What can people do in PE that they can't do elsewhere? Why should they be standing in PE instead of participating in an event like call-to-arm or other dungeons? There are also Sharandar and Gauntlgrym now.

I am not sure if your reply is to my post but since there doesn't seem to be another post that matched your post so I'll assume so... Anyway, the status of the game was from the OFFICAL gpotato run Allods server, not from a private server. That player simply said the official Allods p2p server is a lot less populated than…

Allod Online is about the only f2p game that's doing an experiment with a p2p server. The new server started just a couple of days ago so you would expect millions of "p2p lover" crashing their login queue, right? This is the actual status of the game described in their official gpotato game forum: "The population. Oh my…

ROFL. Those were bots taking advantage of the free time. They won't last 2 months. If everybody mass login every character in the starting zone at the first few days of launch means a great success then SimCity would be the best ever MMO. How come all everybody said SimCity is a huge failure?

FFXIV is another example of failed subscription based game. It failed so badly it has to charge nothing and redevelop the whole game for a long time. The Realm did not reborn smoothly neither. I am looking for Square Enix to call it the Final Chapter of their MMO Fantasy and exit the MMO market completely in the not too…

So how much is the monthly subscription fee you have in mind? $15? For $15 a month you want $15 worth in zen plus a long list of benefits? That means PWE will be making less, way way less. Only idiots will invest huge money to make an online game, find it very profitable, and then change it to subscription based and see…

I think you are carried away by your obsession in some specific games. The key point is this game is a MMORPG that should features an ever-changing world, i.e., not a completed but stagnant stereotype. Arguing about the relative successfulness of a couple of games like GW2 don't make the other hundreds, if not thousands,…
-
Many players described a MMORPG world as an ever-changing, living and breathing world. Neverwinter Online is a MMORPG. That said, Neverwinter should be ever-changing and Nevercompleted. The old warcraft style of stagnant world with a two years wait peroid for the next expansion doesn't exactly fit the definition of an…

Scared and lost in the "space of internet" are those who live there like it is the real world. To me internet is only a place for fun. If you don't find it fun, you don't have to be there. If I was one of those virtual people who had to worried about getting kicked out of the door by bosses like Rupert Murdoch I would be…

There is not such thing as elitism in the business world. Nothing is either totally black or white. The cats that catch mice are the good cats.
-
Just by looking at how people treat a $200 pack such a big deal I know who are not worthy to receive a real world Wall Street lecture. Anyway, mainstream customers never ask how well a business performs. They only buy the products when they want to buy them. Wall Street people put their money in the companies they think…

Once upon a time in 2012, a couple took their 5 year old kid to McDonald's. The naughty boy stomped his feet and kept crying "I want Happy Meal, I want Transformers... I want Happy Meal, I want Transformers...". The couple bought a "Limited Time Offer" Happy Meal and the boy got his Optimus Prime. The boy got back to…

Then this thread should be moved to off-topic because (1) it is no longer indicative unless somebody can tell us why F2P games need to explicitly show their cash shops outside the games while P2P and B2P games don't and (2) Neverwineter Online is not the only F2P games.
-
Find out yourself from other P2P and B2P games such as those from Funcom. Not everybody lists what they sell in their cash shops because it is not required. For this game they put up announcements every time when new items are added to the cash shop. That's fair enough already. Even in real world stores like Walmart, you…
-
Sure you can express your opinion but if it is your general opinion towards general games then why should it be in the general forum of this game?
-
Are all P2P and B2P games having every single specific of every single item of their cash shops listed on their website?
-
Again, another person claiming what? The other games won't sell anything else in the future?
-
Making more money is always the biggest reason for any business. P2P and B2P games can also establish all F2P cash shop features to enhance the profits of their investors. You can have your opinion while the others can have theirs but either way it becomes the general discussion of cash shops, not specifically pertaining…
-
ROFL. It is not up to you to make and enforce laws. If players keep crying for specifics of their cash shops to be released then one day the Government may make such laws and don't QQ Moar when it happens to be the P2P games that get regulated.
-
So you agreed P2P and B2P games MAY sell non-cosmetic items among other things later too. Good, then why don't you also go tell Blizzard, CCP, Funcom and other companies who operate P2P and B2P to release the specifics of their cash shops before you pay them either for the box or subscription or both?
-
Totally untrue. There is nothing whatsoever in the EULA of the P2P and B2P online games I have played that they will never sell anything you find in any F2P games.
-
Good! Then I suggest you should go to those P2P and B2P games and ask them the same questions you asked here first because you have to financially invested in their games first before you get to know what are in their cash shops. On the other hand, you don't have to pay a cent to get on F2P games like this one to find out…
-
This discussion is not on "what are in their cash shops"? It is whether the specifics of the cash shop contents should be disclosed without having players loading into the games. And obviously, it doesn't only pertain to F2P games because P2P and B2P games mostly have cash shops too. Please stay on topic.
-
Don't worry! Every customer in the Real World knows what they get from McDonald's already. They will continue to buy, but only when they want to buy.
-
Shouldn't P2P and B2P games also need to specify what they have in their cash shops too to let people judge whether they are interested to play their games? If online games are required to explicitly specify what are in their cash shops then P2P and B2P, particularly B2P and P2P games without free trial, have much bigger…
-
Limited time offer on McDonald's Angus Beef Value Meal doesn't mean McDonald's are excluding themselves from selling Angus Burgers, Double Angus Burgers, Angus Deluxe or Angus Burger Meal Combo with Mashed Potato in the future. Enough said.
-
Again, what does it has to do with F2P? Most P2P and B2P online games have in-game cash shops which you have to log into the game to find out the details too. So don't you mean people would be ok with games like EvE and TSW not to know anything until they log into their games and not ok with F2P games? Failed logic is…
-
These so called perspectives on F2P are totally rubbish. P2P or B2P games have the same ways of pushing virtual items and services down the throats of the customers too. Why don't those P2P and B2P games have to disclose explicitly what items/services are not included in the monthly subscription and box fees?
-
LOL. Not everybody wants MOBA but NWO is crowded because it is not a multiple-year long real life campaign. MMORPGs are supposed to be simulated adventures that allow players to set their own paths, in their leisure. Who care if undeads should be hurt by cold in this game or Neverwinter should be a ruin? Rules are dead,…

Good luck finding people to play with you online then. Online gamers want short, fast intense instances then developers gave them MOBA and such.
