Tera for sure. The game could easily live off of a Cash shop.
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: 482I doubt TERA going F2P by the end of the year because of the chronoscrolls.
Wow TERA is that bad?
Reputation: 22I'd say change the bet to Q2 2013. It's too early to say a p2p game is going f2p by the end of the year imo.
Though I'd hope SWTOR and TERA should go f2p so I could continue playing those games lol.
Tera , Swtor ... The secret world ... every other mmo holds their positions in player base ...
Some Stories Are Just Way Better In My Head!
Reputation: 15I agree with the opinion that none will go f2p this year. Maybe next year though.
Everything so I can play all of it.
Oh I see What You Did There...
swtor will be going f2p sooner than 2013 ... because they ruined it themselves the game had potential ... nice story ... nice pvp was really fun going on playing with friends doing quests together ... gaining social points while in conversations heck of it even flashpoints were fun ^^ it had potential but they did not release the most important parts of the game while everyone still were into the game ...
Rift wont go f2p indeed and those who played know why ... the game is Sooo huge and they making it even bigger ... world events , rifsts , dungeons all kinds of fun events from devs Its an awesome experience![]()

Yea SWTOR has an expansion coming out later this year.
I have an active sub to SWTOR, love it.
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: 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.
