People quit MxO in droves. Sure, SOE did drive a lot of people away, but I don't think MxO F2P would have been that much more successful.

What MxO needed, desperately needed... was developers to continue to add things in to the game.

What happends when you fire a development team?

- There wont be no updates in huge patches for new storylines and new items/words ingames accept perhabs for a few bugs patches.

- There wont be no Graphic Updates, what a game needs every year depending on the season the demant for better grapics is in.

And you practically said it yourself:

"What MxO needed, desperately needed... was developers to continue to add things in to the game."

SOE elimated the one thing MxO needed before hand to atracked people to MxO more. Get it? Thats what killed MxO. I been there men, Beta and Live. And yes sure there where a few bugs, but truth to be told, it didnt...repeat IT DIDNT bother me at all.Ever MMO has a few bugs in the beginning because you know in the back of your mind it WILL get better because that is what the development team is for. But what good is a MMO when there own development team gets fired? Nada noppes nacko!

MxO F2P would be a succes if taken serieosly and the money it gets is well spend on development. That is the whole purpose. I mean look at Guild Wars..and you do noticed how awsom Guild Wars 2 looks right. Thats is because how well spend the money was on development and thats what you get with a F2P MMO if done right. And truth be told: MxO was Way better in concept then Guild Wars.

But c'mon, game angine, graphics, gameplay is old? What's World of Warcraft then? People still play it, yes it has tons of things to do, but I belive MxO would achieve a greater status if like you said, had developers to build the game up.
Why do you think F2P would be a bad idea?

Unfortunately they couldn't develop the game because the code structure was a mess apparently. Any new content was basically old content but with a different colour scheme, and sometimes with additional abilities.

But F2P wouldn't work because the MxO fanbase is a relatively small one, and SOE have the IP cost to think of.

"Unfortunately they couldn't develop the game because the code structure was a mess apparently." <-- you see even you dont believe that. Yes sure the code was a mesh apparently <--But REALLY was that all it took to make MxO in to a failed project: Come on.

MxO Fanbase isnt a small one. You only think it probably is because you dont see many people writting here or anywhere else men. But i KNOW it was big. It only when small after SOE killed it. But if it was done right: Men...we wouldnt have had this convu and we would be out there HJ dodgin bullets and taking names with a big ass fucking community. You all know that.
