	How many new players do they think daoc will attract? I think it's a strange way to spend your resources.

The only reason this could make financial sense is if EA-Bioware-Mythic has future plans for a "free" to play version of DAoC in the works, as some type of "free" to play model of DAoC is the only way to draw in a significant amount of interest in the game. -----signature----- I'd become an American citizen if I could vote for Ron Paul as president of the USA in 2012 Uncompromised principle and integrity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njwXVZ2N_Xg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqAF-Alc7CM

It could become free to play if they add in like a cash shop, and you can buy items with real $ instead, and increase difficulty in order to get those items, and then they would have to make 80% of the content non tradeable and housing would go all weird, well u know the rest. -----signature----- Member of What.CD \| BTN \| PTP \| SCC Psychopathic 11L4 Warlock Proud Owner of 4TB, 1 Gbps Seedbox Owner of 1819 Video Game Soundtracks and Climbing Latest VGM Entry: Toy Music: Dancing Super Mario Brothers - http://vgmdb.net/album/2351

	Interesting point. Maybe all these noobie and lowbie oriented changes are in preparation for a move to free to play. But if that's their plan, they should get it done quickly since there are a bunch of shiny new 3 sided MMOs coming out in the near future. -----signature----- GW 2: Next!
