I see where you are coming from and agree. The downside is...even those that pay for this game may be paying too much. I've put money into this game and it seems more worth my time to pay for a $15 sub for a much better game. At least then it would be cheaper than what this cost.

I wish they would give the option for a monthly sub that would give us more play time and unlock all weapon slots for those willing to pay a monthly fee.

But as it was said before, they would not make nearly enough money that way so better option is to not go over $15 a month on this game and just play it casually for now.

Others take the more extreme method and don't pay a cent. Which, I agree, can be a problem.

You know good well that isn't what it means. It just means you can log into the game for free and do SOME things in this game for free. It is a clever loop hole in advertising to suck people in.

I wish such MMOs would stop calling themselves free to play just as much as you. It is misleading but there is nothing you can do about it. Just know that because they say free, does not mean they have any obligation to make this free. Why would anyone make a game out of the goodness of their heart and pay for your time to play?

@ Icee, It's free to play. I completely agree.

@zazabar, I mostly agree, with the caveat, not paying a single penny does not make you a leach...AT ALL. I haven't paid a cent, i may or may not in the future, but even if i never do it does not make me a leach. Why? I've already got my brother to play the game, and have suggested it to others. My brother has suggested it to others as well. Even if neither of us (my bro or i) pay a cent, eventually my word of mouth advertising is going to generate revenue for OOO.

I think criticizing people for not paying is as misguided as criticizing the game for not being free.

@clubsdeuce, Is that how you really feel? If this game is gonna cost money you'd rather pay to play a better game? Go for it. You know what i want to play? This game. Not because it's free, but because it's fun and it fits a very great niche. It's kinda like zelda, kinda like a an MMO (lol), kinda like an action RPG (lol), and it is its own game.

@everyone, i'm honestly surprised more people don't enjoy 'the grind' of managing Energy. It's completely novel for me to manage my energy in terms of play and in terms of a resource and in terms of a commodity. It's novel stimulation, which is the crux of videogaming (more so in the past). Novel stimulation is the reason that you still don't pay mario bros. This has become a lil less important though, in terms of better more complex video games as video games have evolved, but is still innately important in terms of entertainment. Otherwise i'd watch goodwill hunting every date night because it's a good movie.
