Will people really play such a gimped game?<br /><br />What about EQnext? Only thing I heard about it is that it will be completely scalable to fit the PC you are running it on, whatever that means.Pangoria Fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148359926488188195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-37675023508319412312010-08-13T23:45:35.448-04:002010-08-13T23:45:35.448-04:00@Magson - DDO is an entirely different game design...@Magson - DDO is an entirely different game design wise, and because of that the F2P model Turbine uses works perfectly. EQ2 and LOTRO are going to have different hurdles to jump in order to make the switch to a F2P model.<br /><br />@Green - You are really grasping at straws here with complaints against the new EQ2X.Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-57513184206792635512010-08-13T23:38:50.399-04:002010-08-13T23:38:50.399-04:00The more I read about SOE's plan for EQ2X the ...The more I read about SOE's plan for EQ2X the more I think they've got some pretty boneheaded people in that dept.<br /><br />FWIW, I think DDO did it right -- shared servers, so that if you choose to upgrade to a sub you keep your characters, plus the people who are subbed or have bought instances can show you the cool loot they've got to inspire you to want to sub. Only a few classes and races are locked, not 2/3 of them. And you can do some dungeons to give you a taste, but the "good" ones you still have to buy.<br /><br />It just seems really well done there -- designed to get you to want to spend more in the store or to subscribe. EQ2's seems to say "we're calling it 'free to play' but it's really just gonna be an exercise in frustration for you unless you sub."Magsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870589034885773525noreply@blogger.com
