Does not F2P MMOs mean that they make their money on micro-transactions?
(i.e., for upgrades above a certain level, clothes, weapons, etc.).

Yep. That's how FreeRealms works. FreeRealms will be free to download and pay but certain optional content on the game you have to pay for. So you can expect them to flood it with nice content. Advetising is also quite possible.

Also, don't expect any FREE add-ons or expansion packs.

HOME works like this, microtransactions AND advertising.

Sorry, but i don't like micro-transactions...I play alot of MMOs, infact I'm in Huxley beta now, but I saw the trailer from Free Realms...and if that is what FF14 is going to be like...count me out from even trying the beta.
