Subbed to WoW for 5 years, plus boxes (CEs). LTS to STO before F2P conversion, plus box (CE). CE for LotrO before coversion, no sub. 2 months sub to TOR, plus box (CE). CE for WAR, no sub. 9 months sub to DCUO, plus box (CE).
60$ on STO since F2P. ~200$ on Atlantica Online. (got kinda crazy with this one, but I had a ton of fun) 30$ on DCUO since F2P.
Winner(?): P2P Preference: F2P I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil |

For me, P2P by a wide margin.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

P2P. Since DAoC I ALWAYS got new and progressive content updates. And I always got a really good community which shares my playtype. P2P just binds me to the game like I want and those games often had pretty difficult systems and formulas - which were pretty cool because you keep yourself busy with the game and your character. F2P and B2P - both - were pretty cheap ... But I got really disappointened by the community and the repetetive content. Forthermore those are more for casualplayers - Even the class and skill-systems in GuildWars 2 are really, really easy. Its often about "login, have instant fun without preperations, you are free to logout after 30mins"
I play pretty often and long with a guild. I need challange to keep my occupied. I was pretty happy with P2P mmorpgs. |

I wasted the most money on lifetime subscriptions. I'm not strapped for cash, but wish I could have seen the future before investing as much in the games.
Some to mention: Hellgate London, AoC, TSW (Funcom twice... I know)
Now I'm wishing I had spent the money on LOTRO's lifetime option when they had it. That game just happens to be the one which fits my interests right now. |

P2P. Years of WoW will make your wallet lighter.
no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Definitely P2P but I have also spent money on SoE cards to play those games free while unlocking specifics.
In a perfect world we would cross reference this poll with how long each person played a game between F2P and P2P. Of course people would rather pay nothing, or less than across the fence, but how much did it mean? ATM I'm paying a sub though I have the store credits to play multiple F2P games. I don't think P2P is going anywhere even if it's combined with a cash shop for F2P players (SoE). You're already seeing survival tactics by recent F2P conversions such as Aion. Nothing in the MMO sphere worth value is truly F2P and I think more changes will be made to F2P titles to balance the gap between free and operable. Dear developers, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks before I say "meh". It's a shame and I'd rather not do that to something you put so much of yourself in to. |

I haven't spent a penny on an MMO in years, but if I were going to spend any, it would be on subscriptions. I will not ever spend a penny in a cash shop in any MMO, period. I don't care if it's F2P or P2P or B2P, I would never do it under any circumstances.
Played: UO, EQ, WoW, DDO, SWG, AO, CoH, EvE, TR, AoC, GW, GA, Aion, Allods, lots more |
