Apr 21st 2011 8:16PM (Massively)Free for All: Is a subscription the new sign of trouble?
Apr 20th 2011 6:22PM (Massively)My whole problem with subscription games is that you don't know what you are buying before you get it. You can read about it, you can see some screen shots and in-game videos, possibly play the beta, but it is like buying a 60$ mystery box. It may be full of gold and shinnies and stripper glitter, or it may be full of all different kinds of piles of crap. You really don't know what you get until you install and start playing. By that time you are already 50-60$ invested in it and may not play it past the free month. I know I have tried numerous sub games at release and stopped playing after the month was out.
F2P breaks down the wall and lets you decide both if you want to play for an extended period of time and how much money you want to put into it. If you like the game you keep playing, either for free or by putting money into the cash shop/subscription.
I play a TON of free to play games. I bounce around between them once I get bored with one. There are some, like Rappelz, that I have been playing on and off for 5 years now and have put maybe a total of 50$ into it. It allows me to decide what I play, when I want to play, and how much I want to pay when I do stick to a game.
I look at most sub games and go "I am most likely going to be disappointed" and usually, that is the general consensus with the game by its own community.

Apr 14th 2011 9:09PM (Massively)Choose My Adventure: Into the cave I go!
Apr 13th 2011 5:10PM (Massively)I subbed last month to then. Went to one that got released after Fippy Paw. I am at about level 25 at the moment (playing very casual). There have been people all over the place and I have found a group or partners in every area I have been in so far.
Looks like the prog servers have brought back a ton of people and is pretty highly populated at the moment.

Apr 13th 2011 8:23AM (Massively)I am really surprised they never made an MMO based off of the specific game mechanics of FF7. Would have made my day.
