FTP basics 101 lets go though a rough overview what will work and actually turn this game around. 1. All races are unlocked except Four Free blood being one, of them maybe make new races that can be bought...2. All the classes are unlocked expect for four, maybe beast lord being one, maybe make if you bought the expac you get one free beast lord or you can buy it for station cash. 3. everything is unlocked expect for fabled gear. 4. everything is unlocked up to Adept 3 or whatever you call that now basically all the tiers but the last one for spells. 5. All zones are unlocked except the zones that have lockout timers mainly raid zones those zones are paid only or you can buy packs to unlock those zones 750 to 1000 points per. 6. make unlocks for master and fabled gear as they are (only thing you got right)7. Sell crafting rares for station cash8. Allow anyone to sell or buy items on the broker however limit the FTP user to 10 or less. <span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Do what i say here and you will revive this corpse ignore me and you will DIE a horrible death of lamer

New players playing FTP with no intention of every spending a penny and who will bail when they realize how little they get for FTP in this model compaired to other games. this game FTP plays alike a trial acount and we know the ratio of players that move from trail to a real acount in most games "not good"<span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #00ff00; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Don't tell me I am wrong the model i used is DDO the most successful FTP game on the market the reason they changed LOTR to FTP and what i think soe was trying to copy here but was ether to stupid or greedy to get it

Same answer3. everything is unlocked expect for fabled gear. Same answer4. everything is unlocked up to Adept 3 or whatever you call that now basically all the tiers but the last one for spells. This is set up well also5. All zones are unlocked except the zones that have lockout timers mainly raid zones those zones are paid only or you can buy packs to unlock those zones 750 to 1000 points per. All the zones are unlocked, with the exception of the new xpacs.6. make unlocks for master and fabled gear as they are (only thing you got right)7. Sell crafting rares for station cashUsed to do this, never looked for it myself so not sure if they still do.8. Allow anyone to sell or buy items on the broker however limit the FTP user to 10 or less. This I agree with, I was stuck in bronze for a short time as I couldnt pay for gold and it was a major pain. Probably the only major stumbling block to playing bronze or silver as it makes the game almost unplayable.Do what i say here and you will revive this corpse ignore me and you will DIE a horrible death of lamer </blockquote>I dont think there is much of a corpse here to revive, the game is thriving again. Im not a SOE fan boy, far from it. I think the game itself is the best MMO Ive ever played, but their support and programming is also the worse. I do admit that they, like any other company have to make a profit to stay in business. Its your choice, if you dont like it the way it is, move on to something else. Ive done the same a few times over the years, mostly because of the lousy service and programming. I keep coming back for the game tho, as I said its the best out there.

SoE's F2P is the opposite of other successful F2P games. Lotro mostly charges for new lands to explore, and opens up most classes to play. Making new players purchase classes that they have no idea what they can do, but opening up content for free, is completely backward to me. Why would any new player purchase a class for $7.50 when there are so many classes to choose from? EQ2X was not THAT successful, or we would have seen more of the servers open up like they were planning on doing, they were going to open up a Qeynos server if there was enough demand, clearly there wasn't.
