Whiners causing a riot over any little issue.
It was a better game at release, even with the servers crashing (which I didn't experience since I started playing wow 3 weeks to 1 month after it launched). Poor decisions and what seems an inability to act swiftly to fix shit doesn't help this game.

The link posted above should work for you, looks like there's some sort of "bug" COUGH COUGH COUGH that shows people as unsubscribed even though they are in fact subscribed and their payment reflects as much as you mentioned.

The pipeline of the content already in place and pacing. Things JUST got stale in it's recent history and that's after a long ass time of quality content.
The most important aspect of the game was already in place. A groundbreaking level foundation of gameplay deemed crack like to maintain an addicted player base.

I think he means that WoW is responsible for turning mannered, responsible, intelligent gamers into "trolls."
Yes! thank you! "Your subscription has been cancelled." Perfect. Really guys, I am doing this because I think this game needs a lot of work. I might come back, maybe. I played WoW for a solid 2 years, but that was a different time.

Delete your payment method(s) as well. Probably not necessary, but there have been a few fuck ups in recent years with old/dead accounts being charged in various MMOs.

I read some of the last page...are people really thinking that this game is going to die? It's massively successful.
Done. Thanks for the heads up dude.
3DS syndrome.

Anyone who thinks the game is gonna die because of this needs their head examined.
It's just not fair, right?

Sorry to hear that. I cancelled mine yesterday, but that was only because when I initially signed up I went with a 6 month plan. So I had to cancel and then re-sub for 1 month only. After playing early start and my 1st 30 days, I am not willing to commit 6 months of my hard earned money on a game that so far has had too many issues. However, I will committ to another month to see where things go and how quickly they put out hot-fixes for 1.1.
The game is fun, just a technical mess from lacking graphic options, bugs (dating back to over a year ago in beta bugs) and just a host of other issues. The other reason I am giving them 1 more month is alot of friends are planning to go 60 days since they bought the sub-cards and those only come in 60 day increments.
I'm not sure how breaking your entire PvP system in a manner that potentially has long term repercussions is a little issue, but okay, I guess. You are free to pay Bioware $15 a month to break a game that was a mess to begin with, but you probably shouldn't expect everyone else to.

God, my server is already dead (Galactic market Speaking), that I was forced to take up Cybertech to make my own Item Modification stuff, and Nerfed-Slicing(tm) to make money outside of questing . It can't really get any worse than that.
Hopefully the population will stabilize to a healthy amount and worst case scenario, we get server merge to better population.
But as usual, I seriously think people are just over-reacting on the whole thing.
It's an important issue, yes, but I'm sure they'll fix it the proper way (if not then, wow... -_-)
We'll see in a few months.
By the way, stuck at work... Has anyone been able to confirm/deny the stealth Slicing-Buff someone was telling us about ?
It won't matter at all next week.
Because they've constantly iterated and innovated with game-systems and attentiveness to problems and problem-solving in World of Warcraft, and rarely let it stay stagnant (however things have definitely slowed down since WotLK, that's for sure).
If anything, I hope they're a bit more careful with when and how they deploy patches, and at the very least allow level 50 premades for the PTRs. Those things will go a long way into the stability of the game.i don't think bioware checked itself before it riggity wrecked itself
Because no one will be playing or because everyone will be battlemasters?

Why? Are they taking away the gear?
I'm not sure what the definition of "matter at all" is. However, it seems to me that suddenly handing out tons of valor and a truckload of the highest level PvP gear will have some big repercussions, though, both on Warzones and on raiding. Particularly when it's almost entirely given to one faction.
Dude I've put 100 hours into this game in the last 37 days (I had day 1 early access).
If the game shuts down tomorrow forever, I've easily gotten my money's worth.
I can't recall any other game I've purchased recently where I've gotten that much play time out of $60. Maybe Skyrim comes close, but I've probably only put 60-70 hours into that.
Turning off Taxi's and patching the fix tomorrow morning is an inability to act? Really?

A day of Ilum problems is hardly worth shitting oneself over. Threats of quitting and actually quitting over this seems pointless.

That's how MMOs work, you loudly and vocally threaten to quit over everything.
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Nah, MMO forums were the same before WoW. It's why I generally avoid the forums of any MMO. You would hope that the GAF community was above that sort of doom crying over reaction but I guess not.
You're new to this MMO thing, eh? People will make a mountain out of a molehill over the stupidest things, and ignore the more pressing issues.
whilst i agree about mountains out of mole hills. This does have the ability to fuck up high level PVP for a looooooong time.
has bioware SERIOUSLY removed the cancel button today?
LOL if true
Yep.
And that's also the answer for the guy who was wondering what this statement meant on the previous page:
Whiny, entitled, doomsaying, sky-is-falling, fix this shit now, I mean NOW, I mean fix it right fucking NOW, or me, my guild, all 300 of my friends, my mom, their moms, and my pet chinchilla are all going to quit this ridiculous game. It sucked anyway.
Just like WoW, PvP clearly isn't the focus of the game, but it does throw it for a loop I suppose.
And the cancel button is back, I just used it. Not to quit, but just because I forgot I had a subscription active and I always prefer to deal in time cards if I can.

Modesty becomes a woman
I wonder what % of the population is level 50 already, and what % of the population even gives a shit about PVP.
No way to tell about the second one, but I highly doubt this is going to kill the game.
Uh, the patch hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet. It could be fixed tonight.
You're a moron.
eh, it's going to be fixed
Finally Bioware dont be so arrogant. It is blatant you have no clue what you are doing, there are players playing your game which are more qualified to do your job than you yourselves are. If you make a mistake I expect the exact individual who screwed up to come and personally apologize on this forum. I DEMAND this right as a paying customer, it is not something optional, I demand respect as a paying customer.
meanwhile back in the real world.....
seriously the official forums are hillarious

It's painful for me, as I try to sift through them on a daily basis for items such as the potential slicing buff. For every potentially interesting or informative post you get the most wretched and horrid shit imaginable. The game really needs its own "mmo-champion" or similar news site imo. Obviously more pressing concerns, but hey while we're making a wish list here. :lol
And yeah the threads going a little nuts, I mean tortanic? Seems like the last page has just been incessant gloating at Bioware's mistakes with the patch, did they run over someones dog? Games not going anywhere guys, at least not this early.
To summarize: BRING BACK THE EROTIC DROID FANFICTION.

Fuck Ilum, boo hoo. The real damn question is...when the fuck are we gonna get some performance updates?! This game should not be bring 580GTXs and 6970s to its knees because you have 10 other people kickin it with you in fleet.
And their AA options suck ass, it's basically 1xAA, 2xAA...really Bioware? Really? 1xAA? The fuck, no one is using a Voodoo card man

I think a lot of you are overreacting quite a bit...soo much negativity. I can only speak for myself, but...this game has been damn fun so far and I have no plans to cancel at this point.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Amen to this.
I have an overclocked i7 930, a GTX570 OC'd, 6GB RAM, and the game is on a 10K RPM drive, and the fleet brings me down to sub 30fps quite often. Just stupid.
It's also crazy how much RAM this game eats up. After an hour or so, it's not uncommon for 5GBs of RAM to be used by the ToR.exe.

Anyhoo, I'm not even playing the game today. I'm gonna wait it out for a couple days, and see what everything is like once the dust settles.

No? I just checked. Option was there.
Some proof:
It's not happening to everyone, it is apparently happening to a lot of people or they are all lying.
Occam, more than likely.
No, I've been playing them since 2004. I expect this attitude but I still have trouble getting over it.
That's why I always run a memory cleaner/optimizer when I play. Keeps things low.
