Darthwilcu Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Sadly after beta testing since the end of July, leveling several characters to 15-48, and one to 50 I no longer enjoy playing this game. I had early access and had joined a guild for launch. Immediately I had trouble with over population and long Que times. When I did get in, the over population created lag issues and the inability to level easy due to overpopulated areas. So I switched to a lower population server and abandoned my guild. If at that time I could have received a refund I would have taken it, but I was committed and decided to make the best of it. I leveled a character to 50 in the 1st month, I was not the first on my server, but I was there before most. Due to there not being enough 50's I decided to do another alt. I leveled him to 48 last week and stopped. I decided to play my 50 for a while and to see how the server had progressed. Well, after 5 hours of waiting for a war zone, and not being able to get a group for raiding I went back to my alt. It seems that the other 50's on the server had progressed to higher level content and that there were not enough "low" 50's to group with to grind for gear. Not having the desire to go to a more populated realm and take another month to grind to 50 (yes after doing it a few times it is a grind) I have sadly decided to quit. I am hopeful for the future that server transfers will be available, but without a definitive answer from Bioware (which I am not sure knows how to even set things up so character transfers are available) I am gone. Contributing to this decision is the hackers, credit farmers, and exploiters that even appear on a low population server. Not so much that they exist, but that the reports to customer service about these things seem to go unanswered. The overall feeling I get from playing the game and reading the forums, and my personal experiences with customer service is that Bioware is looking more at the return on investment and not how good a product they are offering. I will likely be back when Bioware does some damage control, allows server transfers, and gives me a week free to check it out before I commit to another subscription. Until than it is with sadness that I say good bye to something I had much higher expectations of. Edited February 18, 2012 by Meluna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I posted a thread about this yesterday that was immediately closed down... but you're the first one I've seen fess up to complaining about overpopulation... moving to a lower pop server and now QQing because of the lower pop. The only suggestion I would make is maybe consider making an alt on higher pop'd server play it to 50 then when xfers are available you can move your other 50 (and 48) to the higher pop'd server But yea as far as hacking, RMT and other exploits you'll never find an MMO without them. The devs have bigger things to worry about atm sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeruleanNite Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You have no right to complain about a lower pop server when you fully admit you where on a higher server but moved because you didnt like the wait! As another posted pointed out, add something constructive. Give you a week free to see if you like the game, hope that never happens. Anyway bye, wont miss you.

Zhit Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Make sure to check back to see if your account was magically given comp time. Massive numbers of folks that canceled their subscriptions after the first 30 days were given comp time. i.e. If the players are going to quit--give them comp time to activate their subscription during the period when subscriptions are counted for the investor relations department/cover EA's butt with the SEC. i.e. TOR has 1.7 million active subscriptions. Only 500,000 of those actually paid for the extra time. The other 1.2million got comp time "due to outages".

Leggomy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I just find it amazing people are so egotistical that they think anyone cares they quit the game. There are millions of people playing this game. If you dont like it thats great dont play it. Please dont post these QQ threads just go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
