Name change costs money, you can pay to change faction (which is accomplished in less than 1/2 hour with all mounts and armor changing - it's amazing technology).

Their mount and pet store makes Fannie and Freddie drool.

That game is and has been a cash cow that never ever ends.

The same thing that would happen if WoW merged with SWTOR. Who knows!

Bioware should have never picked on this MMO because I am pretty sure it's going to fail HARD once GW2, D3 and MoP comes out. GW2 alone delivers more than this game can ever dream of delivering. Bioware's name will turn into **** because of this game's failure. They should have stayed with SP games.

I am pretty sure you aren't sure about what you're talking about.

I guess it depends on how many derps are playing this game who buy ringtones or games for their phones or pay for pay-per-view or even pay money for upgrades to facebook games.

Personally, I'm a what you see is what you get kinda guy. I like to pay a flat fee and have access to everything rather than being nickel and dimed for content, especially in a p2w environment. Quite frankly I would move on.

Bioware runs a f2p game.

Dragon Age Legends on Facebook and Google+.

After playing the game f2p you can only play roughly an hour every 5 unless you buy gems. Gems are expensive.

My estimates based on playing the f2p version is 1200 bucks a year minimum. More if you upgrade your castle and buy gear for your character every few levels!!!

Pray this game never goes f2p.
To quote well me "Go be stupid on your own time!"
