NDiggy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Got an email survey from EA today and I have to say it seemed pretty ominous about the future of SWTOR. Basically all the questions were about how much I would be willing to pay for TOR content packages. Did anyone else get this email? Does this mean they're ramping up to go F2P?

krisknife Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They better not go f2p, if they do they better keep some servers p2p with no cash shop items, else I will never play this game again and will return to blizzard titles. Pretty sure a great many will feel the same way, f2p kills a game entirely and degrades it to a who can spend the most marathon, those games are zero fun for avg players not living off daddy's wallet.

Bluerodian Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 As hilarious as I find that to be, you still might want to ensure its legitimacy. Make sure it's actually from EA and isn't a spam or phishing attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiabloDoom Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They go F2P I'll be annoyed. Well depends on their shop and what they offer. If it's similar to LOTRO then I may accept, but if it turns out that I need to spend hundreds of quid just to enjoy endgame then I'll be pissed, would rather spend that money on a flight and slap the board of directors with a big rubber purple one.

EQ2 did a few "Adventure Packs" a long time ago. Some of their first additional content was adventure packs. They were smaller than a full expansion and were only $9 or so. They were pretty cool. It has nothing to do with F2P. Edit: EQ2 Adventure Packs Edited May 25, 2012 by TheBBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisknife Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have seen some brilliant attempts at scams using ToR as their tool to do so, everyone of them looked plausible and official until you closely look at the address that sent the email to you and compare it to official BW emails and I can almost guarantee they don't no were near match each other. I have been a beta tester since the beginning and haven't received any survey, have seen a few BS attempts though, be careful:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the survey that had expantions at $9.99 and you could get a: Ewok Pet. and a "lukeskywalker" speeder. If so ..... Not legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerAlexStark Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They send them out after you unsubscribe, to all the naysayers. Doesn't ask for any account info and it's a pretty extensive survey. Stop being dumb and negative people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkuzBukit Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 No, it's highly likely to be a phishing email. I get emails to update my account, warning I am trying to sell my account & invitations to beta expansions & all for games I do not & never have had an account in, it's a very widespread practice. e.g. Aion, Runescape, Never go to any website from an email link, if you play the game go to your account from the official website & check what you need to, 99.9% of the time you'll see that the email was bull. Hadn't seen "survey scam" email before but anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
