Lightbulb Pay2play VS Free2Play ?

Imo, P2P is great, because it's the money-maker of any gaming company. Take WoW for instances. A lot of people complain about the fact that you have to pay. I understand some people are broke, or just don't feel like wasting money on a game. But i'm all for P2P

- Updates constantly, patches, new expansion packs, server fixes, and of course lockdown on hacks/mods.

- P2P will ensure a company will update and check it daily. Unlike Diablo, starcraft, and warcraft where warden is almost never caught scanning.
(Warden is basically the search and ban device :P)

- Most people on battle.net's games are constantly using hacks, and mods or any 3rd-party programs. Especially Diablo II.

- A lot of companies put just as much effort into their f2p games, as p2p games. But at least you have better Odds with ending up with a hard-working team as far as Pay2play.

What on your thoughts?

P2P is way better. Even though you have to spend a little bit of money its worth more then playing lag servers, low quality etc on F2P. So P2P all the way!

Re: Pay2play VS Free2Play ?

actually the banning on WoW and Battle.net is the same in that blizzard only does mass bans every few years. So really warden is always working just since they only do perma bans every few years then you don't really notice the effects. And like I said its the same in WoW when they learn of a hack or exploit they only detect and ban people for it after at least a year or more.

I've never played a Pay2Play game (Unless you count games that come on a CD/DVD). I always stick to Free Games.

P2P usually has better graphics, yet F2P has lower set graphics. Usually P2P comes with a campaign, while F2P doesn't. Simple.

Re: Pay2play VS Free2Play ?

I like games where they give you a f2p version; however simplified it may be. It gives me a feel for the game and helps me decide if I actually want to pay for more or not.
