Thank you for answering my question and clarifying my understanding of the 30 free days. Your help on this thread has been appreciated.

While I do find having to enter my credit card into an 'active subscription' to be both dishonest business practice and borderline illegal (probably hidden somewhere in the EULA) - as it was promised to come WITH my purchase of the game and NOT a subscription (I don't see ANYWHERE it has said otherwise previously). My only question is this: Do my free 30 days come the day I've subscribed? Or did they begin on December 22nd at 3:01 a.m. CST, when players were required to establish an "active subscription"? Because if it's the latter, that is most certainly, and absolutely 100 million percent illegal. Let's hypothetically say that I'm in the military and am on active deployment. When I return home to set up a subscription and first enter SW:TOR - I'm entitled to those 30 days in their entirety for making the purchase. Period. THAT was promised. If this invisible clock of 30 free days has been ticking since the 22nd, I feel a lot of people have grounds to pursue a consumer lawsuit. I paid my subscription today, but I want to know that I have my free 30 days from TODAY - not the 22nd.

LOL. You're right, they didn't choose where to place guilds.. oh say, for instance, on all the empty and new *********** servers they've implemented instead of overloading the ones they had at early access. "HERP DERP", I call that retarded.

Am I honestly sitting in a 800 person queue right now? I'm not one to complain, but I felt like putting in my two cents while I sit out this HOUR LONG wait. This had better be their gosh darned top priority right now or I am going to **** a brick. I didn't pay $150 AND MONTHLY FEES to sit around for a *********** hour after I get off work. I've been in these things since first day of early release. This is absolutely, positively, 100% unacceptable and it needs to be fixed - NOW. It's going to come down to hard capping a servers current population to prevent new players (which will cause a ton of ************) - or deal with people who are going to get totally fed up with these asinine and astronomical queues and are going to ***** and scream bloody murder (such as myself). Pick your poison, Bioware. You did this to yourselves with your retarded use of guild deployment.
