Scared about ARR

[Ramesses]

Best response image I've seen on these forums in a while.

People want FTP? Or are scared it will go FTP? Can you image how much resources, effort, manpower and technological innovation that SE threw into this game over the past five years? And now some "children" want it to be free to play because their monthly allowance won't cover the subscription fee? Seriously?

Games like Aion (and eventually TERA in the NA and EU regions) went FTP because they didn't go multi-platform, didnt have a versatile end-game content, and because (if their publishers continue with their plans) the online cash shop AND the massive Chinese market ensures that they will stay afloat financially. That's where the purchasing power for a LOT of things resides these days.

Yet again, I repeat... a handful of certain demographics are feeling a little too smug in their assumptions that they are needed for this game to be successful. Show some bloody dignity, stop requesting a "freebie" and properly support the game.
