Hmmm, yes amazing what you see when you actually look.

Just change the letters around in \'Keldorn Mortal Man\'  and it actually translates to \'Naked Troll or Man, m?\'.
I think the answer must be the troll, after twisting my words like that ;) :P

Because many a game (especially MMORPGS) initially promised to be free but switched to P2P once enough people started playing.  Either you MUST pay or there will be many unbalancing features introduced for the non-P2Pers.  It\'s a legitimate concern.

well, still...even then if they promised they were going to be free and then later changed to pay to play, then they thought they were going to be free, they didn\'t know it would have to become p2p because they ran out of money/wanted money for their work....it\'s not like asking if it is going to remain free will help.

Yeah, we all know it\'s either going to go p2p or it\'s going to fail, but there have already been like 5, 10 page threads on this and all have the same exact stuff in them.

ths game is opensource... so that anyone can host a server and accept players. We won\'t be able to make pay anything even if we wanted to. But I think that PS amdins will accept donations for server bandwidth and all...

They can only legally run a server using the source code, not all the media and stuff, but it\'s not to hard to get around all that.
