Isn't there another post about FoM pulling the plug, kind of makes this thread redundant and thus proving my point, it couldn't have been that good of a game.

Having a trial is the worst thing they could do. With no trial, they still get the occasional uninformed person who pays for the game for the first month at least. With the trial, they'll just be cementing their position as a POS to a larger section of the mmo world. The trial will kill the game, servers overloaded by people tring it and noone sticking around to pay, so they have to absorb the bandwidth cost. Buh-bye, FOM.

I used to play the BETA and had a lot of fun doing it. I had actually gained a lot of money on that game and I was absolutely gutted when it changed to a pay-to-play but what was I to expect. I do think the game will end up like Anarchy Online though as they did the free trial thing and ended up with an immense amount of players on their servers and many of the "froob" players upgraded their accounts for the extras so FunCom raked the money in.

YES, I also want the game return to the past section, now there are only small number of people  who are playing the game, so I feel a little bored.

FoM is a great game, Through out Beta, newbs quit because the game wasnt newb friendly...some people left due to the crappy gfx and the bad servers...

Most of the people who left never came back and tried the game again....so they never saw the changes that was made to counter all the reasons people left.

There was also the hardcore fom players who saw any move to be more newb friendly as carebearing teh game...And that might be true, but as what would any of us prefer a game that shuts down because only a few people will play it, or a game that doesnt shut down?

FoM owns, and I wont even bother with the free account, going to pay as soon as possible.....But free acounts are a good idea, as i remember DPS talked about free accounts over a year ago....But with one problem or another never got around to it...
