I will be re-downloading this game, only reason I really stopped playing was because my PC just couldn't handle it, however since upgrading I've been looking for a good enough reason to get back into TSW, and this is it.
They should make all MMO's B2P.

and they are stil getting incredible value. in addition to the XP boost item lifetimers also get 20% discount to in game store and $10 EVERY month (for life) to use in the in-game store. win-win. and they also for life get the item-of-the-month.

Awesome news. Totally awesome news. This game needs more players, more new players actually. As it is now, one faction completely dominates the PvP maps, and no one helps "newbs" through the "elite" dungeons in order to reach "nightmare" level, Nothing to do but roleplay or quit (if you're not into roleplaying) when you finish the storyline.

Hmm, it looks like just buying DLC is better than paying a sub, unless you buy clothing all the time. A sub won't give you a content discount, after all. Still, while paying a sub looks less attractive after this conversion (or maybe I'm missing something) a B2P TSW is a fantastic deal. I'm happy they didn't go with a crappy F2P model. They never work. |

Originally posted by JosephJR It's still 14.99$ / Euro so the bigger cost in here doesn't change. I don't know if it's a good move or not. Swapping the steady income to a store-dependent model... I guess we'll see in January the DLC prices and the new items on the line. If we can buy those with the bonus points, then it doesn't change much to the subscribers. Honestly, I hoped for a grandmaster pack sale :) |

Time to dust off the game then, I left around transylvania (because of Venezuelan currency exchange laws I'm limited to how much I can spend online and had run out of the allowance for this year), was planning on going back on jaunary when the allowance renewed itself. Good times indeed.. :)
What can men do against such reckless hate? |

This is awesome news! Nice move Funcom. I will definitely be going back to this one. Now, I can say without any reservation that GW2 is no longer the best game for the money. TSW has taken that spot. A much better game and a true MMORPG. As for the lifers, I still think you are getting an excellent deal with all the free stuff arriving per month for you.
Kudos to all! This is shaping up to be a very good Christmas indeed! Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros |

Very nice move! I think I´ll go buy the game soon and try it out. Always felt boxprice+subscription+cash shop was too much to ask for but B2P+cash shop is fine!
