    Arrow Your Opinion:

    Do you think there is/ever will be a F2P mmorpg that will last as long as some of the P2P mmorpgs? If so, what?

    Which makes me wonder the point of this topic...

    This thread needs to be locked. Someone didn't do their homework.

    Lots of old f2p games out there.


    Not really on topic, but Asian f2p's suck, in my opinion. Your ability to have fun in them is to dependent on how much money you can sink in to them (for the most part, especially games with PvP).

    Western MMO's that have f2p models (like a lot of the P2P games taht are going f2p, or runescape) allow you to have fun while not trying to get you to sink in money to the game every time you heal.

    I'll always prefer p2p games because of the quality of community (and usually of the game) you get with them. You're paying the same price as everyone else, so it's impossible for GMs to play favoritism towards those that sink hundreds of dollars in to a game (which does happen in many f2p MMOs, if you stick around long enough to notice it). And people are more accountable for their actions (you're less likely to be called racial slurrs, for one thing...) if they have to pay $30-60 for the game, and then another $15 a month.

    Also, customer service for p2p games is usually ten times better than in f2p games, even if it's just because p2p games usually have less players than f2p, and if they have more (like WoW), they can afford to hire enough staff to support all those players.

    Anyways, rant off...
