Let's not forget that going pay to play was what killed InRO, back when it had basically no competition. This is not a wise move. Even if players CAN afford it, which the overwhelming majority can, most won't pay for it. It won't prevent bots. It won't help the server keep members. Why do it at all?
Not to forget mRO also died and sold it to asiasoft and asiasoft sold it to WP. LOL
