You'd rather pay?

And I do believe judging by that trailer that the Dark Side are winning, yes.

No, i'd rather buy it once. As i said, it's Free-2-Play, like Nexon's Combat Arms.
But i'd be better to have without subscriptions, but you needed to get CD-Key to play online.....

Quote
Specific payment models for the upcoming BioWare-developed MMOG haven't been officially revealed, but in a conference call to investors yesterday, Riccitiello said the game would make use of microtransactions. Microtransaction-based games typically have no monthly fees, but rely on small payments for in-game material, like currency or equipment, which free players don't have access to.
In other words: A Simple donoring for gear and money. No monthly fees

Why would it come out in UK before US?

There could be a million reasons, half of your tv shows are ported from us too.
Title: Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Post by: hell1989 on February 09, 2010, 04:25:22 am: Really? Half? No most entertainment is from United States not UK..most of your TV is trash.

Yeah, I have to admit, the UK has some pretty shit shows. I can't stand shows like East Enders, Coronation Street and all that shit. : <

Well, I literally shat my pants when I saw the trailer - Sith vs Jedi... that's basically what every Star Wars fan has wanted to see for a long time. However, I've seen some gameplay videos, and quite honestly, it doesn't look like anything special. : /
