I played this for several months last year after finally breaking my WOW habit. Im soreley tempted to start back up again now with the announcement that it will go free to play (ie no subscription fees) later on this year.

 

Im also curios as to how othert MMOs will react to this. Eventually, will we see the genres biggest hitters (WOW) ever drop fees? Personally I wouldnt even mind things like in game advertising in a game like this - as long as its not over the top.

 

Any other views?

I'm actually in the Beta for the F2P model and I am loving it tremendously.

Also, Everquest II is going to start a F2P model soon as well, hoping I can get in on the beta of that too.

Edit: Also, many games that are F2P(MapleStory, etc) do well because of their Cash Shop items. People want to look cool or badass so if they don't have the ability to do so, most of the time the game will fail.
