My beef with MMO's is the cost to play every month. Not sure if it applies to this, but all the other MMO's, I can't stand the idea of paying $15/mo to play a game I paid for once.
I do understand the thought process though. The developers need to keep getting paid for their work, and the maintenance to run everything on the servers. But, kinda stinks as a gamer.
i've been testing it for little over two weeks. not suppose to go into details but I like it. Would like to play it at launch but I don't know right now.
more than likely TOR will have a fee and will probably be at $15/month
@Tgib2007: should check out Guild Wars 2. sequel to Arena Net's criticaly acclaim Guild Wars game. GW2 is going to be a full persistant world (like traditional MMO's, where GW was private instances outside of towns/outpost). And like GW1, will not have a monthly fee to it.
Already have the collector's edition pre-ordered. Been excited about this game since I first saw that trailer 2+ years ago.
Bioware can do no wrong in my eyes.
And TGLIB the key if you're tentative about playing it, is wait until they give a free week, or let you get to a certain level. Then play it, and figure if you want to pay the fee.
It's worth it imo. Think of how many people b---- about COD with the lag and everything.
The only lag you get playing games on dedicated servers is if YOUR internet is screwy, or if they're having issues server side.

Same. Kotor 1 and 2 are my favorite games ever, in that order.
Cmon man $15 a month is very miniscule, i mean if you wanna go out and have a good night its going to cost at least $15 or more, so 15 for a whole month is very, very reasonable.

i can't bring myself to pay a recurring fee for a game i have to a large upfront fee to begin with

the way to look at is this...........most games cost $60 upfront for 10-30 hours of gameplay...........on average. This along with other MMOs cost about the same as normal games but you get the first month free and you get an unlimited amount of gameplay with constant updates and different content.
especially if you have xbox live this shouldn't be much different.

I don't pay for xbox live either. Even if i did an xbox live subsidization applies to of my games. Once i beat a game, whats the point in buying more game time in hoping they add new content soon. Either don't charge a subscription or charge a subscription rate up front with a free download. I can't bring myself to pay $70 after tax up front and then another $15 a month. I not saying its not worth it, i just personally can't justify it
I have this game, but cancelled my subscription a few months ago. I wanted to keep playing this game so bad, but I just have nowhere as much free time on my hands like I had a few years ago
