I have a couple of questions for those of you that play MMO's.
1. I've been playing this game on and off since the beta and totally enjoying it. It's been a subscription game but will soon be going "B2P". I assume that means "buy to play" but I'm not familiar with the lingo and I really don't understand what that means. If someone can spell this out in laymans terms for me I'd appreciate it.
2. I've noticed in game activity ramping up in the last week or so. Where I'd wander around and not see anybody for an hour or more I'm now seeing a few more people engaged in all kinds of activities. I'm happy with this as more people make getting through some of the quests a good bit easier but when the game first came out it was a damned madhouse. Am I going to see all the "bots" again? Is there any way to tell?
3. What happens to my subscription when the game transitions? I understand that I'll get the new version for free and, I believe, the DLC as well as some other perks but does my subscription change to where I just get more in game currency after the switch?
4. Will any of you be playing now that it's going to be free (or whatever)? I've been sticking to PvE play as I really don't understand the whole guild and multiplayer stuff but if someone I knew was playing I'd probably be more inclined to get into that aspect as well.
