Free to Play vs Pay to Play Ideas

[Renshi]

Well, if it's Free to Play I have fun but not convenience. Just see League of Legends, it's free to play and you have to wait like from half an hour to even 2-5 hours to log in.

If it's Pay to Play, you are sure you'll receive a good service and you'll have fun with convenience. Just like Xbox 360 Gold: You have to pay for it, but you're sure you're playing with quality.

In conclusion, let them decide. I believe they're going to let this game be Pay to Play, because... dang, they took a whole lot of time and will to take this game at the state we have now, and they didn't do few.

Even if you are paying for it, it does not guarantee good service, although it should. I'm sure several people that have played pay to play games will agree with this statement one way or another. And just because a game is free to play doesn't mean that it has terrible service either. We are talking about Square Enix here and a final fantasy game. It sounds like it should be pay to play, but I'm not sure if the game is lending itself to a pay to play crowd with it's casual encouraged environment.

Nah, I beg to differ.
I payed for WoW and the service was great.
I payed for Aion and the only bad thing was the beginning (first 2-3 months) where you had to wait like 2-9 hours to log into the game (NCSoft apologized by giving free playtime, if I remember correctly).
I payed for a Minecraft server for like 3 months, and it was running like rainbows on the sky, perfectly.
Then my credit card couldn't stand it and I had to down that server, backed up my datas and built a home-made server for Minecraft =)

So you can say that:
Using a free service gives you a 40-50% of reliability.
Paying for a service gives you a 90-100% of reliability.
Obviously, it depends on which company you're giving money to.
