Suboxide

I'm not saying P2P players are better then F2P players but I think it comes down to money and time. I myself have probably 4 f2p accounts i've used for fun or even more and i think alot of ppl are like me then there are the real f2p players, ppl with f2p alts and the f2p players that made account and only used it once and so on; there have to be an unimagenable amount of f2p accounts.

Well this is certainly an improvement, now I have to decide whether to renew my sub and save my levels....

Found the "f2p keep the game alive" argument hysterical, yeah right, someone who is taking up system resources and not paying a penny for it is helping no end... duh !

f2p accounts have no more right to be maintained than my unsubbed p2p account, if you want rights, stick your hands in your pockets, otherwise, get over it cos you're just sponging

Firstly, I agree that no one should cry too much about unsubs losing everything - they can get a basic pack by participating in one of the events. It may make some of them take out a subscription. If Suboxide is right there could be hundreds, if not thousands of dormant unsubbed accounts where players have tried the game and not returned. If nothing else, this reset will clear a lot of dormant accounts, which will help in all sorts of ways.

I do, however, think we must be careful not to think of unsubbed players as somehow unworthy. Many of them will be players who are making up their minds about the game. Who among us did not start out unsubbed for however long before 'putting our hands in our pockets'?

I think the previous arrangements for unsubbed players was an unbelievably good deal and we can't blame people for taking advantage of it. The new arrangement - half XP for unsubs and no CATS - is a genius idea. We all know the worst part of the game is grinding. This will hopefully motivate a greater number of undecideds to pay up and support the game we all love.
