what if WAR went free to play ?

most people think that this would be the end of war but they never say how so lets look at the other games that went free to play.

one that i am thinking of looking at is POTBS this is just about to go free to play but has a Cretan content which you must pay for its still going strong despite the free to play model it has taken, so could war do the same yes if it is implemented right but you have to look at the industry to see what my happen down the path for the MMO industry.

WOW is huge i dount think i need to stress this point but it has cornered the market on subscriptions and most people can afford to play 2 MMO's let alone have the time to play them, when you buy an MMO you ecspect it to grow over time and to change WAR has been going throw its biggest change at the moment. as i think every one will agree that it will kick ass when 1.4 comes out.

any readers of the escapist will of seen the article form a industry big wig this week saying that the free to play format for MMO's is the way forward and that the sub is dead. at the moment it looks like the MMO is going to change big time will WAR change with it and it will if it wants to survive.
