1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

That's one of the reason's I think it'll be a temporary measure (a "free week" as opposed to "adopting the F2P model").  There's also the fact that if they kept it up it'd be cutting into PS2's profits.  However, there'd be nothing wrong with giving it one more shot at recapturing the old scale, especially given how the current hype has caused a wave of re-subs.

[Girlinhat]

That's not really fair.  "Cutting into PS2" profits doesn't happen.  PS1 is owned by the same people as PS2.  If you're spending money on PS1 you're paying SOE either way.

Except they still have to pay server costs.

If they have two titles with similar enough gameplay in their mind they are quite likely to send the old one to the chopping block in efforts to maximize overall profit.

Is SOE, though. They'll nix PS1 eventually out of strict spite. *grumblegrumbleinfantrygrumble*

Be interested if there's a PS1 free week. Never actually played the game

Vanu look like they know what's going on, lets play as them.

That just made my entire summer vacation.

I laughed, out loud.

I am unsure about all three factions.

I like the look and feel of the NC weapons and MAX'es and stuff. I always preferred slow powerful autocannons to chainguns and plasma... Buuut I like the actual factions of the vanu and terrans more. Especially the Vanu, transhumanist scientists compared to the almost religious ignorance of NC and TR. Also purple is pretty.

I don't know I could go for any of the factions I guess.

The NC are not the ones in possession of plasma weapons. You should look at the Vanu for that.

Indeed, if it goes F2P for a bit I will be able to see what this is all about... ^_^

Very interested in seeing what they're going to announce with PS1. My first thought was that they'd make it free-to-play for a bit, like an extended trial, but let you unlock some novelty/cosmetic stuff for PS2.

Not sure how those games will actually co-exist once PS2 is out, though. It's a different situation than EQ vs EQ2, isn't it?

The Vanu, supposed intellects who worship aliens as a way beyond humanity.
I'm unsure if this reminds me more of Scientoligists or Rednecks...

New conglomerate all the way.

Future is easily predicted.
They eventually win the war, happy times, everybody happeh, the governement grows more grumpy and dictator-esque and then it all starts over again.
Happens every single time, without fail.

Yay let's perpetuate the cycle!
