Darklighter Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The last bullet of their May the 4th promotion stuff..... Knights of the Fallen Empire Free** Trial: Be a part of the epic Knights of the Fallen Empire storyline and help turn the tide of the battle on the Eternal Empire – Subscribe to binge all of the episodic story so far! Activate your Free Trial by May 30 to gain a free Level 60 Character and instant access to Chapter 1: The Hunt! So.....log into the game and POOF.....free lvl 60 character.....and free access to KOTFE.....the story that was all subscriber access only?? This reeks of desperation. I'm guessing their subscription numbers are plummeting. I'm still subbed....but haven't logged into the game in a few weeks. Totally lost the will to. I'm guessing a lot of people feel the same way, and have unsubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCT Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's only access to Chapter 1. It's the same access that was granted by the code they sent out in an email. You still have to sub for the rest of the story, if you'd read the bit you quoted. Too..... much effort.....must rant.....Bioware......baaaaaaaaaad........

It's only access to Chapter 1. It's the same access that was granted by the code they sent out in an email. You still have to sub for the rest of the story, if you'd read the bit you quoted. She has a point, in the post you yourself quoted they say you have trial access to te first chapter, just like those codes they handed out to subs back before chapter 12.

beattlebilly Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Don't all games have an enticing free trial, regardless of their player numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Don't all games have an enticing free trial, regardless of their player numbers? yeah but the doom and gloom crowd are gonna argue the games dead and use that as proof. EA could issue a statement tomorroiw and say SWTOR is the most profitable video game ever and the doom and gloom crowd would find a way to say it means death and doom Edited April 28, 2016 by BrianDavion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to figure that out but hey they call it what they want over 100 still seems a lot to me... So you won't hear me ever talk about dead servers...

EA could issue a statement tomorroiw and say SWTOR is the most profitable video game ever and the doom and gloom crowd would find a way to say it means death and doom Because if it was the most profitable game ever, then that means they should probably be putting more into the game. We could have operations, balanced PVP, new PVP maps, more QOL changes in general, especially for roleplaying, a update to GSF, and still have KOTFE on the side, but instead for a game with the most successful expansion ever in the history of swtor, its funnily enough the smallest. Instead we seem to have a skeleton crew running things with bugs from the launch of KOTFE and new ones taking multiple major patches to be fixed.

Yay, let's turn every thread ever into the exact same rants about how the game sucks, needs more content, give PvP and GSF some love, blah blah blah. We all know your point of view, I'm pretty sure you know mine. Let's just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeNaCe-NZ Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Can you normally get a level 60 account so easily without subbing? Just thinking in terms of how this is going to be exploited by botters and such ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasanth Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So, they allow people to try it for free. How is that any different then a trial account they had back when this game had a sub fee? Or for that mater any and all games that had/ have a fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA could issue a statement tomorroiw and say SWTOR is the most profitable video game ever and the doom and gloom crowd would find a way to say it means death and doom Not at all. If they released this info, I would be stunned....but happy that the game is doing well. I would also expect them to expand the game to bring in more players. I see none of that now. And I see all your points about the free Chapter I being a perk to bring in new players. I was focusing more on the free lvl 60 character. THAT part, you have to admit, does seem like a desperate freebie to offer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
