Square will never let it go free-to-play because the level of patch content they produce for "free" is always top notch. But WoW is a victim of its times. An MMO that looks bad (for 2015) and the play is redundant and simplified to the point of banality, it was doomed as it progressed. Hopefully, the dickwads will stay there and not come over to FFXIV and start shit.</p>
