I have some reservations about going F2P, but I'm taking a wait and see approach. I want more people to play and appreciate Rift, so I hope that this move encourages a lot of people to return or to join for the first time.
That said, the Patron bonuses feel VERY underwhelming at this stage. I know you're still developing it, but at this point, what's listed on the website (getting experience/movement/money/etc. boosts and being able to call a banker/mail anywhere) is very, very lackluster, and I feel very little incentive to continue subbing once my subscription ends. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber whose reaction to the initial Patron offerings is disappointment. I'm hoping Trion can come up with something that makes maintaining a subscription worthwhile.
