Re: F2P or P2P?

Hello there,
Originally the game was just like any other P2P MMO. That is, you bought the client and then payed a monthly fee. Then the company had financial troubles and the game changed hands to another company, but that company had problems, and then....well, a mess ensued. The game shut down for a while, but has now come back. The plan, as far as I know, is to make it P2P again whenever they can. After all, they have no source of income right now! However, last I heard the pricing is planned to be lower than most other MMOs. As for when it will change...no idea. The original plan was that it would change to P2P in January, but as you can see that did not happen. For now, just think of it as an indefinite free trial.
