PSO2 Questions / Release Date Speculation

[Zipzo]

The thriving player communities of F2P online rpgs/MMO's are often very successful, such as D&DOnline, GuildWars 2, Spiral Knights, and some of the KoreanMMO's each have well over a million, or multi-million players. Not all are, but I am just saying that F2P *seem to me* to be a lot more inviting than new MMO's with a per-month subscription....

Kind of a moot point...the number one online game in the world (based off of financial success and general popularity) has over 10-11 million players and on top of the sub fee they run a shop with optional purchases like mounts/pets and other convenience type options like server transfers, race changes, and name changes. Their income from these features alone is nothing to scoff at, regardless of there already being a subscription fee.

Blizzard does both and they are on top by a sheer landslide.

A game will be popular if it's a quality game, it has little to do with f2p or p2p.

Console? lol yeah right. Look how the PS2 and 360 versions have held out....besides a console holds back a game to it's fullest potential

Also, are yall seriously gonna go through this same sh!t again like NA PSU did? Have fun being a a year+ of updates....again.

Also stop being cheap....get a job or a better job. Hell I'd pay $15 a month if it's worth it.

I agree that the NA PSU sucked for being behind in updates. But without being able to read JP you can't fully enjoy the game not knowing the storline, taking twice as long to look for item info etc etc. I guess JP PSU has a close knit community of english speaking players but I couldn't enjoy it half as much as EU PSU which I clocked up far too many hours on. Would Sega not learn from previous mistakes and make all updates global?

I'd also pay $15/month as well.

I believe someone else already said this before but... if you looked at the SEGA forums, there was clearly a sub-forum dedicated to PSO2 talk. Why have it if there isn't any plans of bringing it over?

And from what I hear, PSU as little as it is now, still brings in money for SEGA. It would be SEGA passing up a cash cow if they didn't bring PSO2 over! I am fully confident that they will be bringing it over.

I don't think $10 is a bad price. That's hardly the price of a good meal. Anybody who isn't living under their parent's roof should be able to scrounge up $10. I agree with the "how to make the $10 a month PSO2 fee" thread. Ha ha.
