With Eve gone, only sub based MMOs left are FFXIV and WoW

[Pintsized]

The only 2 sub based MMOs left, and in WoW you can buy time with gold.

I really really hope the sub stays in FFXIV long term, because it will only improve the community. There needs to be some barrier of entry.

Just because a game has a sub doesn't make it superior .. FFXIV V1 had a sub.

I always prefer the sub based MMORPGs. It's more honest in my opinion and the sub filters out all the pixel hero kids thus making the community much more enjoyeable.

WOW has a sub and few would accuse its' community as "enjoyable", long before you could buy time with in-game currency, which of course you have to sub for some time in order to acquire enough to pay for all your game time.
