Pretty ugly I'd say, as always.

Well, we'll just have to see what it's like, enjoy the first few days while you can

ChipMHazard · 2014-01-25, 06:53 PM

Aye, now people just have to spread the word as much as possible. SOE may or may not send out a notification, personally I doubt that they will, so it will probably be up to you lot

PS2 is pretty tough on the hardware side. Also a lot of newbies that showed up during the first 6 months said they greatly preferred pretty much all aspects of PS1 aside from graphics/gunplay.

If SOE would just advertise on their website that PS1 is F2P for everyone, I'm sure we could get a good dedicated cult pop.

I'm ready to advance beyond BR 30.

Fortunately it should be much easier to get people to check the game out without a bunch of conditions in the way...We do all need to get word out about this as well as we can though, otherwise the population will fizzle out...again, and if it flatlines it is nothing short of hell to kickstart again, as we've seen.

Perhaps we could all decide on a weekly event of sorts, and mention it when we bring up the game to people? having a weekly event should at least help keep the population from dying off fully. I think we tried that before and it admittedly didn't work as well as we would have liked, but I think keeping it in mind and mentioning it to new players may well improve its chances of success.

Personally I also feel that getting people into outfits would help player retention as well, as it makes them more invested in the game. It will give them a group to run with, and new friends, new reasons for them to stick around and keep coming back. I strongly feel it would be worth considering.

MY BODY IS ready and it will be nice not having to worry about gunning your own vanguard/prowler tank again and leave the gun to somebody else

MasterChief096 · 2014-01-26, 01:54 AM

Any chance Hamma can send out a huge email (to everyone) that it is free when it finally does go free?

Chefkoch · 2014-01-26, 01:59 PM
