If they are going this way then the money they are making from f2p AoC isn't that spectacular.

Yeah! Monthly points expire after 6 months! How awesome! I love this new model for F2Pers but if you bought a lifetime and have to spend your points or lose them every six months and you get no discount on DLC, it kinds sucks. Just one more example of why lifetime subs and supporting these game companies usually comes around to bite you in the butt. Not only do you lose your right to vote with your wallet but you are also stuck in whatever crazy F2P model they launch. Seriously, points expire after 6 months? Who does that?  |

Where's bcbully? Hasn't he chimed in yet? I expect he'll do cartwheels.
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 |

Originally posted by Siveria So, uh.. they shouldn't get paid for working hard to create new content? You should just get it for nothing because you paid 30-50 for an already complete game with tons of content. Wow... I don't think you can make this deal much fairer, to be honest. |

Originally posted by Talonsin I'm sure if enough lifers complain this will get changesd to points for ever. If it doesn't non-Lifers will be reluctent to spend money as they will be wondering how the company can crap on them also. The nobody wins, neither Funcom or us. |

Originally posted by Talonsin 6 Months is plenty of time to log in at least once and spend your points. If you don't log in for over 6 months, well, then I guess the game isn't important to you and therefore it doesn't really matter.

Originally posted by mbd1968 I have lifetime and already made my views clear about this on the official forums, it's the only negative thing in my opinion and hope it gets changed so they dont expire (even if they add a cap), otherwise it’s a great move and a great model. The people playing SWTOR with all its restrictions they have must be scratching their heads right about now. |

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. |

I logged in and all I can say was wow, looks like everybody else did there is so many players at argartha that its lagging hard. I never seen this many players at this time of the day when I left. I got to say swtor should have went this route, they would have gotten less hate.

This is a very very positive change in my book. |

Originally posted by GR3NDEL I don't like FC much for a plethora of reasons, and having this game sub+store+box price mmo was one of them. This is what I said earlier in the first B2P topic: "Good model for new people to pick it up. Lifers get shafted a bit, but overall I like it." I've done the trial and will probably even buy it now from some christmas sale. The story is good so I'm willing to give FC ~20e for it. |

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. |

Downloading the updates as we speak. I always thought TSW was a good game, just wasnt worth a subscription because I no longer feel subscription is the way to go in todays market. Its much easier to get your revenue from a good cash shop with non-P2W items such as boosts, convience items and costume items. If any game was made for costume items its TSW's apparel shop.
If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

So if I bought TSW at launch I essentially have F2P now but if I bought ToR at launch I'm treated like a disabled kid in a wheelchair.

This is so fricken awesome! I really wish they had done this from the start because I think their fortunes would have been vastly different. I also wish rift would have done this shift with Storm Legion. I think they missed an opportunity with that. Anyway, I really hope this is a success for them. I am definitely going to see about purchasing this one. The $30 for the box price is very sweet. Great job Funcom. |

This is a great model and I really hope FC is successful with it. I'm a lifetimer and 6 months is plenty of time to spend your monthly points. I dont feel shafted at all, props to FC |

I just checked my Funcom acct and still have 600 points left over from AoC. Did I mention this is awesome. I've wanted to play a game with this sort of theme.
