I did understand your point. Your opinion that f2p would kill UO is just your assumption.
You are already being nickled and dime to death. You pay a subscription and items in the UO store.
Your imaginary scenario of what UO would be like as a f2p model is just that, imaginary. Oh everybody has their own idea what it should be as a f2p model for UO but that is EA decision in the end.
Your imaginary scenario would kill the game. Hence why you made that example. Have you actually tried F2P games out there and I am not talking about facebook games, but true MMO's more like UO? They have workable systems where the free players can achieve the same as paying players with a twist. It may take them longer but they can still do it.
If F2P models didn't work then there be no discussion over it at all. In truth many of the hardcore UO player base feels that they had pay so everybody else should also.
You avoided the truth in my post concerning population. F2P communtites beats UO paid community hands down. As I stated below.....
You want more players but you offer no solutions and just keep arguing the f2p debate. So if f2p is not the answer then what is it? Dont say the same thing over and over as many others have stated about EA should advertise. We already know the answer to that.
This is why the f2p debate over UO is all about. The current population would like more players playing. Not leaving. Unless you have another viable solution that would revitalize UO population the f2p debate will continue.
I will quote my last sentence because this is the only solution to keep UO going until a higher up wakes up and make some hard decisions.
Isn't it ironic though that EA cuts people jobs instead of really fixing the issue with their games? I guess sending loyal employees to the unemployment line is a better decision rather than disturbing the villagers.
Maybe if more people bought more accounts they would rehire some devs and support they cut
Oh just make everybody pay each month not let others work the system and pay every 87 days
How about raising the subscription fee because its about that time many will since the dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore
Add more items to the UO store that players will run and buy because of pixel addiction and then they can add storage tokens to accounts that will cost you 19.99
How about just finding ways to nickel and dime the current player base so that game will last a bit longer for the hardcore players
OH!!! Thats right UO has an item store just like the F2P models have. lol Wonder where EA stole that idea from? P2P and B2P and P2W all in one game I love it! You are totally right Lady Storm. UO should not go f2p. EA knows it is doing since it's worked this long and UO is just as vibrant a community as it was years ago. What was I thinking lol.
