Tera is a dying mmo ( it has failed in literally every market it has released in) therefor they are going f2p to try to save it. Battle system is probally one of the best in the genre... everything else in that game is horrible. Same as EQ2, SWToR, and many other mmos that were once p2p. The company that made Tera does not have the capital to fix the mess they made. That game has potential but needs so much more work... the investors are getting angry so no more money is flowing in.

If XIV 2.0 loses subs like version 1.0 does they will probably make it free to play and run it on a skeleton crew. Can't cancel a numbered title this soon. If this happens the game is pretty much over though.


Honestly I hope this game just shuts off if it fails. This f2p madness that is spreading needs to stop. The model is just bad for the player and is just so the devs can make a quick buck at players expense. The negatives of F2P (including the fact the game cost more to actually play... so not really free to play) far outweigh the negatives of p2p.
