P2P -> F2P?

I know this subject may have already been addressed but as I was looking around (considering I am thinking about subscribing when summer comes), I realized how would this game turn out if it went free to play with an item mall? I know it really isn't hurting at all being Pay 2 Play and I will probably end up playing anyway in the summer but I wonder what are people's reactions on this game going to an item mall if it did?

Unfortunately, Guild Software isn't in a position where they can experiment with the pricing structure of the game.

Besides, giving an advantage to people with more real-life money isn't really what this game is about.

In addition to slime's post: Yes, especially since everyone has to pay to play a character that lasts longer than 8 hours of game time, unlike other games (like SilkRoad Online, e.g.), where you can buy special items that give you a clear advantage in gameplay over the non-paying player.

Item mall? you mean buying ingame stuff with real money?

That happens, i leave. Simple as that.

That's not going to happen, if I know anything about the devs. Then again, I might not know anything. Still, I'm pretty sure my hope of this not happening is not based on nothing.

The pricing system is fine the way is.

I would have it no other way.
