I don't see an issue with this. Reading the post launch official forums should remain visible to the world for the purpose of learning about the game. Participating in this community by posting on the forums should be locked to paying subscriptions. Bottom line, if a person doesn't pay for the service, their opinion is not warranted. To those who feel that purchasing the game should grant access... it will, for 30 days. After that, you should need a subscription.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes. Many many other games do this. You can view whatever you want, but you can't post unless you own and play the game. Would be a good change.

100% agree with OP!

So no worry then. We will just as in this forum see people discuss something unimportant page after page after page. And we have to pay for it. Oh joy!

I'm fine with this idea. Although as others have said, allowing people to read and search is probably a good idea. Also, allowing them to post in the tech support forum (assuming there is one) is not something I'd be against.

True there are some naysayers who actually will play but some of the most vehemet opposers of the game, at least on these forums, have already stated they wont play.Yet they keep posting daily, dont figure.Yes i think the official forums should be sucriber only access.

Totally agree on this.

Concur. At this point, I can no longer post in the SWTOR forums, though I still have an account with which I can view discussions.

don't be so hasty not everyone is trolling or complaining...trying to shut yourself off from them is naive and will not be good for the community. keep it open there are enough people trying to control parts of the net..we don't need anymore.

It don't matter what you or any other have to say about this anyway, the decision has already been made and executed. See below:

Thank you for this post.

oh well no rp post section
