Free to play?

When is it going free to play? We all know it's coming.

After they release the next Re-Made zone and sell you locked content.

but nothing free about that

this game will probalby turn out like eso free to play BUT you can buy eso+ which is kinda mandatory to even play the game without a headache

A game going free to play has to have an alternative business model to generate revenue. Often that comes in the form of micro transactions that either employ pay for convenience or pay to win elements that heavily attempt to influence players to purchase. Secondarily as well, this can include Appeal to Ego mtx such as decorations, various mounts, skins etc which to an extent, that already exists in game currently in some forms but not all listed just now.

Quite frankly, the likelihood that they'll switch to a f2p model any time soon is pretty small to none. They can kite things as they are for a few more years at least before they'd either decide to scuttle the ship so to speak or consider wringing the last droplets of revenue from it with a f2p conversion to kite for a year or two more after that.

I doubt they would be going to the expense of putting it on console if it was going to be free to play. People who whine about paying for expansions should find another hobby.

I didn't freeze my wallet to them. they did that on their own.

its not an expansion though. its the product of repossession of content and then turning around and selling it back. what minor changes they made to the game are dwarfed by the issues stemming from a lack of understanding on how to make a fun core game loop in an MMO and instead double downing on poor decisions made worse with piling on more poor decisions.
