While I agree on most part i really disagree that playing F2P is all about receiving charity. It is true in a financial way but i don't care very much about that one.

Teaming and hunting bosses with F2P players brought loads of fun to me. In fact it was one of the activities i liked most for some time. And indeed it made no difference to my fun if my teammates were capped 125s or subbed 150s.

But... i personally never met a single F2P player that completely refused to sub at any future time and was still fun to play with. Those that saw F2P as a trial will most likely sub now. And that is the important part.

1) Because they can't financially afford to run so many servers at the current model style .

2) So your happy to play the game for 10hrs a day for months on end , for " free " ( i fail to see how that is hard work to be perfectly honest ) , and still expect more from the devs ................

Surely if you enjoyed the game that much and want to keep your current character/s , you would wash a couple of cars or mow someones lawn / do some gardening work each month ( or soemthing else , afterall , it really isn't that expensive ) and pay a subscription for it ?

Do not look a gift horse in the mouth. Your ability to play for FREE is a GIFT from WinchGate.

what kind of gift is it !!!!
as far as i know : if gifts have given you have not to ask to give them back !!
---------
so if you consider "the ability to play for free is a gift" then let ppl do that and do not say if you'arnt going to subb we will wipe your levels

This thread is mind-boggling! o.O
I have a hard time imagining a similar discussion in any other game....

The fact remains that f2p is at the beneficence of Winch Gate. If anyone wants the benefits offered to Winch Gate's paying customers, then pay for them. That is absolutely fair and anyone who says it isn't is ungrateful and greedy.

As to the quality of the people that play f2p, we're all people; so, why wouldn't they be just as wonderful or irritating, resourceful or dumb, friendly or trollish as anyone else? :)

The GIFT is that you can play for free. If they limited F2P to Silan, as has been done in the past, then the gift is still available: Play for free. If they wipe all F2P toons but continue to allow F2P, then the gift is still available: Play for free.

c'mon Gorran do not seem that you didnt understand what devs were trying to say
-------
they force F2P's to subb by indirect way cuz no one would want to lose all his mini-masters skills

Let's not turn this into a yes/no repetative and repetative thread please. I'll lock it if there are no new arguments forthcoming. Thank you for your cooperation.

For clarity, the merger is primarily a financial decision. Ryzom has been losing money for a long time. It was thought the open sourcing and "F2P" free-trial system would help. They did help, but not enough, and since Winch Gate's coffers are not bottomless, it was either close the game or cut back on costs. As server costs are quite high, a merge was the only way to keep the game alive.

If you love Ryzom, please subscribe and keep this wonderful game in the air!

Oh yes, there it is! Some really obnoxious replies with no attempt to disguise the contempt you have against F2P.

Let's set it straight right now. F2P is a marketing ploy, nothing more. It is not a 'gift'. Ryzom's best source of new players is through word of mouth. What better way to achieve that than through F2P. Of course with attitudes like those displayed above, I don't know how effective the marketing is. But at least he tells it like he believes - no attempt to hide it - and freely admits that his stand is well known.

Put me on your Ignore list - you surely just made mine. And from a name I used to respect. That shows you how little I knew. It's really amazing how some "pixel power" can effect some people.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT
-------
please as F2P's community we need some support( just some nice stuff !!) to push us to continue playing this LOVELY GAME - and most of us we will subb when we're able to

otherwise as you saw above !!! P2P's said that since F2P's do not help game ( pay for it)
they have no rights to ask for anything - is it right ?
thanks for your interesting again ( and sorry for my english)

I am subbed and yes I feel f2p people should be encouraged to subb too. But I must say I feel sorry for them especially if they cannot afford it at the moment. What if the player is too young to have a job to pay right now and is saving up all his pennies to play? To kill off their toon to me I feel is still like murder!
Maybe f2p should only be up to lvl 75 or something

This would be alright. When I started the f2p was Silan thats it. If I wanted to join my friends I Pyr I had to pay.
