talking about fail when LOTRO had to go f2p, like, seriously lol'd.
Anyway, I think I'll wait a bit more before I fall into fanboi/spender temptation.
And it was a smart move from Turbine.Quote:

I was actually thinking about ffxiv, and why there still isn't auction house, and suddenly I came to think of retainers. With them actually making people have to cathegorize some of the stuffs, you would actually need to buy more retainers, which means you would have to pay SE more money as a subscription fee. With auction house the need of extra retainers would be much less and SE would make less money out of it.
Well this is just a random thought.
gamespot give poor rating. they have to try to fix before the game get shutdown or they lose alot money for just use graphic only to make a game
there's still actually alot of people play this game.
only play because there Final fantasy fans. i like final fantasy games but if mmorpg just going to be boreding high graphic FF11 i wont buy it. if they want to do high graphic thing they should upgrade there old mmorpg with the graphicQuote:

That wasn't the pointQuote:

I wouldn't say that.. atleast not yet.
It's actually pretty fun if you have some people helping you out. Other than that, it's a drag.
LOTRO was doing fine with its core subbers. Not a big bang boom MMO, but not going under or anything. They knew they would get more money if they would make it semi-f2p. DDO already showed em that. Turning F2P doesn't mean it's going bad, just that it could be better. Turbine doesn't wait till the game completely dies out like some company then try to extend its life by going completely f2p. No, Turbine plans ahead and says 'We're stable now, but we could get roughly 20% increases in Subbers if we do this. Shall we ?' And they did.Quote:
