They did that with Ragnarok. It's pretty bad.

Anyway, the main argument against p2p with MapleStory is that most players DON'T actively spend money on this game. They either get mesos and buy NX that way (giving Nexon the profit, but letting the players play for 'free' as they aren't spending any money) or just tough it out and go NXless.

Making a game like this p2p will make people question the quality of the game further because of the dedication that paying for a subscription takes. So many people quit and come back that they wouldn't have a regular playerbase to depend on.

Continue on, freemium.
