Why pay full price for this game? I mean really.

[Lady Freckles]

It really comes down to whether you think the price is worth it and that goes for any game, including those with the F2P option.

If you think your money is well spent on something you enjoy, play frequently, and are happy with, then great. If you are not happy with the price, the game, or any other part of it, it's time to decide whether to stay or go.

Personally, I loved Pirates for the time I played, which was quite a while and I felt the cost was worth it ... at that time. I have since moved on to other things for entertainment, when I have the time or inclination, and if you were to ask me today if I'd resubscribe to POTCO, the answer would be a very decisive NO.

I really don't see Disney going with an F2P version of Pirates or their other games. Although Toontown does offer an unlimited free trial basis of the game, with restrictions on how much you can do of course. And even a game that has F2P options, is still not totally 'free' - you either earn credits ingame or have to buy credits for certain things.
