Did you go into the future and find that out yourself? Or are you just talking out of your ***, like everyone else?

Probably talking out of your ***.

Dunno 'bout that. I classify myself as casual and play 3 off and on. Same amount of time devoted to the hobby whether I play one or three. Only difference being if I stick to one, I get further, faster. Since I'm not in any big rip to get to end game when I play MMOs, matters not to me whether I take 2 months or 2 years.

It's the journey for me, not the destination.

I'm not saying nor implying the game will go f2p but..

What happens if it does, do we get free content etc? whats been the norm for other games which have gone f2p like dc universe for example.

Seem's a little unfair that players are getting the the same content without having to pay the initial start up of £30 or whatever it is now...

Any speculation?
There is no "if" it is "when" this game needs to do some big turn arounds or the servers will turn into even more of ghost towns.

Me too.

But that's okay because I am old.

And I think you're right, gaming companies hype the bejabbers out of their game (understandable) and then the cycle begins. I learned a long time ago to exercise a healthy skepticism and I usually don't end up yowling about how I've been "had".

That and remembering "it's just a game".

I was thinking more a long the lines of four hours a week. Of course, if you can only play games that much, you probably aren't playing this one.
This just in: Expanding on an ending no one likes is not improving said ending. A polished turd is still a turd.

Doomsayers call doom because server pop is low, when there are far more populated servers than yours that are being rolled on by those same people.

Server merges will happen at some point. Ignore what the ignorant doomsayer is saying.

Nonsense! Live inside your character! If it dies, you die! If the Sorc is on fire, throw him at the boss for extra dps!

Ah. Well...that would be...extremely casual. Heh. In fact, I think I spend that much time per week sorting inventories in one game.
