Interesting though prefer racing games on console where I can see it on a screen bigger than teeny monitor.

I was interested in the game until the fake laughter during the fake gameplay at the desks. 
 
The fact that it is free-to-play (with microtransactions, but whatever) is still appealing, though.  BattleForge was a great game on the F2P plan that EA uses.

Dude, it's like Mario Kart but badass! 
 
However, Free-to-Play with microtransactions... seriously? We're not freakin' Korea; give us a game we only pay for once.

This was in development during Blur so I'm unsure how much influence it had on them. Regardless, the power ups are far less prevalent, flash, and dangerous in Need for Speed World. Hell, only Traffic Magnet is the odd ball and that one is no red shell.

But they are what we were discussing in the first place so let's assume they are to avoid further embarrassments like your post.

Buh, looks crappy. Since they can't rubberband human players, I guess they need some powerups. Not that they're very comparable, but I'm personally saving up for GT5 + Racing Wheel.

Please keep yourself educated on a topic before you insult someone else. The microtransactions in Guild Wars are completely unnecessary to your fulfillment of the game. It is most certainly a pay-once MMO.
 
By your logic, that means every game that has DLC isn't a pay-once game.

Actually i agree with people saying it's a pay once. Cause it was initially. It was a couple of years before they started with the microtrannies, and then it was only for stuff like skills and whatnot that you could unlock with ease yourself. And for a lot of people, unlocking the skills were pretty much where the game was at. Certainly my favorite part of the game. 
 
Most other mmo's with microtrannies are  basically demanding that you buy them or never reach anywhere near the powerlevels of the guys who do pay. This is the case for all korean mmo's.
 
Yeah, it has microtrannies, but they were basically added because people whined about it taking time to get the skills needed for pvp. You can  compare it to the WoW forums being flooded by retards saying leveling to 80 takes too long, couple of months later blizzard launches a "pay4levelcap" service.
 
 GW really is pay once and play. Unless you're a fucking retard and don't really want to play, just want the skills and character slots.
 
You get NO content with microtrannies that you can't get with ease by playing.
