P2P deemed to die *looks at lineage, wow, ro1/2, eso, ffxi* .. and a lot more that I can't remember on the top of my head. But I do think Everquest, Eve Online, Terra too still cost something.

those free to play games often have those "buy this now for only 100 bucks and you will be better" so pay to win. I rather pay x $ per month than having to fork out random amounts for gear so I can do stuff.
A reason why I never touched several games that would look awesome otherwise.

I already do "pay to win" at magic in buying good cards, but at least I can resell them for near same amount or more of money. Today nobody will give you money for a sword you could buy for 100 bucks 4 years ago.
