TF2 wasn't f2p from start and it doesn't have 104 classes so I doubt it'll be like it is.It'll more than likely use a system like LoL if it's f2p from start.

Then again they seem to be earning shit tons with TF2 cosmetical items so they could go TF2 style I guess..

Oh no! Now they have to make an In - game shop for purchasing all those unreleased heroes and make a gazillion dollars off of it. Poor Valve. Sad


Here is what we know:

All 104 heroes will be available, when ready, for free <- fact
The shop will likely be for cosmetic items only <- speculation

From GAF:

Quote:
No new characters. It is not a reskin at all, though. The framework for the game is hugely improved.

- Allows reconnecting
- You can spectate any game in progress
- An unlimited number of people can spectate every game
- There can be up to 2 casters for every game that the spectaters will hear
- Full matchmaking
- Improved shop interface
- Consolidated hotkeys
- Dedicated servers

I'm sure I could go on and on, but not all features have been revealed yet (such as coaching).


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

Yeah man,its not like ebay locks the account with a phone verification request after they dettect another paypal account being added to it.Lol

That account if it was accesed by another user,with different cookies,browser etc,would go down before he even listed something.

Because those people are pathetic, just because he didnt came up with the idea or he didnt had money to buy one, he rats the other one out.

I base this on the fact that in his reddit post he says: "by reward I just mean I would really like a beta key if possible:)"

So he rats him out in his own interest, both acted on own interest, none is better then the other person Smile

I read his brother is a famous Dota (I think..) player which was probably the reason Icefrog trusted him with 50 keys while he ignored our emails..

Ye, i also got a key from the runnerups there.
To begin with there were 12keys for 6ppl (2each) but Icefrog is a nice guy.
Think they totally gave out 70keys or something =D
