>.> Devils Advocate: 1000% addition to a dwindling user base isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. It is a good thing to see that CO is growing though. What remains to be seen, however, is how much extra revenue this brings in. They could gain 1,000,000 new players... but if very few purchase anything then the numbers are off and in the end it is not working. The only real issues I have with CO F2P are how many things require unlock and how.. uninspired the base Archetypes for free users are. LotRO saw a surge of something like 300% in profits, never mind the surge in active users {they reported adding over 1,000,000 unique new active accounts post F2P} [and LotRO was a game that still had steady subscriber numbers when they decided to go to F2P after their huge success w/ DDO F2P] Good on CO for having some good news - it looked like it might have been heading for the MMO Graveyard in the sky, F2P may just be its saving grace.

Good for the company and everything, but I loaded up the game last month after not playing since the month of release, and deleted it again within an hour. It just grinds my gears.

I find it to be "so so" fun wise. I don't care for the engine/control scheme [/ui] they use {was a beef with STO as well, since they seemed to just port the CO engine over}. Best way to find out if you will enjoy it is to either watch some videos on YouTube or download and jump in - the biggest advantage of F2P is lack of a barrier to entry :)

Yeah but I live in Mexico, downloading a game like that here takes at least 1 full night and probably the following morning too. How does it compare to WoW?

Hard to compare CO w/ WoW - 2 different methods of play, 2 different settings, 2 different games. Look up some YouTube videos - I haven't played enough of either WoW or CO to really even start to give detailed turn by turn comparisons.
