I see only 1 (one) problem with B2P

e.chiesa73b16_ESO · January 2015

Will people without an active subscription be able to post in these forums came B2P?

Because I hope that all the people who are now whining and crying as if the world is gonna end with B2P and will unsub, won't be able to keep posting their madness here.

I suspect not.

I suspect yes. Once you buy the game you can play it.. Therefore I think you can post in the forums. A subscription no longer allows access to the game, buying it does.

Of course they will. There's no other way to solve it, players without a sub are still players.

It would be a very prudent decision to allow them to. The B2P crowd will have the most economic incentive for the company.

Granted, B2P is a little different but the same principles still apply.

For a cost, I suspect you'll be able to do anything...

Yes, but most games that keep the subscription alongside F2P/B2P don't allow posting on their forums. Which is why I suspect not.

There are arguements for and against it, and I'm actually ambivalent about it (ambivalent: holding conflicting opinions on a subject (original definition, and the one I'm using)).

I assume they will be able to keep posting, based on the fact that I can.

I never even bought the game, only played the betas, but for some reason I never understood kept access to the forum.

It would be very odd if I could post but people who bought the game, paid the sub and then cancelled it couldn't.
