This game is dead before it lives if it is going to be free to play, or any variation there of.
Name one notable free to play mmo that continuously makes head lines? None! There are no free to play WOWs or free to play EVEs.
Free to play is another way to say, decent into mediocrity.
Free to play games survive, but they do not live.
Every single free to play game out there is infested with some kind of farmer trying to make real world money.
I am very disappointed.
