    yes lets sell everyone a lifetime subscription and then down the line be unable to afford server upkeep or content development because not enough people are playing monthly fees this is a good idea

    I guess it's because everyone is on one server that limits it?

    I don't think this is a realistic concern

    I think that the word-of-mouth and front-loaded payments from the extra few hundred or thousand people who bought a lifetime subscription before september first is worth more than having them on a monthly plan and then potentially dropping it after one month

    especially when you consider that people who bought a lifetime subscription feel somewhat indebted to continue playing it given that they have free reign and thus are more likely to try to draft friends and speak highly of it, unlike people who buy one month and then feel somewhat obligated to stop playing it every new subscription period

    you can worry about making upkeep after a year

    for the first few months, your primary concern should be on building a dedicated playerbase and getting a reputation as a "solid" MMO in spite of how many bugs and/or latency issues there are necessarily going to be

    Has the monthly pricing on this been announced yet? They've mysteriously put the lifetime subscriptions back up.

    I think it's around 30€ for a month but I am uncertain.


    EDIT: 2 months I mean.

    Noone will take my money. Looks like I need to get this from some store or something once it comes out.

    Well, some vendors give an early start. I bought mine from Gamestop direct download. Didnt need to redownload since I already had the beta.
