I wish they would just make the game free already.

I wish they would just make the game free already.
That would be fantastic Numquam. But I do have the same beliefs as others. While the game is older and it's almost time for that, I really would hate for the typical F2P crowd to show up and ruin the game.
The game being free would be horrible because the entire way they make money from it would have to flip and change into a typical F2P system, you still would have to spend money, or we would never get updates because they would not have money to pay people to work on them. This game in particular would lose more people, gain hardly any most likely due to the rough starts and lack of advertisement it has always had, and the fact that as we lose more people, SE makes less money, and the game shrinks even more.
The idea of it being free comes from the idea of not paying monthly, but even if we don't pay monthly, someone has to pay for something, it will just change to in game items, and that change will lose people, which loses money not likely to be fully recovered by the shift, which makes it an overall bad idea.
I was also able to log in on December 9th. The listed start dates are the 10th and 11th. A lot of confusion surrounding this event..
I suspect that the link you posted only applies to the bonuses listed on that page, and free subscriptions are ending slightly late.
