I realize it is already F2P up to level 20, but hear me out.
With Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR both looming on the horizon, let's be realistic, WoW will lose subscriptions, now I don't know if the majority, but it will.
What if Blizzard, seeing that SWTOR has a monthly subscription, decided to go free to play like a week before SWTOR came out?
GW2 does not have a monthly subscription, but I imagine it would keep quite a few players on WoW instead of Star Wars. do you think Blizzard would ever resort to this? Or will they bleed out as much as they can before they lose more subscribers?
I think WoW will still go strong for awhile, possibly even a few years, SWTOR doesn't look all that new honestly, it's GW2 that concerns me, WoW going F2P at a strategic date would almost certainly cut SWTOR off from its subscribers.
Thoughts? I personally think it would be a pretty ingenious move, if not a slap in the face to Bioware, not that I hate Bioware, it just would be quite comical to see their confidence go out the window.
