World of Warcraft finally steals the WarHammer Online “perpetual limited free trial” hook.
Too little, too late, says I. The time to flank the F2P tide was a couple of years ago if not earlier.
It’s still probably a smart move. It will be interesting to see what effects it has.
As for me and my house? I’ll have a new baby Druid to play with when the itch strikes, and I don’t have to plunk down a sub for the privilege of picking up the game whenever I darn well please for a bit of sightseeing. Oh, and I can patch the blasted thing without feeling like I’m wasting a couple of days of a month’s sub or firing up a new dummy trial.
