dont forget to factor in the play limiter they have in the game. where its an 8 hour per week at full exp points, while keeping some people from completely advancing up the chart from others, it will greatly extend the amount the number of months to get at a bunch of different things.....


Is this for real?

You will have to buy the game

You will have to pay a monthly fee.

You will get to play this game for 8 hours/week?

I feel that any game that requires you to buy it in stores and then have to pay again just to play it is a rip-off.

Pay-to-Play games should be free to obtain.

I agree, F2P games are the future of gaming.

Have fun enjoying crap.

Have you followed Turbine and what happened when they took D&D Online F2P? Revenue was up 400% and now they're making LotRO F2P. F2P does not equal crap any more.

@ Euphoria14

GUILD WARS 2! That game will rock the gaming world!

Eight hours a week per class. Still bad, just not as bad as you might think.

Haha 13$ for a month of gaming? No thanks.

 

AND you have to pay for the game too. Wtf?


You have to pay for a cell phone. and you HAVE to pay for a subscription to use it.

You have to pay for a computer, and you HAVE to pay for internet for it to be remotely useful.

 

Your arguement is moot.


Very few people would way subscription to a game on the same level as their internet and phone. I know my internet is way important to me than phone and games. Heck, I need to pay internet just to play this game. 

For what this game would cost me in a year, I could buy 3 brand new games and probably a cheap one. 4 experiences as opposed to 1. If it seem like a fair deal for you then that's great, more power to you and perhaps you just have the money. The threads about how everyone feels about it, though. You should expect some people to be put off by that price. I definitely am.

8hours/class. You can still play in that class but you get less EXP and after a certain point (I think after another 7 hours) you get 0 EXP.You can switch classes and get full again. Still sucks cause they're restricting how you play the game you're paying 13$/month to play.

Not all F2P games are crap.

8 hours/week? say what? so what's the reason for this? is it so that people can't buy a powerleved character from all these chinese gold/exp farmers that is plagueing pretty much every MMO on the market these days?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

No it is so that you are forced to pick the "Dogs > MMO's" option in the poll

You get a free month when your purchase it.

Go GuildWars! Down with everyone else!!!

Aye, I used to play that quite a lot, a few years back. Too bad I forgot me password.

Y'know, Lord of the Rings Online is going F2P in just 11 days. 'Twas pretty well received, so I might just give it a shot.
