@Alph Maybe they considered large-form updates as well (ones not called expansions per se by the publishers of said mmos but work similarly). In any case, it did seem to be the biggest block expansion of the year, so I guess kind of default.
@Joshua Przygocki Maybe, but I wouldn't take there "no" as a yes either- seems kind of early for so many people to be asking if they're going f2p when the game's just launching now and has no f2p elements built in (at this time, or known to the public).
@ScottishViking Given FE's f2p model (the specifics of it), I'd say it'd make a good vacation (can only craft a certain many hours a day on a free account, and slightly less exp gain).
As for me, I'd say Rift. It was fun to try out, and might be fun for short bursts, I just didn't want to commit to it for an extended period.
@StormEagle Wouldn't seem too far-fetched, rivers already pull you a bit, just increase that and give the player something to sit on... there you go! :D
