Here is the website I found the list on... http://www.swtor.com/free/features

Honestly Free-to-Play isn't bad if that's all you can afford; but if you can Sub its way better.

I was Beta then just missed getting my game for the founders title (still a bit pissed about that one).

But from what I have seen the servers have gone to hell in a hand basket because of the damn f2p morons. (I'm not saying all f2p are morons, I'm just saying a good number of them are) I have had more problems with f2p players than Subs these past few weeks.

But both me and Pin play, we play Republic only now, we used to have a few toons on the Imp side but never found a good guild so we said forget it and deleted them. But we hang out on Harbinger.

I agree the subscription is the way to go...IF you like the graphics and mechanics of the game.  It took half a day for me to download the client to test drive F2P.  I like it, but am unsure if the time I can commit is worth the price of admission.  I bought a lifetime sub for Star Trek Online (pre-order), which I also like, but just have too many distractions; like hanging out here and buying sabers.  :-p  -Saint

You really shouldn't judge every game on its graphics, some of the best games in the world are played in 8 or even 16 bit. And not everything can run the Frostbite engine.

As for the mechanics of the game they are the same as any MMO that I have ever played. The only REAL difference I see, is that you don't have auto attack, and you have a companion that makes up for at lest 1 person in the group of you have them geared right.

All MMO's seem to have the same mechanics. The abilities tend to be the same I just wish there was a Neutral side for Smugglers/Bounty Hunters. Because they can go for either side, and 9 default classes would be pretty awesome. Also why couldnt we be Trandoshan/Rodian/Wookiee? They're among my favorite Species next to Chiss.

When WoW came out they didn't have all the races they do now. Give it time, TOR has only been out for a year this Dec.

I'm kinda bummed about some of the restrictions on F2P. I'll stay F2P though, since the amount of time I actually devote to the game(and can devote to it) do not justify the price for the sub.

My real issue with F2P is the inability to use in game chat... you have to wait 60 seconds between your posts, so it makes RP or conversations really difficult at best.

I hate being limited to 2 characters also, as I tend to like making and playing alts to try everything out and tweak different appearance settings.  So far I've deleted level 30+ toons because I get burned out on the story and want to play something else... I think I currently have two characters at level 15 and 16, one Jedi, one Sith, though that's subject to change at any time.

I too am on Ebon Hawk, just not on as often as I was before my knee surgery  (gets difficult to want to sit at my desk when I cant stretch out my leg like I need to)

I'd love a subscription, but it's a tad difficult financially until I get back to work on a regular basis.

I started back up and have been having a lot of fun.

I'm on Ebon Hawk on both sides if anyone is ever looking for someone to help out PM me.

Or if anyone needs a speeder, or some cartel market items, I have a few spares that I'm willing to part with to help out a fellow Saberforumian (I treat the forums like I guild, I don't sell to guildies, only give).

I haven't played in, like two months. I like it, it's just too far down on the priorities list ATM.

Used to. But with Lucas Arts getting the axe, who knows if this game will stay or not.

The game is owned, developed and operated by EA/Bioware.  LucasArts just licensed it.
In this sense, it's already doing exactly what Disney wanted to do with Star Wars games -- use LA to license out the material to external developers and publishers.

I've cancelled my subscription for the time being since I no longer have the time to put in the hours I use to put in.
