This game should of been a planned free 2 play. AoC has made a killing going F2P and if they would of continued to slip out content (MINIGAMES) They probably would still be making money. Now they release this with GW2 (which is F2P) right around the corner, its silly. They could of locked some of the 9 weapon types and sold them in a cash shop. Apperance can be appealing in this game that could of been a cash shop hot item. They dropped the ball here and although once again Funcom will make out like a bandit at launch, I feel bad for those that dropped big mponey for lifetime subs and subs for year etc etc and when it goes F2P (which it will numbers dont lie) you will end up getting shafted just like they did to those VET players on AOC. I played the beta and thought it was awesome and innovative but definately not worth a 10 dollar + sub. |

The minute it goes F2P is the minute I've lost all respect for Funcom.

Do you have the magical sliding scale that shows the amount of content needed for each dollar on the tier? 5.99/month on up?
Let me have a gander at it.

It is planned F2P, Thats why they are charging money for every breath you take. When it fails they just remove sub and box price then VIOLA!!!! the game becomes well populated and they earn more money as f2p. "in peace, in sleep under the barren, abandoned soil"

I'm fine with that...to a point. Just don't let a single freeloader go from level 1 to max level without paying a cent.

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

Rojo beat me to it. TSW is built to be F2P, but they are going to milk a box price + sub fee out of those who buy the game over the course of the next 3-6 months or so, then they will pull the trigger and make it F2P. Playing: Nothing Played: AC1, AC2, AO, AoC, CO, CoX, DAoC, DCUO, DN, EVE, EQ1, EQ2,

Yea sure how about more than three pvp event, how about documented end game that will be there at launch. How about a road map of things to come for justification as to why I should be paying a sub in the first place. These are a couple of things off the top. |

If they go F2P, I hope that every bit of new content like new boss raids, new pvp areas, new maps... ALL go into the cash shop. Why? Because those stuffs are expensive to develope, and income from selling RP items wont cut it. Besides, why should RP'ers pay while the rest don't? :P

Originally posted by rojo6934 When it fails. The MMORPG community is all doom and gloom, isn't it? Everyone has their own agenda, I guess. Charging money for: Slots beyond 3. Not a new practice (See FFXI) Pre-Launch name reservations beyond one. The fact that one is already provided is more than most do these days. and Various "Upgrade Packs" starting in cosmetic and early-game (QL1-3) gear and culminating in a lifetime sub. It's launching with a clothing store. The wonderful thing about all of this? It's optional.
.. But in a good way. |

Originally posted by WildNature if i pay for the retail box i dont see why i shouldnt do that. And if it goes free for all, then they can make a smarter move than they did with conan also "in peace, in sleep under the barren, abandoned soil"

Paying for the box, you are paying for the content in the box. So at best you could/should go min level to max level solo.

Yea that would be a perfect model. DLC packs meant for max level only and "side" stuff. That's how I believe DLC's should be run as well. As purchasable end game content.
