How many went from WoW to F2P?

Czzarre · 04-18-2008, 07:17 PM

As I have spoken to a lot of old guildies, many have burnt out on WOW entirely and a substantial number have sworn off P2P games totally. I wnoder how many players came from WoW and now only play F2P games. Is the main reason only the cost?

Just wondering

For me it was actually the other way around... I was sick of the general BS that most of these F2P games were, and decided to start paying.

I've had several attempts of going back to F2P from WoW, (I admit, at times it gets boring and I need a break) but the games are just as lame now as they were back then, albeit a bit shinier graphics.

Yea, I myself have never been a big player of F2P games. It seems to me the best thing they offer is graphics ..but not a lot underneath. Now thats a generalization, I know.

I went F2P to WoW...I must say that i really enjoyed WoW for maybe 2-4months. After i understood that WoW is boring at lvl 70...so i went F2P again

I've played wow since the first stress test and accumulated about 5 70's then decided to quit for a few months and try the F2P scene... currently reinstalling wow. =/

i went from f2p to p2p and never looked back since

theres a reason p2p games are more successful

more money = more updates and better content = more fun for the player
