I'm still up in the air... as far as I know, Apone will be there when it ends.... he's just taking a break right now.

[BCBrent]

To be honest, I can't see myself giving any more money to SOE, especailly with having been out of a job for a while.  I enjoyed the time I spent playing it but unless SOE gives me something in return I can't see myself coming back anytime soon.

[Stugots]

If they offer it free....well, yah.
