Everyone except Blizzard.I wonder if Square will cave in and drop the sub model on this like everyone else in the MMO industry is doing. I sure hope it does.
WoW's not dropping it anytime soon, but I would be surprised if their next MMO launches with one.Everyone except Blizzard.
Because of their huge focus on consoles. I am assuming they will not drop the model anytime soon, if ever. The scrap it and redo is mainly to relaunch on the PS3 to better reviews. If this was solely a PC MMO, then I could easily seem them dropping it to a F2P or P2P model. As they have a few other games out there I believe that are PC only and setup like this *Wakfu and others that escape me*. They know the market for console MMOs is practically non existent, so there most likely is better money to be made from a subscription fee.WoW's not dropping it anytime soon, but I would be surprised if their next MMO launches with one.
They've already stated multiple times that the game won't be f2p. If paying the $15 per month is really such a gigantic issue for you, just don't buy the game.I wonder if Square will cave in and drop the sub model on this like everyone else in the MMO industry is doing. I sure hope it does.
Man, I wish I could embrace this, seriously. I think I was one of the, like four people in FFXI that WASD'd it. I blame EQ.Controller>WASD any day of the week for movement.
I know. What was it, + or may enter on the numpad to pull up the context menu, the the left/right/up/down arrows? I lived under powerlines back then, what can I say?WASD? FFXI was numpad hell to control everything. Took forever to get used to.
Sidenote : if anyone got an invite and doesn't necessarily want it...I'll gladly mooch it off you.
You were a beast then. My left hand was too god damn busy spaming the Alt+ / Ctrl + skills and macros non stop (non stop being a relative term in FFXI).FFXI also had a "compact" layout that allowed you to use WASD.
Nah, I played using a controller because the keyboard controls were janky as hell. I just wanted to clarify that the movement controls weren't strictly numpad only.You were a beast then.
