Yeah apparently they're going to charge a certain amount to allow you to play for 180 days. It's unverified yet as to how much it'll cost. It's too bad, because I don't want to spend on a game I only play casually, but I should've figured. Then again, all this time I thought this game was an item mall game. Apparently, it's BOTH. You have to pay to play for three months, and you have the option to buy in-game items with real money.
Honestly, I love the game, and it's one of the most interesting games I've played in a long time, but I'm not sure it merits wanting to spend on it. Then again, maybe it's just because I haven't made enough friends in it or something. We played in Philippine Ragnarok Online before while paying for it, and we didn't really get bothered by paying, because we had friends in the game. But right now, I'm not feeling compelled to continue playing Granado Espada, even if the game is beautiful and lots of fun.
Speaking of which, random screenshot mode. :D

The news of it becoming P2P has made me curious why there isn't enough F2P/Item Mall game that's this good anywhere. The only things that come close are SilkRoad Online and Space Cowboy Online. And even those games have their extreme downsides (read: GRINDING IS SLOW AND BORING). Times like this, I somehow wish Ragnarok Online didn't become corrupted by bots and terrible community and economy, and that we'd never quit. :D Then I'd still be hanging around my friends in my guild, playing around dungeons and having a blast.
I'm still looking for that aspect in games now. Oh how I wish I'd run into a game like that, or at least Granado Espada would become like that for me. Maybe then I'd consider saving/earning to be able to pay for it.
