likely lose that part of the player base, while yes attracting those more akin to the f2p system.
Id really hope SE would rather a consistent income and security from subs they know will come as in times past. rather than a bunch of people who will come
along sink a little money in it on month one and either leave with no real investment to stay or possibly not buying anything again.
But who knows, its like Stompa said, this is a classic game, people do enjoy it as is as many did when the updates had stoped previously
But SE foolishly catered for those who demanded everything easy and on a plate, which drove away a lot of people, and now that the updates are stopping
all those who demanded everything was given to them will leave, they cant have their new easy to obtain shinny s every month.
So I really do hope SE learned and wont add f2p and screw over their current player base, because imo it will die even faster if they do.
