Another one joins the ranks of free to play. Didnt even know this was going to happen. One more expansion from WoW and I see them trying this out

I tried it once at the behest of a friend but I they wanted to charge to play certain classes and frankly why would I pay to play a class before I could find out if I liked that class?

Isn't EQ2 free since a while already? I "tried" it again, it was free, and that was at least one year ago.

Yeah this is OFN for the most part.
It's all a bait and switch anyway. Sure you can play for free, but you're only getting 25% of the game . Even then you're usually limited on money accrual, inventory space, character slots, etc..
Anybody who takes a game halfway seriously won't be content with what's offered for free.

Been f2p for at least a year, thinking close to two. I ended up "buying" the game to unlock a lot of stuff, and then I got to lvl 20 and just got bored

Was fun for a little bit, but when the levels slow down around 20 and you don't see anyone in the world, it tends to get boring fast.

EQ2 went Semi F2P earlier this year
you only had access to 4 races and 6 classes and could only level up so much with out paying SO if you wanted to unlock stuff they had regular premium and platinum setups and each gave more and more but they were all still subscriptions so it wasn't a true F2P infact the Platinum subscription was a damn scam if you ask me
now it seems they have embraced LOTRO idea of F2P which i love and hope thats the direction MMO's take if they are going to do this F2P stuff
EQ2 wasn't all that bad.. it has everyone i liked about MMO's but can be a bit to grindy and hardcore EQ fans can be scary
