(Perhaps this may have been more suitable under the review section but whatever)
I would now imagine that most Escapists who own a 360 have heard of the new 'Free to play MMO/RPGesque' game on the XBLA if not already played it and this topic was just to see what the wider opinion was.

So yeah my questions to the escapists are as follows:
What do you think of the game both in terms of game play and its business model as being free to play?
And if you did enjoy the game on its own merits, did you the free to play model to be good or poor choice of game design?
And perhaps on a side note, would people even consider hold matchmaking sessions with other escapists?
Anyway these were just some ideas for discussion. As for my opinion I found the game to be fun addictive game play wise, but not without its flaws. As for it being free to play I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, considering you don't pour to many points into it (Anything amount like 1,200 or more would be far to much), treating the business model more as a vote on whether you enjoy the game and whether you wish to support it by purchasing some of the tickets. But that is just my viewpoint, and I am interested to hear everyone else's be it positive, negative or other.
