Let's hope your sources information is true because this sounds like a model for the game.

-- Nothing is nicer than seeing your PS3 on an HDTV through an HDMI cable for the first time.

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

Mike from Morgantown

They could also try to make their money back through advertising.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

"gamers will be able to have a full satisfying experience playing the game solo or with a party. There will also be a huge focus on story and character development."

What exactly does this mean? Will I be able to play the game through alone??

If they can implement a F2P its going to be awesome. Think about the game sales. That's more then going to make up for any revenue lost due to no subscription fee.

It is better to die on one's feet

then live on one's knees

Uh, this is going to be a lot bigger than Guild Wars regardless of monthly fees or not.

I can promise to join such a clan if someone forms one.. and if the game is good, of course. Can't maintain it though.
