After not being able to jack - in for a few days I was finally able to do so, but, when I opened the launcher it seems I have access to ALL of the games I have played on the network. even though im only subbed for MxO, i can play on my SWG account and Everquest ( a game I didnt even put 5 mins into before deleting and jacking-in).
Pretty cool huh? Anyone else have the same "problem"? 
Well, yeah. That was the point of us all getting two months free on EQ,EQ2, SWG, and a membership to Free Realms.

That email sucked, I didnt get past the first few paragraphs. But Thank you.

As do I. It doesn't have near enough depth to be my "main" game, but it's a great side game with all of the different activities and the relatively simple and mindless optional combat. It is definitely not to everyone's taste though so I can fully understand those to whom it gave queasy stomachs and/or bleeding eyes.
The ironic thing being, even though all those games seem to be free, I still have no desire to play them.
You can polish a [Certain substance] but it'll still be a [Certain substance].
I'm gonna play the Vanguard trial, cuz I'm masochistic! :D

They actually did that on mythbusters so I can vouch for this!

ahh I C... THought you're talking about the Coca-cola as a polisher for aluminum. 
I tried Vanguard awhile back, it lagged like Hell, and that was on the top of the line system.
I doubt it's much better.

It's not. I couldn't stand playing it for more than twenty minutes. That, and after a short while, I became suspicious that this game was extremely similar to another MMO of SOE's. I think one of the EQs.
Tried Free Realms.... yay microtransactions, WoW graphics ripoff attempt, constant reminders to subscribe, awkward chat/censor system, and fk all to do if you're not interested in squealing as a merry child while frolicking in a field of flowers and bears and huggles.
I played Vanguard on the station pass ( got to lev 16) when it first came out and it was laggy and combat was not too bad but I liked mxo better so I cancelled account, as for the other titles... bah, i'm not going to even bother.

Agreed. It's not too bad. It passes the time. It's free. Meanwhile, I patiently wait for the time when I can slaughter Jedi and their bleeding eyes.
