It's official. Granado Espada SEA server is going to be P2P with item mall. And though the price is going to be less than other games per month, neither Francis nor Micko are going to continue playing after it becomes P2P.

But oddly enough, I found that the Granado Espada Japan server is F2P. And so I'm migrating. I speak Japanese but reading is another thing, so I might be moving around like a retard there for a while, especially if everybody uses Japanese netspeak. But it's a start for getting used to it, if I plan to live there someday.

So now the question is whether my IME will work on the client so I can actually communicate in GE Japan...

On another note, it's odd that GE Japan is F2P while the SEA server isn't... o_O

Meanwhile I'm also downloading another MMORPG that I played before, Rappelz. I remember it was fun as far as regular MMORPGs go (thought not necessarily special, it actually focused on characters playing roles in a party, rather than how a lot of MMORPGs seem to work these days, where everybody can be a soloist). I was looking for a fall-back MMORPG to play just in case GE became P2P (or it's otherwise down for some reason).
