POF in Massive Gamer

[MacIronhawk]

Massive Gamer: I don’t suppose you want to tell me how many subscribers you’ve got, but can you tell me the proportion of users who subscribe, versus that of users content to play the free game?

Goslin: We give quite a bit of the game for free. The exact figures depend on the promotions we’re running at the time, but generally, around 10% is paying. We use the velvet rope model.

If that's true then nine out of ten people I see aren't paying members.
Or did I miss read it?

Maybe that is the problem, they never get on and see most the players are unlimited.

I am just trying to remember if I saw any basic while the taverns were full with the gm's. Guess there were a few canceled accounts running around.

Yes, they emailed us, but when I emailed back they didn't respond,

and I can't make a post without this:

It's because they are not allowed to have an open discussion and dont have the resources to allocate to a full time team to moderator the threads. It would be a nightmare for them because of the legal issues.
