I'm a huge Star Wars fan and have been looking forward to this game. As one of the select few hundred to participate in the beta 1 I was understandably excited. I waited through all the lag, server outages, downtimes, bugs, fixes, patches, more bugs, tweaking, etc and waited and waited. And suddenly SOE announces the game is shipping?
I sighed.
Unfortunately, what most of these posts here are saying about the game not being ready is true. It needs probably 8 to 12 months more before the bugs and gameplay problems can be fixed and tuned. And $15 a month is simply crazy! How can they honestly charge us that to further beta test this game for them?
Being a huge Star Wars fan I buy pretty much everything, but I refuse to buy this when I know it isn't ready. Maybe in another year I'll pick it up.
