Wow, didn't expect to see so much hostility here. Alright, first...

Sounds like you really want to play this game for free, but have access to all the content us others pay a monthly fee for. Of course there are limits to what you can do on a free account...that's why we PAY TO HAVE THE EXTRA CONTENT.
|
Did you read the entire thing? I never said free players should have all the content, nor have no limits. My point was that there wasn't enough free content to create longterm players.

No need to have a bunch of non-paying people crowding the seas

That's why I suggested paying-members only areas. Miss that part too? There could even be payed-only servers.

You were just complaining that there's TOO MUCH content not available to freeloaders. So...you suggest that we give more access to quests, weapons and upgrades to the free players and THAT would make you willing to pay $5 more/month?

My complaint is that, with a combination of everything I listed, I woulden't pay $10 a month.
Let's take a look at Runescape. That game is roughly $6 a month to unlock all the content. Neary 80% of the continent is locked, half the skills are locked, and all the best gear and accessories are locked. Yet, even without paying a dime a person could play a character for years. Runescape has over 1 million payed subscribers. I've played the game for years and have been an off-and-on subscriber.
The whole purpose behind this thread was to express suggestions on how this game could become more sucessful, not complain about the price.
