My WOW annual pass is finally up. So i cancelled prompty. This will be my last sub game (MMO or otherwise).
Not that i don't play F2P games before, but now .. it is all F2P for all the MMOs i will play.
Looks like TSW may go F2P in the future too .. anyone want to venture a guess of when that will happen?

Oderint, dum metuant.
I am waiting for TSW to turn F2P too. The other one i am waiting for is Marvel Heroes.
But in the mean time, it is not like there is a lack of games to play. Still playing D3, PS2 is still fun particularly i am getting better at head shotting people. And i have a tons of SP games to finish.
Don't worry. I will join the majority of MMO players in the US, and pay nothing. I will let teh whales to subsidize my gaming. It is not like i haven't play F2P before, jsut that i have to wait till my annual pass is over before killing the last sub.
That's fine, I'll rephrase my wording then.
"Good luck on being treated as a second-class citizen in every game."
The only reason developers keep you non-paying players in F2P games is to entertain the paying demographic.
Quality is obviously in the eye of the beholder. But i found enough free games taht are fun.
PS2 is fun for me.
DCUO is fun for me.
TSW looks good.
Marvel Heroes looks *really* good .. a Marvel Ultimate Alliance type game without a fee!!!!
So it is not like there is a lack of fun games taht are free (for me at least).
Of course. It is only fair that the pay customers goet some advantage, don't you think?
100% accurate.
They do provide a lot of entertainment...as they are willing to risk more with said free account.

Like I said, if you enjoy being a second-class citizen in every game and hop from game to game F2P is a viable alternative, but don't pretend like this is a good deal.
Players who don't spend a dime in a F2P game are kept in the game for one reason and one reason only, it is to entertain the paying customers, once your function is up, usually after about 1 month into the game, the power of the cash shop items increases and you become irrelevant.

If the people not paying anything are having fun, what difference does it make why the developers are keeping the players?
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Why isn't it a good deal when i am having fun paying nothing?
Games are not that important that i need to pay for attention. I play PS2 a bit now .. and it is a great deal. Very fun. Now if i want the newest sniper rifle, i can pay $7 to get it now, or wait for weeks. It is still fun without it.
So i really don't care the reason ... as long as i have some fun. And i probably will be gone before a month is up anyway. It is not like there is a lack of other games to play, right?
The funny thing is that i am more than capable to deciding how to have fun, and some will come in speaking as if i won't be having any fun.
Well ... if i am not .. i will do something else .. duh!
Cause you have nothing invested in said game.

Charging a player money for a game they don't have fun playing isn't going to make the game fun to play. If a player is having fun in a game, they will invest time into the game, even if they don't spend money on the game.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Of course not? Why would i? I have lots of fun with lots of games without investing much. So?
I always have one sub game and one free game that I go back to--(server down/ game breaking glitches/ etc., etc.) =]
Current sub game: TSW
Current free game: LoL with full skins for 6 toons.

I'm the exact opposite. I refuse to play F2P games. I just cancelled my TSW account which I had just recently reactivated due to it jumping on the F2P nonsense bandwagon.
It's allready gone f2p. Just received an email from them.

That's exactly what I was thinking. As a newly disabled person I can't work, nice to see people assume that everyone can and that no one has health issues and that poverty is the only driving force behind F2P games right?
Lol, exactly!

That statement would only be accurate if the sub games were higher quality. As history as shown, they aren't.
