I agree with Dblade, but I beleive this" you get what you pay for" idea is a very good apporach for a FPSMMO.

In most F2P MMOs, people that spend money in the item store, pwn in PvP, and that's really not any fun for the players that don't want to keep on spending $30 every week. (kinda gay how your exquipment expire and stuff in F2P MMO...but i guess thats how they get money)

But Dblade is right, there is a higher chance that there are going to be alot of people in the non-subscription zone, compared to the subscription zone.

If crafting and presistant world allowed me open world pvp (with lots of players, active) and allowed me to craft my own custom guns and armor and stuff (devil wings! yaaaaaay) then I'm sure to pay for the monthly subscription, but if it only contains some, press buttons to craft 50 woolen clothes......I'm staying on the freebie side.
