To those still with us - Who's going to continue playing?
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:23 am
Looking at my calendar today (Fri 13th) I have exactly 5 weeks left before my 6 month recurring sub comes to an end. I have enjoyed myself a lot more since we moved server. I did more pvp on my marauder in the first few days of moving alone than I managed to do in several weeks back on Bloodworthy as it was dying. Playing a couple of republic characters has admittedly been a refreshing change too. There's no doubt about it, had we stayed on Bloodworthy where pretty much all of the game became inaccessible or unusable besides the class story content I would most definitely have unsubbed already as there wouldn't have been any point.. So whatever I do it has been nice to get an extra month or two play out of the game at the very least and I know our guild is safe on a populated server with no chance of it getting shut down or whatever.
I do still enjoy my pvp to a degree too but I will admit, my interest in general is starting to dwindle again. I'm also aware that 1, maybe 2 people of the few that we have left may not be resubbing which will bring our numbers down some more. - Whilst I'm on that subject I'll also say that it's quite sad that so many seemed to stop playing and yet never said a word, just disappeared. I guess some of us are just different
I haven't yet decided whether I will resub again next month. My plan changes every other day tbh. When I've been enjoying myself immensely I can't imagine not resubbing, especially when I want to see upcoming events/content and I do like having other guildies around. Then some days I will feel mixed, others it will seem unlikely that I will. I also wouldn't want to let my sub auto renew itself to later realise that several others aren't resubbing, especially as I have to take into account that my subscription plan isn't some £8.99 jobbie or a 17.99 gamecard but 6 month subs are nearly 50 quid. When it comes down to it I wouldn't have subbed in the first place if it wasn't for the group so whilst knowing who will or won't be resubbing won't be the only deciding factor for me it will be high on my list.
So to those of you still with us. Who plans to continue subbing past mid August, who doesn't think they'll be resubbing when theirs expires or who feels there's a chance that they may not?
I'm asking for two reasons really.
1. To gauge just how many of us will still be playing. If there's only going to be a couple of us left playing I likely won't bother resubbing, if there's even a possibility that some of you may not be then I'll be taking that into account too.
2. If I decide not to resub I want to make sure that I can leave the GM spot in the hands of someone who's not only responsible but who will remain active once my sub has expired. However small/inactive our group has become If this is what I decide I don't want to leave those of you who are staying with an inactive person in the GM spot. Seeing who is going to continue to sub past August will allow me to decide this in advance just incase.
Few other things I'll have to think about too is that Guild Wars 2 releases just 11 days after my TOR sub is due for renewal, which I pre-purchased some time ago. Planetside 2 beta is also due to start opening up within the next month as well which I have a beta key registered for. These two alone will deduct significant gaming time away from what I have spent with TOR up until now.
Not just those 2 either but from next month all the way to the end of the year there's Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Rocksmith PC, Hitman Absolution, Assassin's Creed III & Far Cry 3 all of which I'll be wanting to play on release too. Leads me to wonder whether it will even be worth me paying for another 6 month sub considering all of those upcoming titles, regardless of how many people are staying or whether I'm still enjoying the game. Those aren't counting the PS3 games I'm currently working my way through either lol. Lots to consider heh....
