If Prince Hamlet was a SWTOR PvPer during 2.x to present...

To sub, or not to sub- that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The random drops of outrageous fortune

Or to take arms against a sea of endless gear grind,

And by opposing unsub. To unsub- to quit-

No more; and by unsub to say we end

The boredom, and the thousand wasted hours

That 5.x is heir to. 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To unsub- to quit.

To unsub- perchance to do something else: ay, there's the rub!

For in that time gained what other MMOs may come

When we have unsubed this 5.x coil,

Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long loyal subscription.

For who would endure the endless flashpoints and Heorics of time,

Th' premade's wrongs, the proud veteran's reagequits,

The pangs of empty PvP guilds , the helpdesk delay,

The insolence of developer spokemen, and the spurns

That patient merit of th' unworthy takes on this PvP forum,

When he himself might his unsub make

With a canceled credit card transaction? How much can PvPers bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary grind,

But that the dread of something after unsubing-

The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn

May or may not return- puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to the Star Wars developers that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry

And lose the name of action.- Soft you now!

A Warzone popeth!- Voidstar, in thy orisons

Be all my sins rememb'red.

That is fantastic, but...you just gave me a flashback to high school English class :eek:

Pfft. Shakespeare was one of my two favorite English classes when I was in high school - the other being Science Fiction.

 

It was occasionally a little surreal, listening to Americans (I'm British, but lived in the US at that time) failing miserably at pronouncing English place names, especially the -cesters:

* Worcester = "Wooster"

* Leicester = "Lester"

* Gloucester = "Gloster"

* Bicester = "Bister"

* But Cirencester is pronounced "Siren-cester"

 

Lord only knows what they'd have made of Cholmondley ("Chumley") or Featherstonehaugh ("Fanshaw").

It's not our fault you guys don't know how to spell your own language :D

 

Seriously, though. I like Shakespeare - I was an English major several thousand years ago. But I still have nightmares about one of my high school English teachers.
