Why doesn't JM just make P2P servers?

In addition to the free servers why don't they make preferred game servers with higher capacity and active GMs. I'm sure many people would pay $15-20 a month for it.

How about Exp?
YOu would need to pay for the tickets too, unless they would make silk tradimg option there.

They would make less money. Not everybody who buys silk buys premium. Making the servers P2P would lose that crowd and lose that chunk of money.

But I understand why they should, they basically gimp anybody who doesn't pay anyway.

does premium get you in faster still, or does auto login negate that?

if silkroad were a fps, you would get a knife, but when u buy premium plus, devil spirit, and a pet; you would get a gun.

If it was $20 to access that 'p2p' server then sure(Not monthly. Yearly acceptable. Til you quit even better) Why? How many gold bots do you expect to be in it? That'd be the only reason, but the way Silkroad is now. HA Not happening from me.

Well, seeing as Guild Wars is a one time payment of around $49, then you have an expansion and 2 other campaigns, it works out to around $200 for the entire trilogy. There is still bots on there though. When there is money to be made, bots will be there.

P2P by famous company such as Blizzard, Konami,... would work but for a fail company or never did a great game such as JM is like useless. No one would play.

Tsro use to be p2p but it became free to gain more players. Seems to me that free games+ item mall = more money for them

wow is good pvp cause u can just dodge attacks..so it takes alot of skills in ur keyboard movements on map to kill the person, its not just ur sosun thats going to kill ur opponet..it takes startegy.. and maybe thats why alot of players like pvp servers and the game itself and actully pay for it.
