That's my own feeling on the matter. As much as I tend to be pessimistic about changes like this (I'm haunted by images of a horde of bratty Slap-Emoters descending upon us!) I think the only rational thing to do is wait and see how things turn out. Will Virtue become a nightmare of griefers and jerks? Maybe. Will Virtue get a healthy infusion of new and returning blood? Quite possible. Point is, no matter how much back and forth speculation we engage on, no one knows sure.|

If Virtue goes to heck and the VIP server becomes the glorious Shangri-La of RP we've always dreamed of, I'll probably leave. However, I think that's the least likely scenario. So me? I'm probably staying put.
Monstrus - Defenders of Paragon
Blitzkrieg - Gods of the Golden Age
Frankenstein Monster
I will be staying on Virtue but will probably rebuild my two favorite characters on the VIP server. I kind of like the idea of starting over like that.
A'KO SMASH!!!
I play on most every server, so I will be playing on the VIP server as well. I won't play there exclusively, nor am I likely to move any characters over, but I can definitely see myself making some alts there. Although, now that I think about it I might just move some lesser played characters to make room for new alts on the regular servers.
Bringing in new players is not a bad thing now, I think I'll be able to handle the horde once we go F2P later. So until these new players actually start making my life miserable, I plan on doing what I've always done, play the game because it's fun. If it becomes unfun, I'll unsub.
And with the new F2P model coming, I can get back on and see if it is fun again at some future point.
All this DOOOOOM seems utterly misplaced and ridiculous to me, but to each their own.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
No plans to leave Virtue unless something unforeseen happens, like the people I regularly play with decide to up and move. Currently, that seems unlikely, but you never know.
Actually, the other thing that might make me consider it would be if the lag, which to me seems to be nearly perpetual now, goes from 'deeply annoying' to 'truly unbearable.' But we'll see what happens; I don't tend to get too worked up in advance over things I can't predict.
Personally, I'm more wary of elitist VIPs than the F2Ps. I may reserve a couple names on the VIP server, but I'll stick with Virtue.
I'm actually beginning a move to Virtue from Pinnacle. It's been a long time coming but I think I want to get settled in before everyone else joins in.

I'm staying, whether by design (as part of the "dirty unwashed freemium peasant scum") or by choice (as part of the "glorious VIP master race").
I am not selling my house just because a bad element may be moving into the neighborhood.
I will be staying on Virtue.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Actually, its not. This thread is not a hate thread on F2P, its just a question. Stay or Move, aimed only at those who will give F2P a chance.

So far, myself and everyone I play with on Virtue plan to stay.
Live arcs: 517377 and 517381
Virtue: Quickshot. Swiftwind. Aliuneidis. Gizmodeus. Dasher. Fiver. Inuit Acer. Daniel Darke. Cerebral Flame. El Halcon.
Intel Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz 4 GB RAM**NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT set to 1280 x 1024**Windows Vista 32 bit
I'm staying on Virtue. As a VIP, I'd be able to get priority queue access. I just hope that the devs don't go, "So, we'll do events only on the VIP server."
ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker
Some will stay and some will go. Those that go will be to free up a slot for new power sets I want to try out 
Spines/ D A lvl 50 Scrap, stone/wm lvl 50 tank, Kat/reg lvl 50 Scrap
Grav/Kin lvl 50 Cont, Fire/Enegry lvl 50 Blast
Warshade lvl 50, PB lvl 39, nightwidow lvl 50, crab lvl 42
plant/thorns lvl 50 dom, ice/fire lvl 40 dom, grav/nrg lvl 41 dom
I hardly ever run into members of the VU channel as I'm already a member of some really friendly channels.
Compared to VU channel members I'm sure the F2P people will be relatively harmless. so I think I'm pretty safe staying here on Virtue. d;D
