You're way off the mark.

If they aren't getting money, you're less likely to get updates and new content, simply because they won't have the funds to develop them. Get your brain in the right place, sir.

I read that you are new to the MMO games market and it's easy to tell when the first thing you write is F2P.

As i said in a previous post here, if they make the game F2P, you'll have to BUY the new content in way of "episode" packs or pay to unlock new areas, pay to play this/that dungeon, pay to do this/that and even pay to repair as some game publishers do with their games, and they're not really making more money out of it, that's a myth and totally not true, they're losing both customers AND money with a pure F2P business model.

World of Warcraft has 10 mill players today, and it has been going strong as a P2P title for over 8 years.

What did they do to become so successful? They listened to their customers and provides new content every now and then as well as new raids/dungeons. What do we pay for all of that? Just a small monthly fee that requires one hour of work a month. If you can't work then that's too bad but then again, you're probably on disability welfare and should be able to afford it either way.

F2P is only for those who'se pockets are bigger than their intelligence.
