    World of Warcraft? You're kidding me, right? Blizzard is making tons of greens off that game, and there's no way they're going to take that away anytime soon.

    F2P is good, but had disadvantages. One of the mains being that, since the game will be Free, hacks and bots will be used a lot more because people won't have to worry about losing money on their account being banned. But still, F2P is better because it's free, and more people will play it. If they like it enough, they'll possibly look at item mall items, maybe like the IM items, and then pay for those, which may get the company more money, which will make the game more important, which will result in the company helping more and adding more stuff. Even though I listed only one dis-advantage, there are probably a couple others, but the F2P part has more advantages.

    Also, not many games are going F2P, and WoW will never go F2P. they are making such an immense profit that if they stopped, they would have to close many servers, open an item mall and sell Rares which will unbalance the game. Other games may go F2P, but not WoW.

    RO Is probably freeing up because RO2 Is comeing. ROSE probably was digging themselves a dept.

    F2P with no IP bans, Chas item shop and in-game ads is the way to go~

    Not all companies are as big as Blizzard and NCSoft, who can lure people to p2p their games ya knoe

    I think RO is an awesome game, but most people don't want to pay for a game of its kind. Some people don't like the graphics that much, either. I personally love the character design and map design, but others might not.

    ROSE looks cool in some aspects, but it just doesn't seem like a game people really want to pay to play...

    WoW makes 50 or more million dollars in profits a month(7 millionx10.95 a month). they have enough money in one month to go F2P for almost 25 years But they're money hungry.LEts rember 1 MONTH=25!!!Its not like they have like
    they're servers cost that much to run a month like 10K.And people pay for this jus to grind all day and night to gain one level...
