Swords of Legends Online Drops Patch Notes Ahead Of Tomorrow's Release | MMORPG.com
Swords of Legends Online releases in the West tomorrow, and to give players a leg up the team at Gameforge has dropped some patch notes ahead of the launch in the morning.

I don't think it will go F2P, even with the (expected in every game) population drop off, as the game has been operating as pay to play in China for the past few years and moving the EU/NA version to F2P would mean that the developers would need to support the (very healthy) chinese P2P version plus a different EU/NA F2P version, which I don't think they would do considering the move to F2P would be because of a dwindling EU/NA population and hence probably not worth the efforts.
Just my opinion, of course.
IT'S GAMEFORGE! The B2P is nothing but a small step into the P2W.
It will be like "Aion Classic". P2P ( B2P ), Game Pass AND P2W Cash-Shop.
Whoever .. "Well, I will give them a try! Maybe they learned that P2W is bad!", deserve every bit of "I told you so!"

Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
We need an "eyeroll" reaction.
That's because it had a subscription, genius. If the game requires a subscription to access, then that's how they make their money. Think about how much money the game will make when it's just B2P. The lowest package costs 40 EUR to access the game. I don't know what the highest is, but at launch only the whales will buy that, after that nobody will buy it. People will buy the cheapest package and never buy anything again. If I was interested to play this game, I'd buy the 40 EUR package and never spend another dime on the game. I don't care one bit about skins, I find them ugly, tasteless and immersion-breaking so I never use them in games. Gameforge and the developer won't get anymore than 40 EUR from me. There will be many more players like that, eventually the game will start making some promotions, such as:
- F2P weekend periods
- Sales
- etc.
The game can't sustain itself with just B2P and skins. I thought with so much failures over the past 5-6 years, people would learn, but to be as blind and deluded as you are, it's staggering.
Will this game go f2p,i say most certainly ,like 99% for certain.I also expect a much worse cash shop down the road which is why you NEVER accept a cash shop of ANY kind because it will always get worse.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I played Aion on their servers. Guess what? Massive P2W.

Every game from that page is P2W and I played only 2. How do I know? I have the sixth sense.
Facts, not feelings, boy!

nope cash shop can only be changed to devs permission. it remained no p2w for 3 years over in china and they have control whats go into this cash shop 2
Guys I have absolutely no sympathy with Gameforge, zero!
BUT it is a fact that this game has no p2w in china since 3 years.
Of course there is a always slight chance that evil Gameforge might f... this up but for now I'll stick to the situation at hand and have lots of fun playing this non p2w game with some friends.
If Gameforge screws this up someday I'll just stop playing. I know, drastic but I'll survive.
