Thanks for all the responses,
I really really want swtor to suceed and I did buy it because I was really looking forward to the story driven aspect of the game. I guess if I am honest this wouldnt be an issue for me if there had been an expansion already released for the game that continued the story arcs and new gameplay aspects. And while Im quite happy to go free to play till they release the next proper expansion to the games universe, how much subs will they loose if others like me do so and that must effect their development strategy to gear more towards the PvP and Wz which are easier to produce and deliver.
My best analaogy is I was a late starter to lotro i was initially F2P but way before i got to the end of Angmar i was subscribed because i knew I wanted to contiue to moria and other quest areas. The game already had the hook in place for me to pay the montly fee and turbine seemed quite open about plans for furture content quest and epic storyline.
At the moment swtor doesnt have that hook in place. And my greatest fear is that they are not making enough noise about what is next for the rest of us (I know no business like to leak to much too soon) But we need that hook . To keep those all important subs coming in.
