That's the big news, Age of Conan is going to be re-released as AoC:Unrated, f2p with premium content.

Atleast it will be populated.. too bad the class I was going for on the new server will be F2P available..
Barb available for F2P players or go with Conq? O.o

Interesting, hopefully it'll mean loads of newbs to kill.
Too bad you still have to pay the sub if you wanna do any kind of real endgame pvp.
Also just LOL at making only 4 classes free to play, that means those classes will be ridiculously overpopulated

Aye, bad move in my opinion. Another fucking stupid thing is that F2P people are chat restricted. What's the point then? If F2P people can't send /tells and speak in Global, etc, they're just useless Trial faggots who can't even speak to you unless you 'allow' them. It just creates a barrier.

ive tried my share of indie F2P mmos, they all sucked.
Also tried Lotro which sucked ass, then it got F2P, gave it another go, guess what, it sucked even more
Never heard a game thats f2p worth playing, if u gonna play a game that used to be sub, and now is f2p with micro transaction system, u might aswell pay the sub anyways, without the sub its totally gay

Free to play is gay, but only if the game has been created f2p, mmos like Anarchy, LOTRO etc are payable but I'm subscribing anyway so I don't give a fuck.
One good thing is though, at about 4pm today fury was pretty busy, 2 instances open in a lot of zones, including wild land etc. This can mainly be attributed to the free may gametime which only bodes well for when it goes f2p.
Marketing campaign + f2p + movie exposure is win for server populations. Content wise AoC is full of top notch PvE shit and if blood & glory is busy enough there will be loads of world pvp. I'm not 100% about bugs etc but everything seems fine, sieges supposedly work as well now. Also, when people see a 'hardcore pvp server' they automatically want to play on it cos they think they're leet. Meat for the grinder
