Well, SW old republic is free to play now, and I'm playing, and it's awesome. I think it was a good move.

Flipping over a golden table seems like a pretty hard thing to do...unless we're talking like a small coffee table.

Not when you have 50 menservants to help you.

Well the Korea part sucks, yes, by all means nuke bots if you can (which yknow will n doubt end up being pdd) ruins games with items. But odnt remove selling items for gold -.-, whts next shutting down Ebay sellers because thats also not a job? Its not fair, if people want to waste their real money on virtual items then why the fark shouldnt they, no doubt they will complain about all the "teenagers on the streets" at the same time.

Wasn't Neversoft's latest non-Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk game western-TPS Gun?

Swtor already will go half free to play in July. You'll be able to play up to level 15 which equals 2 planets and the entire intro story line.
Also traffic has greatly increased. Server transfers went into effect this week, and my server has exploded with people. The main fleet used to average 100 at most, now it easily tops 300+. Doing quests on multi faction worlds is actually a challenge now, because you WILL bump into other players.
So all you WoW perfectionists who have claimed from day 1 "This should be in the game" or "that should already be here"; Shut Up!!!

On one hand, I think such an implementation is a little fair on Koreans because that way it gives most gamers less reason to farm for hours thus preventing the common gamer ailments like carpal tunnel or worse blood clotting on the legs.

If they want to ruin their bodies then let them, smoking is still legal as is drinking.

Springboard still sucks. Still closing my eyes and listening to Jared.
About time SWTOR went F2P. Now I don't have to decide between that and WoW. [=)]
I don't think Neversoft'll provide a plastic gun Jared. They'll probably make you use the Kinect and Move in order to use a grenade. [=)]
