Free to Play Isn’t Play for Free 3y3d49

Many industry experts said that SWTOR could be setting the stage for a new F2P model for MMORPGs. Other said it would be the last subscription-based MMORPG and that they expect future games of the same caliber to be based around F2P models. That hasn’t exactly happened yet.

While there are more free to play MMORPGs than ever before, there are still games coming out with subs, at least for now. And this brings up a great conversation about free to play MMOs.

While a game may be labeled “free to play”, this doesn’t make it play for free. You still may end up needing to pay for certain pay for features that subscribing don’t have to pay for.

The upside is that you only have to pay for the features you want and you can skip the ones you don’t but the downside is that if you’re not careful, you just might end up spending more on the things you want than you would have by just getting a sub in the first place.

For a every game.

So here’s a big question about SWTOR F2P- do you consider it too restrictive to play without paying for anything at all? Does it truly allow you to play for free?
