[QUOTE=GetBent;26096705]The definition of Free-to-Play is pretty much microtransactions.[/QUOTE] Indeed it is.
I can't wait to try it! Hopefully there will be an alternative to some of the microtransactions.
Fuck yes.
Free to play, pay to win.
An interesting interview with GamersFirst's Bjorn Book-Larsson on why to revive APB. [url]http://www.examiner.com/pc-game-in-national/interview-gamersfirst-s-bjorn-book-larsson-why-revive-apb[/url] It gives a hints of what they plan to do, the following two answers are particualry interesting: [quote][b]What does GamersFirst plan to introduce or change about the game?[/b] Bjorn: For our first release, we just want to get a production version back up and running with basic modifications, along with premium features and items—including the ability to buy and lease premium items.[/quote] [quote][b]When do you plan to launch the new and improved APB: Reloaded?[/b] We plan to launch sometime in the first half of 2011, and then take 6-12 months to grow the game after that. We might try to come up with a ‘starter’ version that might have reduced graphics, and then allow you to upgrade to the larger version later.[/quote]

Sounds like a winner already.
And now I will consider playing it
Still not interested. The beta was so shitty its not even funny and unless the devs pulled some sort of miracle out of their asses it's still gonna be shitty.
GamersFirst, the guys who made WarRock? this should be interesting.
I hope the premium things won't be weapons. That would suck. Like BF heroes.
[QUOTE=proch;26099064]I hope the premium things won't be weapons. That would suck. Like BF heroes.[/QUOTE] They obviously will be.
[QUOTE=GetBent;26099093]They obviously will be.[/QUOTE] In that case I'm gonna hack :P
[QUOTE=hudsonian;26096606]ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff nonononono[/QUOTE] Are you retarded?

Buy now and get 40% off the sounds pack!
As long as I log in and I'll have everything I made, created, my maxed character, etc, I'll be happy.

"along with premium features and items—including the ability to buy and lease premium items." AKA everything except for a starter shirt with a smiley face on it.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;26096495]APB Sold, Definitely Going [B]Free-To-Play[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah free to play as in you can play it for free. Want to get weapons or the ability to create content? 20 bucks or something along the lines of that.
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;26106536]Yeah free to play as in you can play it for free. Want to get weapons or the ability to create content? 20 bucks or something along the lines of that.[/QUOTE] Free 2 Play, Pay 2 Have Fun.
Free to play for the second half of the year? I'm guessing it won't stay free.
[QUOTE=killz2much;26103248]As long as I log in and I'll have everything I made, created, my maxed character, etc, I'll be happy.[/QUOTE] They said that legally it may not be possible. A link was posted in the APB thread in the MMO section.
I hope there are Australian servers, I really want to check this out without having unplayable lag.
Free users will probably be stripped of all the awesome features in this game. Way to be a buzzkill K2.
The only thing that should be paid for are cosmetics, it's a dick move if you give payers an in-game advantage. Man, Battlefield Heroes' model used to be so good.
