GW2 isnt F2P.....


F2P= a game with an item mall and is completely free

B2P=You just but the game with no sub fee

P2P=You have to buy the game and have a sub fee


So i dont know why everyone is saying GW2 and GW is F2P it isnt its B2P! Please get your facts straight.And for those people who want this game to be F2P.It isnt gonna happen so just sit and go play some other game.This game will probably not go F2P until like 10years or if the korean dev. decide to do it or not.

I just skimmed the 4 previous pages and no one said GW/GW2 was f2p.....

edit: I don't think anyone got their p/f/b2p terminology wrong at all actually!

I smell an idiot on the loose.How exactly does a publisher become "free to play" and since when did publishers start making the MMO's? Oh yea, they cant and they dont.


Simply replacing words shows a lack of creativity in insulting someone. tsk tsk.

Anyways, you misunderstood my post.

"I dont think 'the market' is going free to play"
makes sense in the context of the original post; The market is going towards free-to-play was the original argument made by OP.

"If anything NcSoft is going towards free to play, which is how it should have been anyways. They're not exactly known for making good mmos."
While they don't literally develop the game, they hire the people that do. Therefore, they are apart of the process of making a game.

Thank you, come again.

Do you think Tera has what it takes to remain a pay to play service, or do you think they will conform to the Free to Play market less than a year after launch?



Seems like these days more and more MMORPGs are going to the F2P market and making more money by doing so!


LOL @ ^....Sigh.....

This a joke?

Tera will not go F2P, not until it becomes clear that the subs have dropped off to the point where a cash shop will make more money than the subs. This is not a clone of WoW done wrong, so it will not start to die off fast like SWToR or Rift.

However, I notice a lot of hate on GW2. From the replies, I can tell that not a single one of you was good at GW1 nor have played the Alpha for GW2. The game is amazing. I can't tell you anything that isn't officially posted due to NDAs, but it is amazing. One of the reasons GW1 was so successful, without having a true MMO open world was because it was B2P.

The simple fact is that you can play both. It costs the same as Tera, without the monthly fee.

I have now played two of Tera's betas and the GW2 alpha and soon the closed beta. They are both amazing games. I don't understand the butt hurt from this community over GW2. Especially when the only argument is 'B2P lol only way they could sell the game' and 'lol new style of tab targeting'.

Please, get good.

The hate on GW2 is caused by all the GW2 fanboy that loves troll every single game out there, and Tera been the one closest to coming out it hit the hardest. Yes most of us have no play GW2, but neither have most of them, and most of them never play Tera either.
And how do you know if anyone of us was good or not at GW1? Do you read minds? I found GW1's pve lacking and that was a turn off for me. GW2 as seen from the video doesn't look that much different in term of combat, which i'm kinda of sick of. Does that make it a bad game? probably not but doesn't look appealing to me. Am i still going to try it? Probably because i'll love to get some of my facts with the game strighten out and paying 50 bucks is worth it to get the facts.
