EQ or EQ2? EQ2 has been F2P for a while now.

If you say EQ, I might resurrect my froggie cleric!!!

whats eq going to sell ?

AC could just do lower xp rates if you dont sub, everyone who still subs would. what keeps me from playing or subbing right now is no one plays the games pretty dead. make it f2p so many would come back. i would sub again if my server was not so dead.

AC will not go FTP the code would need to be overhauled to support a cash shop.

AC2 on the other hand could be relaunched as ftp but they would need to partner with steam or they wouldn't get enough potential customers to make it worth the running costs.
