MMOReport Mention in Microtransaction Discussion

In the discussion about the Star Wars: The Old Republic testing applications, we were mentioned in an aside about the possible micro-transactions reference in the agreement which you have to accept upon signing up. Description of what was discussed during the episode:

Funcom has been forced to delay The Secret World due to lay-offs, Star Wars: The Old Republic has started accepting beta applications, and WTF Second Life finds a billion dollars have been exchanged in Second Life since it began. You figure out which one of those is the good news.

You can find the mention at the 3:15 mark. Thanks for the mention guys ;).

Hat tip to SavageDaddy for the heads up.

Embed after the jump.

    really nice stuff, i should watch that kind of stuff more often >.> i dont think ive ever laughed so much for a news-rreport thingy, if ever it gets close.

    ill admit micro-transaction for swtor is the only thing freaking the hell out of me. if not well handled it could ruin the whole game...why not settle for the simpler tried-and-true monthly subscrition ?

    They mentioned in the vid that Bioware is looking for people who are active in the community to test. Is that true? I thought you just had to be registered on the forums and post count was irrelevant.

    To the best of my knowledge, BioWare hasn't said anything about your level of activity altering your chance of being selected. This could just be speculation from G4, but to be honest we don't know for certain.

    They have said and stated multiple times that people who offer good feedback will be considered for further testing, which is probably why G4 used the word "active" in place of that.

    ya i dont think post count will have a very big effect on whether your chosen or not. Some people in the forum who post a lot are not very.....bright ;).

    Some sections of the forums also encourage loads of posts, such as RP and Off-Topic.

    I certainly hope post count is irrelevant because mine is like 5.

    Post count is not what they are looking for.

    I hope Bioware handles microtransactions well, they can easily ruin a game
