News: Chinese Interview with John Smedley

[Shogun]

ah thanks, i missed that one.

ok, IF microtransactions are necessary, that´s the right way to do it. i don´t mind others having cosmetic goodies or even faster xp gain for real money, but some other games started off that way, too and screwed it by introducing buyable power later on, like better weapons. (battlefield heroes for example)

i share the fear that ps2 developement will be born dead if it´s f2p :-(
just look at developement of ps1, and this game still has a very high subscription fee that has been in place for 8 years, which should have been used for dev.
i hope the devteam will draw money from another soe game to make up for the years of cashmuling ;-)
if not... make ps2 subscription based, or free/premium like ps was during the cannonfodderprogram. but keep the game pay to buy so the cheaters can be banned and have to rebuy the game before they try again.
