Yeah I have five level 80 characters on AoC. I never want to see Tortage again. Actually getting to 80 in Conan is kind of rough, but the end game and the faction stuff is really solid.
Tera is kind of the opposite at this point. Leveling up your character and learning how to do everything is super fun, but once you hit max level and get all your T-12 stuff from the group dungeons.... the faction stuff and raiding is pretty bad.
look here, upon a sig graveyard.
...thank god. I searched, didnt see, figured i was doing something wrong. Lol.
SWTOR getting legit free-to-play option in the fall.
So like, this has to be the biggest bomb in gaming history right?
I gotta say I downloaded the free trial and wasn't arsed to play it a 3rd time. I deleted it the day after the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend ended.
Nobody cares about your predictions.
I really like what they're calling the new F2P currency: Cartel Coins
Not necessarily. Many MMOs have no real new content in a long time and even afterwards are very spread out in releases, they're basically just content to run the servers and keep the subscription money that is there coming in. EA is probably still looking to get this thing big again and was probably using the free levels as a test to see what kind of response they would get. It was likely overall very positive to the point where they think they can pull in more customers and make more money using a cash shop than they can having subscription fees.
The potentially worrisome aspect is that p2p to f2p models tend to have hiccups and stupid limiters on them, because the developers don't want to screw over the idiots that bought lifetime subscriptions and some people are still willing to pay $15/month anyway. So it'll probably end up with some stuff locked away like character slots and areas that are available to paying customers.
