It maybe too early to post this, But Lack of people on servers before patch 1.2 rolled out, Problems upon more problems with this being broken and that being broken and now this whole ordeal with the servers today. As subscriber's are dropping like flies because of what is going on today and yes some people that were not happy with the 1.2 update, Has Bio ware let this game slip to far away to keep this game on a paid sub basis? Since day one I seen many things with the game and in game that made me believe they intentionally constructed the game to be a free to play game eventually. Several things come to mind that a customer would have to dish out money for to play in game.
Here is 20 things i can think of off hand for a free to play model/
1. PVP - paying for warzones, paying to basically own them while the game is alive and kicking.
2. world access - access to new worlds, which will most like be in the near future, maybe a world or two very soon.
3. mission access.
4. mounts
5. pets
6. cosmetic and social items
7. capping credit limits, pay to lift the cap
8. skills and heroic type weapons
9. special buffs and med packs
10. crew skills
11. crew missions
12. ship parts
13. ship customization
14. Ship amenities
15. extra character slots
16. extra content
17. expansions ( we are talking the real deal expansions)
18. of course paid character transfers
19. paying to unlock new crew members
20. Misc. gadgets etc. that give you a advantage
anyway i am happy with the game, but not the downtime lol.
