Well all the pre-orders come with 30 days game time, plus early access (don't know if that's included in the 30 days). That should be enough time to decide if you want to subscribe, and if you don't you've still had a month's worth of game just for the box price, no worse than a lot of other games really.naughty99 wrote...

"It costs a monthly fee" - How often does Activision release a new map pack for their games. How much money does additional DLC cost? You're paying 15 bucks a month for ongoing support and continual patching. As soon as you stop playing, you're no longer stuck paying 15 bucks...they keep your character on file, and you can sign up again in the future.
I understand you have a certain perspective on this having had some experience playing other MMOs.
At the same time, there are many of us who have never played any MMOs before, but are fans of Bioware games and Star Wars and were considering buying TOR, until we learned about the price a couple days ago.
it's a bit difficult for some of us to wrap our heads around paying $240 for this game for one year because we have never played any games with a monthly subscription fee.
I would think there'll be some sort of trial post launch too --doubt it would be 30 days though, probably the standard 10-- either way it's not as though they're asking for a year long subscription right out of the gate.
