Return to Sw:ToR

I recently tried to play as it was apparently 'free'. What a joke. 90% of the game has to be bough through microtransations.

A warning to anyone wanting to play. Don't.

At max level yeah there's a fair bit that needs MT or sub. Other than that it's one of the best F2P models around.

Not hating on the game but it's 1 of the worst F2P models, Guild Wars 2/WildStar both use pretty much the same model which is a lot better.

So there are 1, maybe two depending on how wildstar turns out that are better? In the grand scheme of things...

I reinstalled this yesterday and tried to shamble around on my level 50 sith juggernaut. Not pretty. Not pretty at all.

It really isn't. Even as an occasional player who has preferred status from subbing for 6 months at launch it's hugely restrictive, and the full F2P model is even worse.

They are the only 2 I've really looked at, but can you link any that are worse than ToR?

Also the Wildstar model is better regardless of how the games fares since going f2p.

I went back for a couple of weeks not long ago. But then I tried ESO and have stuck with that

While I have never thought the Sw:TOR F2P model is the best, its also not the most restrictive, there is very little you cannot do in the game that you can as a subscriber, they just limit how much you can do, yes I think they a little bit nickle and dime, but that side, I think the game has improved hugely and IMO, is the best MMO out there right now.

Guild wise since we back the guild has over 50 in, but still not feeling like a guild, and unless get a few more social people in think we may just not make it!

I completely disagree but this isn't the thread for it, sorry for derailing it.

Well rather be what ever you prefer playing (as you could be on it a lot!) though if I had to say, I would think smuggler/trooper healers

Rep, most of then guild still; levelling, though I run raids most days, still mostly pugs, but more and more of the guild is joining.

Once we got enough 60's, will go to 3 raid nights a week on a 2 hour run (fixed set time)

Will maybe have to look for a new raid leader as not sure our old one is coming back, just had a kid so ..

(I do not have the temperament to lead raids!
