Free-to-play may actually be the proper way to offer MMOs instead of subscriptions, as Turbine has recently revealed that Lord of the Rings Online has tripled its revenue since switching the game over to that model back in September...
Have a struggling MMO? Make it free to play, and you'll pretty much guarantee success.
Hello APB F2P.
I dont really know how they do it, but I dont like the idea best gear in the game to be purchased with microtransactions.
I hope SW ToR isnt F2P
Not just struggling, Guild Wars came with F2P right out of the gate and sold millions, only because the game wasn't as robust or deep enough to play for years after did people stop playing.
If you look up Guild Wars 2 vids that game looks to be incredible.
Well, the difference being that Guild Wars isn't reeeeaaaaallly and *MMO* in the strictest terms. It lacks the "massively" part, specifically.
well, true but it is an online RPG mixed with MMO.
Really it is massive too, if you have EON expansion and the original, the map is HUGE, just as big as WOW, never mind the other 2 expansions that have their own HUGE maps/lands to explore!! It only lacks in content and updates..
That's good to hear, if the majority of MMO's go free to play then I'll never have a gaming drought again.
...or just make an amazing MMORPG that is worth your while....like world of warcraft.
Except WoW was pretty mediocre when it was first launched. WoW was a case of being in the right place at the right time, not being far and away better than everything else out there.
Turbine's insanely easy contest could leave you with 100,000 points in your pocket.
