Four reasons why Warhammer should go F2P
Do you know how many players would play Warhammer because it is free to play? Would your friends, and old guildmates come back to play? Would it be the best marketing strategy for Warhammer right now?
I think it would be a huge marketing hit, and here are my four reasons why Warhammer should go F2P.
1. Increasing your player base
It would be the easiest way to increase players. Mythic has lost any retail shelf space, and needs a new way to be able to attract new players.
2. Bringing back old players
This would make it an easy decision for old Warhammer players to come back to the game. Currently most players who quit Warhammer are probably unhappy in their current game, and are just waiting for the chance to come back but unwilling to subscribe.
3. Sell expansion packs every 6 months
It gives Mythic the ability to sell more expansion packs for adding content to keep players happy with always new lands to explore, and keep the game fresh while adding to their profits.
4. Micro transaction cash shops
Mythic could boost their profits by selling all sorts of things from talismans, potions, novelty pets and mounts, server transfers, xp boost, rr boost, name changes, etc. This would enable them to make more profits without very much expense.
