Tera Online is Pay to Play O.O?

I was shocked at the announcement that TERA Online will be going P2P... This is an absolute outrage in my opinion. Yes, the game looks good etc, but as a flagship game, why go P2P ? I always said that companies can only afford to go P2P after building up some reputation with other games. NCsoft started out early as a market leader, while Blizzard has had a long history with their games with rich lore. Yes, BlueHole Studio is made up of core members who made Lineage2, but it just doesn't make any sense for a new company. Why must TERA Online, or rather BlueHole Studio dig its own grave ? I am really disappointed and lost for words.

HA! To think companies can be this stupid. CASH SHOPS MAKE MORE MONEY how hard is it to learn that. Look how successful IJJI are.

Im getting Aion and wasnt even looking at this game much anyways. I normally play p2p titles but not when i know they are going to shoot themselves in the foot like this.

Meh, who knows. Maybe it'll go F2P some day, like RFO and Archlord.

I laughed a little, tera will fail like no tomorrow with a p2p model.

RFO and Archlord doesn't look good like this one, and you can't wait for a P2P game becomes F2P 'cause you will die

Tera has the potential to be a good P2P game.

I think it would have done better as B2P instead of P2P, but I doubt it'd survive with either, but you never know.

I just hope this doesn't set an example for other "next gen" mmo's that we're all eagerly anticipating, if it does, they may try the same thing.

By then we'll probably have C9 and/or Mabinogi Heroes and not care. xD

[snubi]
