Is it going to be P2P? is it officially announced yet? well Ankama you still have 3-4 month to reconsider this game to be F2P, seriously this game is good it has a good concept, nice story&background, but it won't be good as P2P game especially periodic basis..
I know that developing a good game is expensive and oc you want to make profits, but if you make this game into P2P, i bet more than half of the player existing now will quit this game.. i guess you should try another ways of getting profit instead making this game P2P..
few things that sustain MMORPG are the players, community and updates, if you guys pushing this game to be P2P, lots of people will quit, and since this is sandbox type the gameplay is going to be boring as hell without sufficient resources (because not enough player to supply and buying things)
maybe you'll have some "willing to pay" player for a few months, but it won't last long.. just imagine you have to collect all resources you need - create your own weapon - hunting by yourself - making some items, try to sell it but no one buying it..
Ankama Team (Wakfu) has done a lots of efforts to create this game, don't ruin it for P2P..
Umm adding some other thing :
- Tactical MMORPG is niche, it's not most people choice game to play.. only a few, including me

from millions gamers out there who likes this genre..
the point is even this is going to be F2P i guessed it'll only have "less than enough" (my point of view) player to make a good community, and if it's going to be P2P, it's dead with "more" less people playing it..
- Sandbox type game usually takes a lot of time to learn and takes time to create a good character, if you're gonna put this game into P2P, i bet some people will quit this game before they can actually enjoying this game and run into another MMORPG game..
- MMORPG competition is tough, lots of good quality games will be released in 2012, and some are F2P, i doubt Wakfu able to survive in P2P competition with lots of bug, less content, poor balance, etc (sorry i only tell you guys the truth)
