From Never F2P To...

[Strychnine]

F2P very rarely is a quality experience, or really have a massive following. GW2 I think is pretty big, but in general it's like when people say: "SWTOR is F2P it's awesome!!"

But typically no one plays it anymore. F2P is a slipperly slope to P2W usually. And i don't see why you would move this game to another model with the server slamming we've had, it's clear people are interested in this game knowing the subscription model is in place. And the more money a company will make on a game, they more quality they'll be placing back into the game. And if not, they'll fail F2P or not really.

This might be already said, just wasn't gonna read 8 pages first to chime in. lol

If this went F2P, they should have just updated the game engine/graphics for FFXI. I woulda gone back to that.

This game isn't really any better than a F2P game. It is nothing special beyond the music and graphics. Everything else is pretty standard.

I think the whole F2P and P2P servers would be the only way I'd be fine with it. Keep the P2P servers exactly as they are, and any F2P players can play on their own servers. (Yes I'd be fine with the duty finder combining players from both ) Let them nickel and dime character slots, the ability to hide your helmet/weapon slots, job mounts, gear set slots, space in that inn-room closet thing, second retainer, all the veteran rewards, etc, just as long as it's only on the F2P servers.

ALL F2P games ends up with horrible service and non-existent updates. The company starts to focus on the cash shop only and nothing else.

Ah ok, so we should take your word over someone thats been doing this for years then, hmm? Something Yoshi has been asked about non-stop since taking charge of the game? One of the big selling points of the game was all just an fabrication by pretty much everyone in here. Gotcha!

Regardless making this game f2p now would result in the same rage if he promised to never do it or not.

Don't get me wrong, I dispise FTP and I hope it will never happen but the man never said he would basically shut down the servers if the game has to go FTP, that's a bold statement. Can't believe people are that naive to think that he would say somethign like that. And looking at the ariticle, the guy didnt even interview Yoshi, he bascially based his article off of another interview and that interview said nothing of the sort.

u know tera started out p2p witch means that once they got enought money they decided to move to other model. jsut goes to show u they want that huge influx first then they may do something, but either way they need to fix the current problems and keep p2p, even becuase if they go f2p its a huge smack into everyones face yet again. and it will only add to the current problems

translation is all wrong

he is stating that eventually as very late around 10 years from now on he might consider going f2p. like final fantay 11.

he did not state that it will go f2p early.

so calm down guys!

XI has never went to F2P and it's going towards 12 years in service.

I prefer P2P to be honest. Maintains the server from the players we don't like to have around as well as brings more content in the future.

Anyone complaining that $15/month is a lot to play this game should really question why they're into this hobby in general and obviously reflect on their financial situation better lol.
