If you search for it, you could probably find one. But seriously though, the game is AAA quality, and it's free. Send $5 on something, and they give you an upgraded account. That seems perfectly fair. To say that there's too many restrictions to be feasible is just insulting.

I have played on the free accounts and it actually isn't so locked that it is unplayable. It is actually pretty open. And as @ChromeYeti said, spend 5$ and you get an upgraded account.  Buy the game for 8$ and you get the game and a month subscription.

 

There seems to be a lot though, so I'll just leave this here:

Game is fun for a bit. They shut down AUS servers though, so I can't play any more.

I never did finish the story for any of my characters. I think I made it the furthest with my bounty hunter.

 

The game is just too much of a WoW clone for me. I don't like standing there pressing the attack button over and over while waiting for cooldowns to end. It's mind-numbing. I hope Bioware makes the KotOR 3 everyone wants someday.

Did you play WoW? I played WoW for a long time and it was nothing like a WoW clone. If what you didn't like is just what MMOs are like then that doesn't make it a WoW clone, it's just the genre.

The combat is pretty much exactly like WoW the only difference was that it was more pseudo turn-based (like KotOR), where WoW is a little more real-time. Though the basic mechanics are still the same. You use up whatever special abilities you currently have, and then spam your main attack button while the cooldowns for your stronger abilities reset. Repeat ad nauseum. Not to mention nothing really matters with the exception of your chosen skills. No matter what gear you choose to use, you're still using the same abilities over and over depending on your character and class.

 

And no, every MMO is not like that. Elder Scrolls Online is not like that. Planetside 2 is not like that. Lineage Eternal will not be like that.

 

They said they wanted to be different from most other MMOs like WoW, and really the only difference is the fact that Bioware does a better job at telling stories (which is to be expected, really).

 

Please explain how the core mechanics of the game are actually any different from WoW...

Eh, imo just felt very different to play. Much more clunky and just didn't seem WoW-like to me.
