			I've been wanting to get back into W* for a while, but the main thing keeping me away has been the idea that W* will soon be closed or made F/B2P. Has Carbine or NCSoft given any data RE this?

			the wildstar future seems good dude, come in and have lot of fun in nexus

The short answer is: we don't *really* know what they've got planned.
 
The long answer is: don't let it bug you. I've been here off and on since early beta, going on two years (sheesh, already) and still having a good time. I just came back after a couple month hiatus and honestly, it's better than ever.
 
Come on down, amigo. Don't let whatever the future might hold stall you out from missing a great game.

there are plenty of threads already on the subject but since you started yet another one..
 
1. of course they haven't. If they were going to switch to F2P they wouldn't announce it until it was good and ready to be done.
 announcing it early has no benefit to them but does have drawbacks
 
we will be able to speculate more when the next quarterly report is made available in a month or so and you can be sure there will be plenty of speculation done :D
 
2. I hope you have your flame proof suit ready, mentioning F2P is a surefire way to bring out the pitchforks, torches and tar

When it comes to F2P, I'm the dude with the flaming pitchfork. F2P is killing MMOs

I mean, the conversation won't go away, people are like Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on everyone's door, asking them if they've heard the good news about F2P.

Aren't you doing the same for p2p now? ;)

Except that the game's already subscription.
 
I don't often see many people dropping into F2P games to try to get them to go sub.

Meh. Not the place for this discussion ... again.  :lol:

Well, no ... but I have paid the "optional" subscription in every F2P game I've ever played. A *lot* of people do that, to avoid the nickle-and-dime BS that's given so many players a bad taste in their mouths.
 
F2P/B2P isn't necessarily a terrible thing if implemented alongside a subscription. Honestly, if you pay the sub and get everything, I still don't understand why folks complain about others coming in and enjoying the "free" parts.

			I really really don't want this game to die, and I am scared if it doesn't become F2P it will be gone in a year or so. :( IDK I love this game so much and I think W* is running out of options.

I will simply say this...
 
Don't worry about that stuff...If you like the game and enjoy it, hop right on in and have fun
 
If the game goes f2p then it goes f2p, if it doesn't it doesn't. I know that you love Wildstar as those for and against f2p do, but all you can do if that is your concern is to simply support it by having fun and enjoying your time on Nexus. You shouldn't shy away from having a good time for fear of what may be. As sad as I was to see Warhammer and CoH go, I have no regrets for my time subbed and have a lot of awesome memories of those games as I'm sure others do. I don't regret my time subbed to Rift, CO, or even TERA before they switched models either. I had fun and enjoyed myself regardless of what came to be in the future...
 
MMOs games change overtime and even if the game remained P2P, there may be an update that displeases you so much that you don't like the direction of the game and unsub, but that doesn't mean you didn't have a great time until that point.
 
So cast aside your fear and let the river take you friend.
