Back in December, Bioware swore up and down they weren't looking into F2P for their fledgling MMO. It seems their tune has changed after a few botched updates, and a good chunk of their player base moved on to greener pastures. In a recent interview with lead designer Emmanuel Lusinchi, he spilled the beans that he's looking into making SWTOR a F2P MMORPG.
He is quoted as saying "The MMO market is very dynamic and we need to be dynamic as well," he says. "Unless people are happy with what they have, they are constantly demanding updates, new modes and situations. So we are looking at free-to-play but I can't tell you in much detail. We have to be flexible and adapt to what is going on."
Can't say I didn't see it coming.
