I mean, how many times have Matt & Smed talked about sidegrades, cosmetic purchases and the importance of maintaining a fair & level playing field?

So in my eyes it simply doesn’t make sense for us here in Europe to tamper with the exquisite & finely tuned gameplay balance of PlanetSide 2. I think adding a bunch of über-power items so we could just turn a quick buck would fly in the face of a lot of the idea and beauty of PlanetSide 2.

So while it might happen in the future where we may have some exclusive items on either end (I’d dare say at this stage it would be mostly cosmetic stuff), we will strive to ensure that they fit within the awesome PlanetSide 2 gameplay framework.

So no, there's no plans to change the PlanetSide 2 F2P model in Europe.

This statement dose nothing to put my mind at ease. All it really says is short term you plan to stick to the model set down by SOE. But long term I suspect your already thinking about how you can cash in once the F2P model has peaked in its profitability.

So basically is what your saying is once you've made as much as you can form the F2P model you will change it to P2W.

Not the answer me and I suspect allot of the EU community was hoping for.
