i am a member of this community and am glad to help keep the servers running and free of shitheads. however, the only thing subscribing to a p2p game would do is put money in the hands of the company that makes it. at ibis, my money goes to improving the servers directly.
also, 10-15$ a month is quite a bit to me, considering how i'm at school, paying rent utilities and food. the money i build up over my last co-op needs to last me another 4 months, until my next co-op cycle starts, so i really don't have the cash to spare since i'd rather not be forced to ask my folks for more money than they're already paying for my school. plus, i don't have the time to make it worthwhile. my grades are bad as it is, and adding another distraction on top of tf2, css, LoL, Skyrim, Stargate, and anime is not a good idea.
actually putting money into a P2P game does what you said "money goes to improving the servers directly."
it's with that money that P2P games constantly release new content, fix issues that pop up and have top notch customer service.
granted you're a student... I still don't understand the logic of 15 dollars being a lot though unless you're scared 2 work... minimum wage is what... 8 dollars there or something? christ even if it was an even 5 it's like 2 hours a month of work 2 support a P2P and get about 10 times more than you would out of a F2p.
if F2P games were on the same level as P2P I could kinda understand... but they aren't even remotely close... there's a reason people pay into P2P MMO's... and it's not cause they like throwing money out the window... it's cause they want a solid gaming experience which you will only get with a P2P MMORPG

"Intolerance and superstition has always been the domain of the more stupid amongst the common folk and, I conjecture, will never be uprooted, for they are as eternal as stupidity itself. There, where mountains tower today, one day there will be seas; there where today seas surge, will one day be deserts. But stupidity will remain stupidity."

ive played that and it doesn't compare 2 any P2P game like WoW in terms of Content...
there's a reason 10's of millions of people pay 2 play MMO's when they could just do it for free...
any 1 who has delved into both P2P and F2P MMORPG's knows you get far more with P2P... if you didn't, P2P wouldn't exist...
ive played basically every F2P mmo you can name that's known and ive played pretty much every P2P MMORPG over the last 13 years or so... ive yet 2 see a F2P MMO even come remotely close 2 what a P2P offers.

Oh, forgot to mention. I don't know if they balanced it out yet but if any of you play a Sith Inquisitor (Sorcerer), the madness tree is OP as hell for pvp. Top of the damage and kill chart all day everyday.
