G1 not only provides few updates, but has possibly one of the worst customer service and they also have constant problems. G1 charges extreme amounts of money for permanent cash shop items and they employ cheap tactics to get as much money as possible. They release new items and people buy it, only to have a sale of the same item 2 days later.
Honestly, I'd prefer if a game was B2P with all content available off the bat. I'd pay for new content only. This way we know the company can only make money by providing service and not by being sleazy in selling virtual items for absurd amounts of money.
is there any way to communicate with a company that makes f2p games and talk to them cuz i have an idea for a awesome game but i don't know how
and buy the way keep up the good work man i love MMOBOMB
Drakensang , Suprised you never metioned this as a browser based game for a D3 style game.
As for the relationship question. You know..I have been gaming everyday for a long long long time.
Been in atleast 50 good guilds over this time and i have seen guild members login everyday at the same time as each other, Play 7 day's a week with each other until they both log out, Even though some of these couple's have lived Ocean's apart,You cannot deny that there is some sort of love or felling's that have grown between these people.
With that , I say Yes, If they end up roll playing in thier gaming world, the bond grow's even more.
Do i recommend people looking for love or a relationship here, No.. for the point's Magicman has stated, But it doe's happen alot.
I'd rather Pay a sub than F2p or B2P, GW2 really p'd me off after my account got hacked.. If it was subbed i would have got all my items back and not some lame excuse of we don't have the means of restoring anything missing !
Peace

Whats your opinion on the "First comment?"
I just picked those two as recent examples as this practice has been going on for a while now and seems to be getting worse and worse. This has pushed a fair number or gamers to wait 1 to 2 years after a game's release to even consider purchasing the game, waiting for that Game of the Year/Ultimate Super Awesome Mega Collection.
You can say this has been going on since expansion packs were put out for games but those expansions usually came out 6 months to a year or more after a game's release and more often than not included enough content to justify the cost, sometimes being a completely new game built off the current game's mechanics.
games like rose online / flyff and domo and any like it with "upgrade protection" in cash shop , are cheap peices of crap with terrible gameplay run by greedy beaches that have no pvp value because unless you spend a fortune on cash shop to upgrade safetly then your just pk victim Xtreme .
and being a victim is never ever fun .
free to play games with upgrade protection need to just die already
for real peices of trash polluting the gaming world with there shabby presence .
