if its free to play, then, you have to pay to upgrade then its a misnomer; it cant be free to play.

its like the Park is free to enter, but, you have to pay to go on the rides.

its an inducement, carrot and stick.

they have to make money - they'll not give it away - it will not be free.
the use of those words is misleading - they set you up to believe something that is not entirely true. the seed is planted and soon demands water. etc etc....:timeout:

Actually following your fairground analogy it's more like a queue at the rollercoaster where you can choose to wait in a very long slow queue or pay to be in the express lane. The devs have stated that all upgrades in the game are available through hard slog (grind) or you can pay to quickly obtain items. Unfortunately this will result in a rich/poor divide in the game but since we are all on the same side (German) it won't matter that much.

Whilst this is not the full on sim most of us want at least it is something new and quite different offering a new higher level perspective on the u-boat war.

i quite like the idea of the 'hard slog' to get the upgrades. sounds more realistic to me - more in-line with the sims we love.:up:
