mmmm ive been reading the official forums to see how the discussion is going
apparently that horribly ugly woman Tiggs is still stating nothing is gonna happen, in a very disrespectful way towards the users
aside that, the discussion is kind of interesting, most people (myself included) believe this free to play mode will introduce an asian-mmo-like ingame shop, which would ruin the game in some way for people like us who liked it the way it was :/
AND, theres a thread where its mentioned that Brazilians will populate the servers and flood the chat channel with hauEHIUEHIAUEHA
these are our laughs in case you guys didnt know...ya its stupid i know
now, im from brazil (UNFORTUNATELY) and i cant stand playing games with brazilians, theyre noisy, nooby, beggars, and they will scam you in every turn if you allow them to
additionally, it is absolutely true that they infest any game thats free to play (like downloading a client), its like a swarm
again: this is not the kind of population you want in a game....and im afraid if this is for real (you just download a client to play the game) this will really happen
i really hope hanbitsoft requires at least cd keys to connect, making you have to buy the box regardless
on a sidenote tho, not many people around here (brazil) have computers capable of running hgl in minimum settings, so this might keep them away from the game at least for a while
