Paying comes with a type of insurance, and NCsoft typically f`ucks up free to play games but they manage pay to play games much better.Might be so, but paying monthly fee for a game is bullpomegranade. When I spend time on something I want to be able to access it at any time, regardless of if I'm active or not.
I really do believe F2P with premium content is the best model nowadays. F2P will always get the biggest playerbase, and even the non-paying players will make profit for the company. And there will be those hardcore addicts who pay astronomical sums for virtual currency like NX.
P2P isn't that good however. Take minecraft for example, game costs only 20euros, yet there's millions of cracked clients. For a small company like Mojang it's not easy(or possible) to fight against piracy either.
Playerbase-wise, what I think you mean here... I agree. Obviously hackers and other idiots will have it way easier when they can just create another free account when banned.
On another note,
I've said this before and I'll say this again. Hyung-tae Kim is one heck of a pervert. I'm somehow afraid that B&S will run into some problems when it hits the western market. Just imagine the flood of "sex object" claims.
Oh and remember guys! No B&S screenshots in Southperry.
