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.


You get a free month when your purchase it.


In an MMO a month is nothing.

I feel that any game that wants me to lay out ~$130 a year to play shouldn't cost me $50 just to gain the right to pay them $130 a year.

 

How can NCSoft give us GuildWars 2 for free, just like GuildWars 1 and not charge us, but a company like Square-Enix and Blizzard need to?

Go GuildWars! Down with everyone else!!!

Guild Wars is no where close to WoW or any other MMO in terms of upkeep on the developers/network peoples part. I wouldn't even consider it a true MMO.

And how do you know what the expenses of Guild Wars are to ArenaNet? I know the game has much less of a cost per user than WoW and other traditional MMOs, but the Guild Wars franchise has sold over six million copies to date, so that's potentially a lot of users. And even ArenaNet themselves say it's not a MMO, so you're right to not consider it one.

However, Guild Wars should be every bit as demanding as something like WoW, probably more so, and there still is no monthly fee. We'll see how that bill gets covered when the game releases.
