If this game goes....

lol they actually banned them?

awesome move. i would love to see a few trolls . (not all) banned. only the really vicious ones.

But shouldnt that tell you that it isent really free to play?

I mean how can they make more money than they used to, if the game is free now?

f2p = pay2win.

Keep that far away from here.

I wouldn't go so far to say the game is on its last legs, but there's certainly not a substantial growth spurt on the horizon. As the analysts have said, its reasonable to assume the population will stabilize around 1 million players.

I'm on Ajunta Pall, one of the more populated US servers. Last night, after trying for 30 minutes to get a group together for a mid-level flashpoint, I just gave up. After that I logged onto the imp side. In a guild of 130 people there was one person on. It was me.

If F2P will bring more players in I welcome it. At the very least, they should do the first 30 levels free.

I wouldn't play it even if it was F2P.

The last thing I want is a pay to win game...

Meh, if SWTOR goes F2P id quit. I just hate that play2win model. That said if it went B2P (buy to play) like GW then I wouldnt mind it. PvP to level up, only play for the class story, buy an expansion to that story every now and then. Pretty sweet deal IMO. Of course they'd practically have to fix the PvP=side game thing they have going under that model.

Thank way I can play TERA which ive been itching to get into (officially in the NA release) but cant justify leaving TOR for it or paying for 2 MMO's at once + time constraints.

P.S: Dont think thatll really happen any time soon. Plus EA is just as likely to just cut their losses and shut down the game as they are going through all the work of converting this game to F2P.

Okay so you're gonna make a game that has an ENDING and won't see any major content updates outside of expansions your main game.. Okay cool have fun with that. Not saying come back to SWToR but you GW2 people are in for an extremely rude awakening.

I just bought this game a few weeks ago. It's the best game I've ever played, by FAR. I love it, just the way it is! Well, except for the laggy bits, and I wish the graphics were a little better (like having weather and such). I wonder if they'd keep more "beginners" like me if it looked better.

I will do the same.

I agree with this. GW 2 is as over hyped as SWTOR was and will have an equal letdown.

The GW 2 hype sounds about the exact same as the Rift hype prior to launch and the warts on the game are starting to leak out of the closed Beta environment.

The only thing saving GW 2 from all the negative attention will be the fact its not a sub based game hence there will be no subscription numbers to show how bad the game is going.
