i agree with you i think it will be good to build the community up for the game and keep it going just like runescape with a few restrictions the ftp will end up paying after a while bring on the new content

I hold the admittedly harsh view that F2P is for the MMO’s that can’t hack it as a subscription MMO–aka aren’t on the level of WoW, RIFT, and others that are surviving and even thriving on such a model. I know that’s not very ‘nice’ to F2P games, but there are very few F2P MMO’s that are anywhere near the quality of subsciption ones.

I don’t really grasp why F2P is such a bad thing. I have the option of paying less money and they timed this news with the promise of some juicy new content. I for one welcome our new F2P overlords.

I have to say, after I’ve finished reeling…this makes me pretty irritated. Pissed, actually. They’re as much as saying ‘we failed, and in order to survive as we are we have to go F2P’ instead of improving it to subscription standards. I don’t know how I’ll feel about this in the morning–who knows, maybe I’ll be more accepting–but as it is, I’m pretty upset.
