Since PSO allowed you to play offline instead of going online.

the only reason i want to play this game is because they said it is KotOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.
that being said i will not ever pay a monthly fee to play a single player game, because i don't want to play with strangers and all my friends are console gamers :(

I never truly saw the reason for monthly fees for that very reason. It's not a 'social network' like facebook and it's not a 'dating site'.. it's a video game which will cost what? 60 dollars (American) on release? How does it make sense to charge 10 dollars more every month that the person plays that game.. it's why I don't play WoW despite the 'hype' for it. Could be the best game ever but the monthly fees ruin any appeal it might have.

How can it be off the record if they reply? I would think putting their answer on a public forum would be on the record, don't you? ;)

Bah! Details! I like to think of "off the record" as "it can't be used against you if you say anything incriminating". I watch too much Law & Order and I hear that "off the record" line so much that sometimes I forget that they're in private and things on the internet are public.

So basically, if you work for Bioware and saw anything you didn't like here here.. *jedi mind trick* you didn't see anything.

[bannester]

I most definitly plan on pay the fees to me the game looks and plays amazing enough to be worth it. I mean I made a bunch of schoolgirl-esk noises when i played the beta so...

[Kerk]

No game is worth 120$ per year, and especially not this one.
