their argument against ARR is to compare it to WAR, RIFT and GW2?

lollllllll NEXT

as far as f2p vs. p2p, people saying p2p is dying is ridiculous. WoW is a statistical outlier in the p2p market, and maple story is a statistical outlier in the f2p market. keeping that in mind, a quick look at the numbers on mmodata.net shows us that, miraculously, p2p is still doing *more than fine*

and in fact, the average top-end p2p MMO has more active users than the average top-end f2p MMO.

GW2 was supposed to be the revolutionary f2p nail in the coffin for p2p, and it only sold 2-3 million units and has already lost at least half its players. how in the world is this any argument against p2p?




p.s. can anyone show me a f2p MMO with a deep, challenging and involving pve endgame? thought so. f2p is fine if all you want to cater to is the casual demographic. but you certainly won't be keeping many hardcores or midcores.
