Turely that is the way they should go. They have a good game I just don't think it falls into the P2P category. Infact I think that 90% of MMOs don't fall into that category anymore at all. Only games like WoW which pull in millions rather than hundreds of thousands truely should stay P2P. I play STO as my main game and since it went F2P it's only gotten better so I'm behind the F2P model these days which is odd since I used to be an avid "P2P supporter".

TERA is B2P though... buy the game and pay your subscription through chronoscrolls, that's the reason most people are still playing, it's essentially F2P for every level 60.

I keep freaking forgetting about that!!! I still havent used my first 30 days that come from buying the game. lol

Or better if PvP actually worked...

Give it a try?!  http://www.picture.im/images/zzzxvx.jpg

I think we should definitely have a Reizla Scholarship for the Best Gaming Prediction of the Year.

      Prediciting MMOs nowadays to go f2p eventually doesn't give one Nostradamus status......In fact the greater talent is prediciting which ones in a couple years will still be p2p......

NO it's not... But at the time everyone here told me I was crazy saying TERA would go F2P because of the BHS picking Frogster as EU publisher and EME using DIgital River (cash-shop handler for most F2P games) as payment processor. Looks like you guys (the nay-sayers at the time) need to see things in their right perspective.

Also note to add:  October 2010 was 15 months before launch... EME did a nice job preparing for F2P before launch :D
