..... but this is an arse-covering exercise. They have removed memberships, which means at any point they can shut the servers down and there's not a thing anyone can say or do. They will owe nothing to the players. So, in essence, they have prepared themselves legally for the future, should they ever have to take drastic action. I suspect they will see how the F2P model pans out. If people continue to open their wallets and the game covers the infrastructure costs, chances are it will stay online. The second that changes, it will be curtains for the game.
Unless you ask Skybird of course. Then everything is perfect
That's my point!! you nail it, how much they will sustain the game when there's no more income now that you can gain gm$ for everything you bag and has a CSS, Why I should open my wallet if I own almost every weapon, now I will not use ALL the weapons I own, just the one better for instant shot and gain gm$, no more fun to shot Does/cows/chickens with Bows/cbow if you only waste ammo; The moment they notice no more revenue to sustain the game like you wrote, GAME OVER for theHunter Classic.
That's why I think at least the 3 months membership will maintain alive the game, is a constant income, like my Grandma use to said "coins make the bills!"
