As an Eve Online player over several years, I feel the F2P design is somewhat limited in the sense of what ships you can fly. The game itself is mostly PvP oriented, with most of the combat fleets comprised of Battlecruiser class ships or higher, and anything smaller (which is all you get access to with the current proposed F2P model) almost always demands its Tier 2 counterpart. Given that you are restricted to only Tier 1 items as F2P, I would like to see at least Battlecruiser class ships included in the F2P model.

I am not really into mobas but even I have to admit the way crush online was built makes me interested with it. I just hope revelation online is awesome how they devs are claiming it is I hope it isn't another claiming our game is so cool then when you log on it's lame. But I'm planning to join revelation online after it launches. But I have no idea what to say about eve online's free 2 play system. I wanna say it's lame but it feels like it's just right but I'm against the free 2 play system they are doing but obviously they are doing it to gain more players. In my opinion I rather just subscribe I don't think eve online's free 2 play service is worth it.
