Goodbye Tortue.

[Hitchens]

Not a big fan of free-to-play MMOs because they're usually supported by the company selling special in-game items for real-world cash. Some people don't mind that, but I've never been too keen on it.

[ownrage]

TMO's gonna cry about GM favoritism and head there to shit up that server...

[Kindarian]

it f2p alright with a catch its divided into tiers now read it .... its not totally f2p

[Diggles]

It's more like pay to play if you want to advance your character at all.

250 AAs if you're a free account. lol

[Hailto]

Free to play if you want to play a Warrior/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard and have 4 bag slots, woohoo.

[Flunklesnarkin]

free to play means pay to win ;o

[Gibcarver]

EQ2 "free to play" meant having to pay 2bucks per raid item you equip, 15 slots...free, yeah.

You will be sorely missed. :(

[veto]

screw that, i remember reading about the progression server and the way they handle their raid targets: gm decides the guild rotations, sounds REAL challenging

[Anesthia]

EQ2 F2P sucks, EQ1 F2P will suck. R.I.P. EverQuest, all hail P99.

[Flunklesnarkin]

F2P everquest... oh what a grand time it will be spending your paycheck in the item shop >_>

[Gwence]

guys, this is the 3rd thread on this topic..

I've found one in server chat, off topic, and now RnF..


where else can they be found? Those are the 3 main areas I check.

[kak_vander]

I'm only here because Velious is where the game was best. I don't want all the rest of the junk.

[Diggles]

you have to be a 14.99 subscriber to access Fippy. LOL

[Diggles]

Although, when I was playing for a month in November, I have to say, new Freeport is pretty awesome, city feels alive.

[Gwence]

fuck that, that's the dumbest thing anyone has ever said


new fp blows hard

[Sporkotron]

Because people play P99 because its free, not because live is garbage now.

Stupid...

[Diggles]

fuck that, that's the dumbest thing anyone has ever said


new fp blows hard

nice goonquest sig nerd

[Gwence]

you wish you had one

[Jon Lemon]

something awful really lives up to its name

[awimer01]

p99 being free definitely has something to do with people playing on it (though I will happily donate to the cause), but the fact that live is full of asstons of rediculousness is what got me interested in p99. Can't make a friend because your 80 and still living in your parents basement? Get a merc! Something about that just kills the game for me. Plus, there is such a thing as too many bells and whistles.

[Prinny24]

I'll keep a close eye on it and check if any thing changes

[Humerox]

Because people play P99 because its free, not because live is garbage now.

Funny...because I'd play if it was pay to play here, I've donated to P99...and I quit live precisely because it was garbage and that was in 2006.

I wouldn't play live again if they paid me.

[Diggles]

Sarcasm, humerox doesn't get it.

[Humerox]

emphasizing the point

diggles doesn't get it

[Gwence]

EQ Next F2P for me and only me

[Saidi]

Ew... just because regular EQ is now free to play doesn't mean that they didn't still ruin the game... and this is coming from someone who only gave up on live about a year ago. Other than AAs, I miss almost nothing from the live servers.

In short:
Live servers? Fuck that.

[Diggles]

If Fippy was accessible to silver players I would actually bother with it, since Bertoxx is basically just dead it seems.

[Rikimeru]

rip p99? hahaha eq live is a total joke.

[Jon Lemon]

EQ has been f2p for years now (except more expensive)

exp pots, mana regen pots, etc been available for RL cash on subscription servers since wut like 2008? game is completely unplayable
