Why you people continue with this deception how gw2 is f2p game? It is not free you must buy this game to be able to play, you don't have even free trial. Planetside 2 , SWTOR, DC Online are totaly free to play games. According to you all sp games like Crysis or COD are f2p to

HEY! What do you mean, "You people." It's B2P and what people mean by free to play (wrongly) is that there is no subscription fee. If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Gw2 is free to play in that there is no sub fee,You do have to buy it but is better than being charged each month as well,that's why it's called free to play.

Well the biggest difference between f2p game and non f2p game is subscription fees. So people tend to understand all non-subscription games as f2p. I guess right term should be Buy2Play as was used before gw2 release.... dunno why it changed to f2p now (possibly because people discussing it already have the game, so in fact for them it is f2p game now).

F2P are not really F2P either if you want all the content and the best stuff.

Originally posted by johnisme No, that's why it's called buy to play.
Originally posted by biggarfootFallen Earth just laughed at you. EA CEO John Riccitiello's on future microtransactions: "When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not very price sensitive at that point in time...We're not gouging, but we're charging." |

Originally posted by biggarfoot Yes, but you can start to play any of f2p games. GW2 you must buy and still you have some kind of cash shop inside. It is B2P |

Originally posted by zomard100 I'm not sure if I've seen the mistake of people calling GW2 f2p nearly as much as I've correctly seen it called a b2p game (which it is) as such I'm concerned if this really needed an entire thread about it. These types of nitpicks are equivalent to ranting at your mom because she accidentally called you by your brothers name. |

I say its True F2P. You buy the game and you play for free! You have everything and you dont need to buy anything from store. Definately Free to Play

MMOs that require monthly sub (P2P). MMOs that dont (F2P). Whether you have to buy the box or not is irrelevant. I wonder who came up with this B2P MMO category. Playing: Nothing atm My game concept thread: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/369707 (any feedback appreciated) |

Originally posted by mazut It's not true F2P you can't play the game unless you buy the game, how is that F2P? PS2 is a true F2P game, i can download and play the game without needing the cashshop, that's true F2P.  |

Originally posted by biggarfoot I consider those to be 'Freemium' because you can only play a portion of the game for free. Only games where you can play all the content unrestricted for no fee should earn the title 'Free to Play'. Games like Aion. GW2 is not F2P just because it doesn't have a subscription. Lots of online games that are not MMOs don't have subscriptions. You can't play the game for free, it costs $60, therefore it isnt 'F2P. It is B2P like most games are outside the MMO genre. Not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. |

Originally posted by evilastro GW2 is not F2P because it doesnt have a subscription.. WTF.. isnt that the actual definition of a F2P game. Seems like people dont seem to understand what a F2P game is, which is a subscription free game with a cash shop/microtransactions. B2P = is not F2P if it doesnt have a cash shop/microtransactions for the game which basically means that GW2 is F2P game with a box price. how simple does it need to be? |

Originally posted by zomard100 That is correct, it is B2P just like Crysis and COD. There will however be a free trial eventually, GW1 have one. MMOs usually dont get those until a while after launch when the game is a bit updated and the game the devs want it to be. Not sure about GW2 but usually MMOs take 6-12 months to get the free trial. |

What a stupid thread. GW2 has never EVER been labled as F2P It has always been labled B2P get your facts straight OP next time.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |
