Rafkin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So you forced players to abandon servers and now you're going to open them back up to handle to influx of new F2P people? I don't see the current servers taking in tens of thousands of new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkcerb Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 free to play does bring in alot of new players...but tens of thousands might be a little generous, considering how bad a rep bioware and ea are making for themselves these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudenfusz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 BioWare said they are planing on increasing the amount of players who can play on the servers, so I guess they better get that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISTrick Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Don't underestimate the power of the word "free". Agreed... I know a lot of people who will try SWTOR now, there are A LOT of people who hate the sub model, but really wanted to give this game a go... at least the player base should grow amiright?

Tekkoclarky Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Less people will play this game that are playing it atm. There sub count atm must be really bad. The only thing that ruined this game was the engine, people will not stick around for 8v8 pvp in any MMO. Hell, you have a cheek calling it an MMO. You still have to buy the game.

Tommohawk Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Maybe they'll use some of the old servers as F2P only ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a source - got it from another thread that did have a source... Can't find it now I run a standard PC, and never have any problems with lag etc, at full spec. I'm following some tips from a thread ages ago, I'll see if I can't find it... As for improving the engine, yeah, everything needs improved. And I have faith the Devs etc will be working on improvements a lot more in the forseeable future. 'Cause you gotta have faith-faith-faith...

But with this free to play the better give us player housing, social classes, a real 3d space game and some major content before november or they can say bye bye to alot of the current playerbase.

Thanks for correcting me. And yeah, that stuff sounds awesome! The 3D space game - do you mean similar to what Star Trek Online has? If so - EPIC!
