[url=#user_comment_143370]@Darketower[/url]: True, F2P does not always indicate that the game isn't good, but the thing is that the people in charge of almost any F2P MMO will sooner or later submit to their greed and turn the game into another pay-or-have-no-fun game. Exceptions are few and far between.

Monthly fee does not equal quality. And F2P does not equal failing.
Plus, there's a bunch of great-looking games on the horizon that will have no monthly fee at launch (full games, not limited trials). Firefall. Mechwarrior Online. Guild Wars 2. Neverwinter.
The industry is changing.

Free to Play is a sign that a game isn't up to snuff and is losing subscriptions.
Note: not talking about a free trial where you are severely limited and the point is to lure potential players to subscribe, kinda like WoW's F2P mode.

Uhm... Anyway, every MMO is using the "free" bait as they see fit --whether it is beginning with free trial passes as in EVE or TOR or Starter Editions like WoW, Conan or Diablo III-- they might end with TLOTRO milking microtransactions from your plastic wallet.

It doesn't matter if they cost more. They offer an illusion of choice. People will go in and pay vastly more than they'd ever with a subscription, justifying it that they play it enough so it's worth it.

micro transactions cost more than subs though. I would rather pay $15 a month for access to all the games content than $0 a month, but $20 everytime I want to access a new area.

With more and more customers refusing (and rightfully) to pay subscriptions for MMOs, more games will turn towards microtransactions, which are more palatable for customers, as it offers a theoretical choice and they can still lure you into playing by saying its free to play.

F2P is rapidly becoming the norm. With how many other MMOs are already F2P, it's really hard for a subscription game to compete. WoW can, because it's WoW. But what does TOR offer that makes it worth paying for after you finish the story?

F2P is great, especially for gamers. It's just not the moneymaker of 15 dollars a month from a million people. Thankfully more players are becoming aware that 60+15(m) is not worth the hours of generic gameplay and muffled social interaction, both of which can be found better elsewhere.
