Uhh, I played it last winter, after the last expansion. I missed nothing.
No, no it wasn't fun. Running out of quest and being forced to grind kill mobs because the game was DESIGNED with a faster leveling curve is downright retarded. Afaik Tor is the only mmo to do this when they went f2p.
And no it is nothing like complaining about a free meal. #1 I CAN complain about a free meal, if it taste bad I can still say it taste bad. Welcome to amurca. #2 Free meals are usually associated with the need to eat and being grateful if you are unable to buy food. I didn't play Tor because of any need, I was looking for entertainment. There is better free entertainment out there.
