f2p doesn't mean a game is bad
No game deserves a sub fee anymore
a great game will always have a sub if you asked me, i've played wow 7 years now and i've payed for like 5 years and half with the breaks i took, and tbh i wouldnt like wow being a F2P model
Not being funny mate, have you played it? you cannot judge a game because its going from P2P to F2P
Any P2P game will struggle because there is allot of exultant F2P games out there which they have to contend with.
i havent played it, i will try it today when it goes F2P with my irl friends, but any game that is going from P2P > F2P its ****, not the game itself totally but the people that run it, yes u will get more players being F2P, but that also means more retards and if you are a true free player and dont pay anything then the first **** thing u will hate is the queue, because the people that will pay for premium account or w/e is called here will get in front of free players.
You'd be suprised, a lot of free MMO's have gained a lot of money from the swap. The only one that's not going F2P is Warcraft and that's dropping more and more. (Down from 14million to 8.3mill in 2-3years).
RIFT from what I know is going F2P and offering all the content for free bar cosmetics and other such like. But the main content being free does grip me as to be honest I loved the game, I just didn't have the money to pay for that and other games, so it going F2P is a smart move.
/Zelda
wow never had 14 mill, they had 12 :P, and the numbers are dropping mostly from asia not from eu and us, and if you are a true free player( u wont pay nothing at all) u will have to deal with retarded queue's when you log into rift, the game isnt really bad but imagine the servers being full....
