Not according to the numbers.

It looks like F2P players are spending more, and therefor supporting their respective game more than subscribers.

You don't think companies have adopted F2P out of the kindness of their hearts, do you? They do it because it makes money, because it is not only financially viable, but in some cases superior to the subscription model.

Wow's barrens chat is an icon of online immaturity and anonymous chaotic internet gaming, but here it's being held up as a paragon of maturity and exclusivity just to push an agenda.

Say anything as long as you get what you want. That is TRUE entitlement.

LotRO - Turbine. Very customer friendly company... probably the best MMO company.

I can even buy the Riders of Rohan expansion with my Lotro in game points.

Who does that?

Sony? No

Cryptic? No...

I still think it's hilarious how often "Kill 10 rats" gets mentioned, and how I can't really think of a single MMORPG that actually has a quest where you kill 10 rats.  WAR maybe?

LOTRO apparently has a quest to kill 10 rats in Isengard Keep.

Dark Ages (an older MMO) had a quest to kill 10 rats, I remember that one because it was my first MMO.

There's a quest in Rift in the Necropolis to kill 10 rats also.

And there's this one in Allods.  Exactly 10.

And those are the ones I found in about 3 minutes of research.  There are a few not even worth mentioning like Endless Online.

Right, but how many of those are instances of self-awareness?

Did the event create the meme or did the meme create the event. (10 rats specifically, not kill X quests in general of course)

What i find a bit bizzar is so many people playing it that hit this forum and complain about logging in but said the game would suck, why play a sucky game , oh wait.. ;)

On another note I do find it odd I have had 3 request from old guilds saying "we are going to neverwinter" sleeper hit i guess, I won't dive into it but alas interesting.

¿que bizzar?

Does the bizzar have a queue?

Exactly. 65% of us chose Sub with no cash shop; everyone else is spread out amongst the other choices. Clear winner. And this is considering those F2P lovers probably have multiple MMORPG accounts.

If you're that twisted up inside about someone buying some virtual doodad that gives him and advantage over you in a game...

You're no winner.

You're confusing hype and reputation.

Hype is what got him to 1.3, reputation is what is keeping him from 2

Don't care.

Too many people are worried about pay2win nonsense. Who cares? If they want to subsidize you playing for free why does it bust your chops? You mad because rich people have advantages over you? Welcome to capitalism, kid.

Don't want to pay the company for their work? think they should release a game for free because that's how all the others are doing it? Think that Buy2Play is too much money? Welcome to capitalism, kid.

Hate Pay2Play schemes that nickle and dime you for things other games give you for free? Then don't play! You aren't entitled to play this game just because your buddies are! live with the restrictions or pony up the dough. Welcome to capitalism, kid.

It's all the same folks, it's YOU and your CRYING that is the only difference between the business models.

grammer nazi.

A key element of game design is WRITING. If you are not skilled at it, you will never be a game designer.

The first resume you turn in with a work example consisting of;

i wuz makin teh gamez when i was twelf. I would of starting early but muh daddy wouln;t buy teh notezbook.

Will get you dumped before anyone ever even considers your game concepts.

GrammAr nazi? No, just the correct way of doing it.

Would have.

Would of is nonsense.

I'm too scared that if I gave money to that kickstarter I would ultimately be responsible for a death when the owner of that kickstarter uses up all the funds and overdoses...

Then again...I would be part of history as a donator of the first crowd sourced suicide played out on social media... hmm...

"Oh sure some of them might have been older than my great grandpappy and online for "nefarious" purposes"

Right, because old people don't play video games.

This is no different than racism or sexism... and you know what word that is? Well I can't say it about Age discrimination or the Moderator will edit my post. Sound fair to you?

Sex sales, blame the people buying, they create the market.

Sex sells. Sex sales is related, but... different.
