Lonely Star Wars Companion Begs Me To Return To Old Republic

Electronic Arts may be bragging about the sales and subscription numbers for its recently launched MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, but apparently not everything in the galaxy is good. Today I received the e-mail above begging me to log back in to The Old Republic on behalf of my imperial agent's favored companion, Kaliyo.

For the record, my Old Republic account is still active; I just haven't had time to log in over the last three or four weeks. While it totally makes sense for EA and BioWare to use story appeal to pull players back in, I can't help but feel a little creeped out by this. I mean, yeah, I kind of miss Kaliyo, but she's just a character...right?

Damn it, I'll log on tonight. You win, EA.

    if this is what they will do to keep people logged in, i hate to see what they will do when subscriptions run out.

    Not as appealing as Dorne.

    Obviously SWTOR isn't what people thought it was going to be if they're sending out e-mails like this.

    .... really. If I saw that in my inbox, I'd prolly just ignore it. Creative creepy indeed.

    Lolol definitely creepy... Truth is the game hasn't been seeing a lot of hours logged in. A lot of people think it gets boring quick... Maybe not boring enough to unsubscribe, but not enough there to keep you coming back at every chance you get.
