The game will go F2P

I don't think it will go F2P, but I don't think it will be hugely successful either. I think after the first year they will be around 1 million subscribers. I think the majority of the WoW crowd is going to be turned off by all the instancing and having to go through a story every time they level up a character. I personally like those things so I will be sticking with the game for the foreseeable future. BioWare really has to roll out a lot of updates quickly. Not everyone likes to roll alts so they are going to have to keep the single character people happy and I don't see the game doing that for very long as it is now.

Because, as you well know, it doesn't exist.

I love the evidence given in this post, very thorough and concise. [/sarcasm off]

This is also a claim, but it is more likely, as people who refuse to provide evidence have a strong known correlation to people who do not have sufficient evidence

i.e. im trying to destroy the poster by asking him to show evidence for his claim. when he can't, he loses.

wow at launch was anything but alive either. things stood still etc as well. Doing quests in wow at the first 6 months was the same as it is now. sure they had some animals scurry around and a few NPC walked, but that was it. Clicking those NPC just gave you a sound emote nothing more.

So whats the big deal, they have other things to fix and eventually we will get a easthetic update that adds a more "alive" feel. It took wow nearly to launch of TBC to feel alive anyway.

this game has been out only about 30days.... and all we can do now is say.. OMG its going to be free to play

Fun facts

1. No major patches have been released yet to give more content.
2. The bugs and glitches in the game have not been fixed.
3. There is no way they are going to add an expansion in the future? (Yes they will)


guys you really don't understand how mmos work if your going to crap on the game after a short period of time..


Did you see what happened to skyrim on the ps3? How long those playstation people had to wait to get a fix. and it still isn't corrected.

Look at how many games that on release date have so many problems... Its because your asking too much from the developer. You want a perfect game from day 1 and I'm sorry but that isn't going to happen


This will not be another dc universe .. you heard it here first

If you haven't played any other mmo in 3 years it means you haven't played those "big name" mmos that went f2p, Age of Conan, Champions Online, Star Trek Online, DC Universe Online, and so you have no idea why those mmos went f2p. You have no idea what their gameplay was like. I'll give you a hint, they weren't great. TOR's a lot better then any of them and you'd know that if you'd actually played any of those games.

Out of all the "This game will go free to play, derp" posts I wouldn't rate yours very high. At least other people making these posts have experienced f2p mmos for themselves and know what f2p really means. You're basing all your assumptions about the future on this game on something you've only read about and have no experience in.

I'm a Star Wars fan, Love the game. But from the way it looks it'll drop below the 500k mark come Feb and beyond
