Scared about ARR

[Enma]

Just read that Tera is going free to play in the US and EU, and people are commenting that they give ARR from 4 to 8 months after release to follow the same route as all the other MMO's the last years...

I fear for the mindset of the population, not about the quality of the game, that may force it's demise...

You shouldn't fear it. In the last years many MMOs have been forced to change their market plan to avoid bankrupt. There 2 main reasons to change from P2P to F2P:

1) An old game that is losing players, and want to keep them up as long as possible.
2) A failed game.

When FFXI will be Free to Play then you'll have a good reason to worry.

This is the most valuable proof about what I'm saying. I don't want to talk about P2P vs F2P, but if players pay a monthly fee and the game is full of people, there won't any reasons to change and go F2P.
