I think SE doesn't care who'll stay or leave, it'll still be a little price for them until 2.0 when everyone will come back to try it out.

Some money > no money
yes, but i think all anyone has been saying is that it just seems to be a strange time to start charging. think about it. you had horrible release reviews, the majority that purchased the game quit within 2 months, complete change in dev leadership, new direction to the game, and more players dropping a few weeks after each patch. they finally started getting some decent reviews, adding new players, and older players coming back to try out the new stuff. you have big named games coming out and directly stating the game is only 50% complete.

that just seems like the perfect storm on the worst possible time in which the payments should have been added. to me if they had held off for even another few updates to get the battle system changes, crafting changes, and server issues taken care of with the positive direction they started in the last 2 patches it would have worked. i just think right now when things were starting to look up was a bad time.
