PlanetSide 2 is going F2P. This had to happen to compete, Tribes and Firefall being Free to Play made it seem like a bit too costly. This also means I will definitely be playing from launch rather than “umm”-ing and “ahh”-ing until deciding to play it after everyone else has been playing it for a few weeks, condemning me to always being behind everyone else with the time based leveling skills system. DAMN YOU TIME! DAMN YOU TO A SNAKEY HELL!
I do hope the F2P stuff is limited to fluff and not superior weapons. Balance is of vital importance in a PvP player skill based game like PlanetSide. The game will bomb if it becomes Pay2Win, and I will be very sad indeed.

As it's released by SoE I'm afraid you will be greatly dissappointed, Wodge…My jaw would unhinge if they didnt at least implement pay2getAnEdgeOverFreebs.
SoE. Just say no.
I will be giving it a go. A small nexus band.
the good thing about the first version was a small band can still do a lot. So fits us well.
I too hope its not f2w but ffaff has a point.
But if it's just fluff, surely not enough people will bother paying?
You would be suprised how many people will buy fluff items to make them look good. If you allow better weapons and the like I think more people would give up as they couldn't compete. Personally unless its really skewed I would see it as a challenge to beat the cheats.
