Hey, chicken little, get a grip.

For one, DDO is quite possibly the best suited game on the market to be altered to an F2P model. The game was already modular in design to begin with. Regarding your inability to let people play the game the way they want to while you play it the way you want to, well, I don't know what to tell you but you really do need to get a grip.

By all accounts the conversion to the new model has breathed new life into what was once thought a completely failed IP. Honestly, seek help.

For those about to down rate this comment cause you think I'm being such a prick, think of this not as a flaming comment but more of an intervention for all those gamers out there that have a problem letting options be just that.

No one is demanding you use the DDO store. No one has said that LOTRO will be getting a similar store. If it bothers you so much that developers are finding themselves in need of a new economic model then perhaps rather than lamenting the downfall of society and woe upon us all that instead you get a friend to subscribe.

Beyond that, may I suggest repeating this mantra, "The sky is not falling. It's just a game."
