Stat Reset. P2P automated Skill grouped tournaments daily. Really cool emotes for ingame. [example GG button] Insane portraits. Only problem I can see is what happens to us who bought the game? | ||

If you want to gain e-Viewers for the e-Sport you may need something like a SC-Reader... | ||

Why would they refund? You bought it almost 2 years ago (probably) and enjoyed it during all this time. If you buy a t-shirt, wear it for 3 months, and then it goes on a 50% sale in a shop, do you go and demand a refund? Seriously, this is a common sense. How much did you pay for sc2? Because last weekend it was on sale for 25eu instead of regular price, can you imagine someone e-mailing blizzard and asking for refund because a year ago it was 40eu? Second thing, remember that people using free 2 play would have limited options in game, so basically you would be paying to enjoy the game in full. | ||

Secondly, I hope it will not turn into "World of warcraft" -_______-. | ||

F2P didn't even work that well in quakelive. There is a big risk in ruining the game if they don't do that well. | ||

That's a very weird logic. I paid 45€ for sc2 on release day, now you can get it for around 20€. Does blizzard now have to give me my 25€ back? Of course they shouldn't remove content you paid for and make you pay again. But they certainly can change their payment system and give out content for free even though you paid for it a while ago. My idea how a sc2 f2p might work:
And that's pretty much it. So f2p is probably the wrong name for it, because it has nothing to do with the common micro transactions, but i guess you could call it a "modular" payment system. You don't have to pay for everything at once but you can get it in small pieces. | ||

- multiplayer - one name change - news and streams to competitve play ingame client - first mission of the campaign PAID - campaign - clan status - one bad ass skin per unit ( you don't want the game to be a circus with many skins) - name change - Sponsored area on the buildings (profesional teams only) - blizzard avatars - custom avatars - gsl map pack on ladder Etc.... F2p is a great idea only if done right and wih moderation. | ||

It's been done before. Many, many times. Usually it's done by giving the people that paid for it additional benefits like free items or unique skins and stuff like that. | ||
