Well.. just thought I will make a topic like this and see how GE [Sg] goes =)

What do you think is the outcome?

Some other version = B2P+P2P+Cash Shop

Will GE [Sg] be the same thing?

I mean, Pre-OB phase, don't you people think it is weird to have something like this? Pre-OB is not closed beta, right? Never came across anything like this, it's either Alpha/closed -beta/open - beta, nothing of the word "pre" exists in my memory. If so, I.m.o I think this is some marketing scheme. Maybe right now, they are trying to advertise this game, and after some time when they reached their expectation (Eg; population) , they will go p2p? That's how I thought.

How about you guys/girls?

P.S

This is no assumption in any way that GE [Sg] will be p2p/f2p.

Just a prediction.

Or someone enlighten me on the POB phase? It seemed to me that that phase = intended to grab more people, and OB = P2P/F2P.

In the end, I guess, GE [Sg] will go p2p.

Its going F2p well i don't know about north america. But Korean and japanese had went from p2p to f2p like 2 monthes ago.

Extra : Im not gonna go to north america if NA becomes f2p :P,waste of time.

ownii

If they go p2p they will lost huge amount of players.. even if some ppl stay it will only be singaporeans that stay. NA players will move to K2 and Europe players won't bother paying and just go to jGE or quit with GE.

Bumped.

Lol, I knew it...

The recent article just proved my point.

A good guess indeed, it will be p2p after all.

(Even though the POB phase may not be true.. but I was right.)

What are you talking about? what article? and how can POB not be true? It's just a phase. It's just called POB because they acknowledge that there's still issues to resolve before they would like to call the phase Open Beta stage. It'll still have issues to resolve then, i think its just name to show players they plan to have a better build for an open beta stage.

EDIT: oh wait, just went to the Free MMORPG board and saw the notice lol, guess its gonna be p2p after all...sigh. GE site isn't working for me though..and neither is GE.

You see, if you noticed that little sentence, it can cause a change in your point of view, greatly. After all, it's speculation, and POB phase on my part is just a prediction/guess. I don't see why I am limited to that?
What I am trying to convey is, after closed beta it becomes open beta. Rarely you see games CB -> POB -> OB( In this case, OB = commercial release ).

Unless someone can prove me wrong by saying that POB is CB. Then, I am wrong.
But you sir. None-the-less I am making a guess. Whether I am right or wrong, you will never be right.

Yes, I noticed that edit of yours. But I am targeting at your explanation on POB phase.

Yah, i dont think OB will be commercial release, 9D had a pre-OB aswell, then went into open beta. 2moons had one, although their POB was more of a alpha testing, restricted to very limited amount of players. I just think POB is simply a name, i dont think they'll be enforcing P2P policy till after open beta.
