TERA & SWTOR

Yeah Tera and SWTOR for sure.
I'd love it if Tera went F2P.
EA would never let SWTOR go free, it would prove them wrong all along and they can't let that happen. It's pretty much the final nail in the coffin if that were to happen.

2.TERA
3.The Secret World
4.Rift
I dont think rift will go F2P or Secret world tbh, atleast not this year. the other 2 tho, for damn sure. RIFT has a new xpansion coming out soon from what i hear, so i dont see it going f2p
Tera for sure. The game could easily live off of a Cash shop.
Reputation: 11lol you guys.... In no way is SWTOR going f2p THIS year... neither is TERA. It is unrealistic and stupid to think that THIS YEAR those games will go f2p... the year is half over and there is no talk of it. Unless they add some serious content and fix TERA, I would say a end of the year 2013 f2p could be realistic... But honestly, i don't feel SWTOR will go f2p anytime soon if it does at all.... They added the f2p up to lvl 15 and that is probably as much as they will go. I hear their 1.3 update was pretty serious so I feel like they are doing good things with SWTOR and will continue. And SWTOR was not a bad game. I really enjoyed it. They just need to do more to make it more of an MMO and less of a single player game.
Reputation: 10Tera for sure.SWTOR maybe next year.
Is Tera really in that bad of a place? What happened to all the hype around it? Is the population lacking that much? I'm sort of surprised to be honest.
Reputation: 10Yep, i would love seeing Tera go F2P, because it's a great idea for next MMORPG generation.
Reputation: 11Ok but here is the thing, TERA, SWTOR, and RIFT will NNNNNOOOOOOTTTTT go f2p this year. Lol... just don't even pretend like its a possibility. I don't know why you guys think it is!
Like someone said, RIFT has huge xpac coming this year so of course not... TERA was just released a month and a half ago, of course not. SWTOR i don't think is hurting that bad and they are doing good things to it so of course not. Just please get that through your heads. Honestly....... like i said, end of 2013 maaaybe... but not this year. NOT AT ALL!
How bout Vanguard huh, I think that will go f2p later this year... Oh wait...
Why are you so adamant in your limited understanding of these companies' finances?
Here are 2 quotes about SWTOR.

Tera is practically free to play already, at max level you can make enough gold to buy a month's worth of subscription in a hour or less.
Reputation: 11Yes, I understand that if a game is hurting it will go f2p or just die lol... and i know TERA and SWTOR are hurting, but i feel SWTOR is coming back up slowly but TERA is just falling. However, they can't snap their fingers and yey its f2p now enjoy! SWTOR already implemented f2p up to lvl 15. There have been no talk of TERA or SWTOR going f2p yet this year. The year is half over! Don't even expect these games to go f2p this year. and after a month and a half... they are not just going to throw their hands up with TERA and go f2p. They are going to try to do some content updates to save it. So TERA will be p2p for a while still.
It will take some time to convert to a f2p model, and thus that is why you should not expect anything this year... maybe an announcement saying sometime in 2013...... But not from TERA
And they usually like to release some cool new content and stuff with their launch of f2p model to please current players and draw in new ones. So when they decide to go f2p they will most likely want some shiny new stuff to go with it and that is another reason why it will take some time to reach f2p. F2p is usually an update, not just a thing that happens lol.
Tera has an item called chronoscrolls which add 1 month of subscription when used. They can be bought from the website for $15 and can be sold to other players through the broker. On my server they are currently selling for about 1.2k gold. People at max level can easily earn over 1k gold per hour just farming normal mobs out in the field.
Thats actually awesome. do you play regularly?
If so, would you recommend the game? I might just buy it
Funny that this was brought up. Especially that Swtor announced it was doing the f2p til level 20 thing like WoW did. TERA itself isn't doing too well either. They've actually released a F2P server in the korean server that runs from July 4th til August 9th that lets you play to level 50 for free completely.
