Thats what I said awhile back, F2P DAOC capped at RR4 or such + higher rr's for paying players (right upto rr20 or so) still not sure why they haven't yet, pretty sure they said "We're managing to stay afloat with our current subscribers" which in itself is a wanky excuse, nothing would stop them opening additional servers when the need arises for it, F2P and a tiny bit of advertising would rake the players in for DAOC because it still to date has the best PVP around despite its age.
F2P is fucking tragic, the amount of pointless limitations theyve put on is laughable
cant hide helmet without paying
cant unify armour without paying
cant access guild bank without paying
cant have more than 1 or 2 hotbars without paying
i can understand limiting the warzones/dungeons/whatever to X/unit time.. but crippling the UI is not the way forward, they can ctfoadoa if they think im paying them anything
The hotbar limitation is fucking comical, stupid cunts.
Your money isnt lost just in escrow until you re-subscribe.
Its not designed for 50s - its not really free to play - its free to level then you either level another or subscribe.
There are people who will play it for months enjoying the class quests - thats who its for tbh.
had this discussion hte official forums, and i dont get it:
you can get new players with "perma lvl 10 trial (hello WARHAMMER)", recruit a friend schemes,e tc
so why not try to get old players back with F2P, which it clearly failed to do
Have a few days to myself as the mrs is away, so thought id D/L SWTOR and have a little go as its F2P and i never tried it... it's been downloading for fucking days. How big is it?
dunno but the credit cap, do i get my cash back if i subscribe or are the 15 mil gone?
