TF2 is still a fine game and many of the vanilla weapons are still the best all around. I think my loadouts consist of about seven new weapons.

This has been such an interesting ready at first it was all doom and gloom, now that smed straighten a few things out I can defiantly say I'm really looking forward to this game being released at beta! Thanks smed

The only game I can even slightly think of that has done F2P right is TF2, and that essentially lets you play the entire game for free at any time.

If LoL is his inspiration I can only assume that guns will rotate in and out of service unless you buy them...

The weapon "drops" worry me... but as long as I don't have to grind orcs and goblins to get a shiny new weapon then it's worth checking out for me.

Or you could purchase them and support the game you enjoy.

Now that we know we won't have to foot a 15$/month bill I'd almost be willing to get something each month just to mess around with.

@Smed

Since you guys have settled on the F2P, can you at least require a CC being entered.....SSN, mother's maiden name, or something to minimize the hackers from even getting through the door


......oh, and I guess this also implies that all the preorders are not legit

Agreed. I also really don't like the idea of having weapon availability cycled in and out of the game and swapped/cycled with weapons in the store. If I start using a particular weapon varient that's freely available in-game on regular basis because its particular stats fit my playstyle almost perfectly and I grow to really like how the weapon works, I'd be pissed if a logged in one day to find that it's suddenly only available to me if I fork out some green in the store.

I have this image in my head of a corner dealer hanging out in the local schoolyard that every few weeks rotates out which drug he's giving out free to the kiddies until he's got every child out there hooked on at least one of his products. Then once everyone is addicted he knows that no matter which ones he holds back and demands payment for he'll have a at least a few poor souls crawling to him cash in hand to get their fix.

But I'm somewhat confused.. WTH is a "drop?" Can someone elaborate? Is it something akin to a random powerup that a monster leaves behind after you kill him?

Naw, I prefer earning items. Buying your guns is boring.
