I've played Lotro, CoH, STO, and WoT as Freemium games, and I haven't seen where I could buy an all-powerful weapon or armor like you describe. I have spent less money on Freemium games than I did on sub games, so I think it is a deal for my style …

The swtor news seems to be validating my belief that the new lifecycle of aaa mmos is box + sub to freemium. Don't be surprised when other or future aaa mmos go down the exact same path. I would be shocked if future developers didn't account for t…

I have never played an RPG (including Elder Scrolls and Baldurs Gate franchises besides MMOs) where at some point inventory space didn't become an issue. Inventory management is a core part of playing these types of games. I have never payed real …

I didn't see an option for quest packs or area unlocks. Other than costume pieces, that's all I buy in f2p games. I go so slow in them due to lack of play time, so they are quite cheap for me to play (maybe $5 per month or less). I also like bein…

Firefly, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, and Highlander. Highlander would be the sandbox, full-loot PvP game so many in these forum say they want. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

The average MMO player doesn't sub to a game for two years. Look at the population drops after a new game has been out for a few months. Odds are that two out of three lifers would have quit playing long before the break-even of the lifetime sub. …

Originally posted by Code187 Not much has changed from today's FPS's when compaired with old games like Wolfenstein. You may have different weapons, environment, and vehicles etc, but the gameplay concept is still the same. I disagree. FPSs …

ToR is a well-executed current gen game that should have a large market appeal. It may do the story better, and it certainly has more VO than any previous MMO, but I don't see any substantial leap from what has come before. I have high hopes for G…

I really like Dark Pony's sigs. Good job on those. As for the game, I'll probably play it eventually. It seems less buggy than other MMOs I've tried in beta or at launch. Felt more like a single player game to me. Would have preferred better lo…

I think a player's play style dictates which business model is the best for them. Hardcore gamers who want every facet and item in the game benefit the most from the subscription model. F2P or B2P models favor more casual players who don't have th…

Originally posted by Icewhite Originally posted by Kelvrek My cable and phone are available to all five members of my family. A monthly sub to just one game would be $75. Assuming, of course, that you bought an individual sub for each and e…

Originally posted by Icewhite If the (rather incredibly low hourly rate, compared to other forms of entertainment) of a subscription bothers you, you should probably cancel your cable--it costs considerably more--and your phone. Possibly your ISP.…

I don't believe this game is p2w. You do need either a prem acct or good prem tank to make credits to support high tier tanks, but that doesn't mean you will have an exceptional win %. The MM does make some lopsided matches, but over time a player…

I had all of the CoX games/expansions and subscribed for 3+ years, and I am quite pleased to be able to pop into the game and revisit some of my characters. If I intended to play a lot, I would subscribe. However, I think they are pretty generous …

The right side of the F2P vs Freemium vs P2P argument depends on the game and the playstyle of the gamer. I have NEVER spent more money on a F2P or Freemium game (Lotor, CoX, DDO, WoT) as I have on P2P games (Eve Online, Cox early on, Conan early o…

I suppose I've had good luck with pugs in the past, and I prefer playing MMOs in a group. I play most of the time with guildmates. The games seem like less of a grind in a group. I believe that I level faster and get better loot drops in a group.…

The point is that piracy is overblown, not about the morality. Piracy does not cost the industry as much money as they claim. Disagree? As a paying consumer of video games, piracy has had an adverse effect on my experiences due to the anti-piracy…

I subscribed to the game for 3 1/2 years and the IOs are $30 away from being permanently unlocked. All classes are available to me, as are many other game features. Brand new players who subscribe at this point will rack up rewards much faster tha…

As opposed to quitting a game subscription and not being able to access any of the game at all? Subs give better access, but players have to decide if the cash shop offers enough content to keep them interested.

I really like the new freemium models overall. They provide players with more options, and it's up to the players to decide which option works best for them. A casual player will get a better value from slowly unlocking content as they mosey throu…
