SWtOR was made under EA

Fortunately EA wasn't as bad back then, and more fortunately development was already underway for almost two years by the time EA bought Bioware

I mean, that's just not true? I hoped on tor the other day for nostalgia and still had access to everything from back when I used to play. For free.

Or you could just subscribe for a month to turn off the escrow system and get all credits back?

Do what I do, put your credits into your legacy box. Once I sub I have like 50 million credits waiting for me.

I’m pretty sure you can just sub to withdraw all the money

Maybe it was like that forever ago, but I have had credits go to escrow multiple times only to sub and get them back and I’ve been playing since 2020. Buy a sub and you’ll get your credits back

It's literally never worked the way he said lol. He encountered a bug and instead of trying to fix it or asking customer service for help, he decided to hold a grudge for years and slander the game when it comes up. Quite the choice lol

Escrow is only for F2P players. If you sub you instantly get access to everything.

It should automatically withdraw it once the game register you are subbed

It does.

That is definitely not supposed to happen, I've subbed multiple times after long periods of being preferred status and I got my escrow credits back every time. If you still care enough you can probably put a ticket in with support and get your credits back.

And if you had googled that for all of 5 minutes you would see that that isn't what is supposed to have happened and you probably could have contacted customer service to resolve it?
