John Galt Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yes, definitely. I'll probably be tired of WoW by then, and will need a new MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiser_Cain Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Simply the fact that its mmo makes it BS... And i would have to pay every month for it? hell no. And if you ask me, its not about the AMOUNT of content but rather the quality of it... Which as we know, is usually kinda bad in the MMO´s. Or do you find " kill 50 rats" -quests rewarding? Well if there aren't infinite time sinks you'd finish the game and they can't have that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I dont really know how people can expect any kind of quality, updates, expansions, support and unlimited play for a one time fee... everything cost's money You said it all, mate.

Sir Vougalot Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yes. No MMO is ever free. Well, unless they're those crappy sixteen-bit ones made by nerds in basements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes. No MMO is ever free. Well, unless they're those crappy sixteen-bit ones made by nerds in basements. AeriaGames would like to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommycat Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The poll shows too much bias. Can't we get it reworded to something less biased? (Done! ~T_A) Yes, I think this game will be worth it No, I don't think it will be worth it. Maybe, I'm waiting for more info like everyone else. Me, I'm a firm Maybe with a leaning towards yes. I absolutely back my maybe. It is so early to say yes. I mean the game play might be completely convoluted. They might go back on the "no killing rats" promise(as much as I dislike rats, I don't like killing them for long periods of time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiser_Cain Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It's too early to tell, if there is a wow factor it hasn't been added yet. As it stands I don't think I'll get this but that could change if things, and I mean a lot of things change and or are added. Right now I've seen better fan made things.

Swanea Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 AeriaGames would like to disagree. Granted, those are targeted at a younger audience and the ones that are not, are pretty bad. Most free mmos are terrible. Guild Wars releases big content updates for money. Free mmos have item malls. Item malls are terrible. oh, and I am more than willing to try the game for 50 bucks, it IS Star Wars. If I do not like it, after my free month, oh well.

ExarKun423 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I would buy and pay for TOR. I always wanted a mmo that took place around that era in SW. I would have to take a look at trailers and stuff first thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 For the record, GW 2 will include jumping. Honestly, I don't know. My hopes certainly aren't up for the game, and I don't even feel WoW warrants my 15 a month, so unless ToR is really super special, I'm looking at a rather pithy "no". Maybe if there's like a first month free deal, yeah I'll give it a shot and see if it's worth it, otherwise, maybe sometime down the road I'll try it, but I won't be hopping off to buy it day 1 that's for sure.

Mav Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Usually when you buy the game itself you get at least a month of gaming with it, so I'll most likely buy the game, whether I continue to pay for the game, well now that all depends on said month...

gianner Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I will definetely try out the Trial. If I like it, and there multiple ways of paying the monthly fees (not just credit card...), I will buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakalwe Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Without a doubt. This will 99% certain be a pay to play but it will be worth it I'm sure (I hope!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedias Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 On average (and assuming it will be on average) $15/month isn't a lot of money for anyone who has a job or some kind of regular income. The reason for paying? Simple: server maintenance and upkeep costs. It costs money to operate servers, and keep them running ship shape with a high uprate. Just like when you're playing an FPS. Sure, you can play for free by joining other peoples servers but down the line someone is paying for that server. It just doesn't magically appear. In an MMO there are a lot of servers that house thousands of players. These cost money. Solution: monthly fees. And of course let's not forget patch content (not expansions) and the developers working to keep the balance issues in check, etc. So yes, I'll pay per month. Of course if after the first month (which is normally included with purchase) I'm not satisfied then I'll just cancel and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I guess the one thing I like about this type of pay to play gamje is that it keeps the kids out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedias Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yes and no. There are many parents who will blindly hand over their credit cards to their kids just to keep them off their backs. At least that is my hypothesis or explanation for all the "kiddies" I've run into in World of Warcraft and other MMOs (Warhammer was pretty bad too). Or, just immature adults. But then again I guess any online game has it's share of both mature and non. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklink41 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 What do you expect with modern MMOs? Yes I'll pay the fee, but in return for that fee I expect a damn good game! I pay to play FFXI and I don't regret it. The problem for me is will I quit FFXI if TOR is really awesome? Paying will probably be demanded. It'll probably be monthly and, like most MMOs, it'll be ballpark $10-$15. I'd like to see multi platform though (i bet TOR would be sexy on the 360!)
