They already have a F2P model with the free trial. Allowing that or a limited access model for those who give up their subscription would be a nice option. Even a low-scale sub.

The game already had tons of micro-transactions (some mounts cost more than 2 months of a subscription). There's also a ton of nonsense currencies.

Best part of the game is the community and the world.

The free trial isn't a business model. It's a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.
