Will the free to play system be changing?

I don't bet money on MMA or anything for that matter but I'd never bet on him. He's what's wrong with MMA in particular and sports in general. Nothing but a greedy diva who thinks he's bigger than the sport.

no free TBM reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Was the unlocking not on the release of the new EXP but around the Anniversary?

I'm wondering if this isn't an oversight. EQ2 froze their F2P expansion openings, so maybe that seeped over to our side. I could be (and hope) I'm wrong, even though I don't have any F2P accounts.

"Will you prevent the chaos she would unleash? Now is your chance! The Broken Mirror, EverQuest’s 22nd expansion, launches today!"

Nov. 18 2017 came and went and now, nearly 1 month later, on the launch of RoS, there is currently no free TBM.

I thought there had been an announcement that there wouldn't be any more free expansions.

^ and I was under the impression that was only EQ2, because they had a specific Free-To-Play server, which was getting free expansions without the playerbase there ever needing to subscribe.

In EQ1 you pretty much need to be subscribed to benefit from any new expansion offerings (AA, gear, etc) so it's a different situation. A free expansion will surely drive krono sales and subs.

All announcements were with regards to EQ 2 - not EQ. All indications were business as usual. If they changed something, it was recently.

I would be very surprised if this were true.

What? I have 8 accounts and 21 Level 105's. A free expansion always makes me buy subs for alt accounts. I also picked up a 5 pack of krono last month in order to get ready for expansion time. You obviously need subbed to get any autogrant AAs and then grind out some of the new(-ly available) ones.

I guess we can now consider you very surprised.

Why would you buy Krono to sub, when a one month sub costs less?

I thought the purpose of Krono was to sell for plat, or give to a friend as a way of gifting a sub?

You can hold onto a krono and choose what account you want at a later date. Also, if they decide not to open up TBM you can dump your krono

Well the main bosses of both games are basically the same, so I imagine what policy effects one has a REALLY good chance to effect the other

But why announce it for one game and not the other?

The thing is how would they implement it? Don't they sell individual expansions in EQ 2 whereas you have to buy the current expansion in EQ to get anything? Seems like a big risk to change to me but then again Daybreak seems to be forced to take a lot of risks by Columbus Nova.

Good luck to them. They are going to need all they can get.

Well, here's the current word:

......No free TBM?

The dynamics of TBM and the progression of TBM would make FTP worth a lot more than subscribing... In other words, FTP TBM would create a situation where just doing TBM progression on a FTP account would be enough power increase on a FTP account to make subscribing or even buying an expansion not really worth the money.

Oh really?
How so, at 1k capped AAs? (or 200 or whatever it is for the "true" F2P accounts that aren't silver)
