Knowing how the supplier industry loves metrics, even if they are bad metrics, it's easy to see how even playing without ever purchasing anything is considered an F2P success - they just didn't have the right offerings or price points, both of which can be adjusted.

So, the take away becomes if you don't like the F2P model - and more importantly don't want it in EQN - don't support EQ2x.

Just my opinion.

i don't understand...eq2 is a pay to play game (monthly sub) and you are complaining that they opened up parts of the game for free (with optional purchases, instead of monthly sub)?

i don't play eq2 anymore, and my only knowledge of eq2x is from this thread. am i missing something?

from this thread, i don't see what is so bad about it. you still have the option to go with the monthly sub (like most MMOs), but they are giving you another option also. It sounds like an extended "trial" period---which is probably a good thing if I understand it.

explain more pls.

So even with the fucking PLATINUM membership, you STILL have to pay to play anything but Human, Erudite, Barbarian, and Half-Elf?

Wow, what a load of cock-shit.

Well they're just trying to hook people is all. For anyone who's played the game before of course it's gonna suck. But if only 5-10% of those who try the f2p server and end up subbing or giving soe money thru cash transactions it'll be considered a win. After all it can't have cost them too much in development or overhead to maintain.
