    I wasn't taking personal credit. Like you said, we all saw that coming.

    Think I may give Wildstart another go it seems.
    And yes, we all saw this coming light-years away

    Alas, the workings for it were there... which is sad... here's to hoping they do it right. (Yes, there is a right way to do F2P conversion. Just don't think I've seen too many do it... kinda at a loss of an example here.)

    For anybody planning to start playing when it goes F2P, you can pick up the standard edition for $1 this week from Humble Bundle to get all the founder benefits ... something? I guess the founder benefits were a one-day-only thing and I can't really figure out what the standard edition gets you now.

    They were wondering the same thing over on Reddit. Official word is the 30 day subscription can only be used for a new account.

    I d'know, from my limited f2p experience I'd say MWO found a good balance.

    There are some really good examples of F2P, Path of Exile, DOTA 2, TF2, and Heroes of The Storm... but MWO is not a good F2P model.

    This actually looks like a very reasonable F2P system. I hope it works out for them in the long run, Wildstar was such a diamond in the rough.

    me too, I'm hoping there'll be a lot more interest in the 'borg from people who didn't want to pay subscription, as well.

    apparently they instituted a first and last name system, so all characters will need to be renamed
