Pay to Play Subscription - Cast your votes!

494 mindless zombie SE fans voted yes...

I see you've played though take two jobs to level 50, 2 more into the forties and several more over level 30.

That's an awful lot of playtime for a game you claim not to like.

If those 213 (so far) people who voted no, don't think the game is in any fit state at the moment then why are you still playing?

I believe the vote was to pay to play or not and atm it's still free. Really not that hard of a concept to grasp, is it?

I voted no. I do like this game - or at least, I do like the direction the game is heading. I do not at all feel it is anywhere near ready to begin charging a subscription price. I am currently playing despite the unfinished state of the game because it is free and I see a lot of promise in the finished product.

However, because I have a very limited budget (and yes - to me even $15 a month has to be spent wisely) and also limited playtime, I need to make sure that if I am paying for something, that I really feel like I am getting the most out of that money. I do see myself paying for a subscription again in the future, but unless something major changes in the next month, I don't really see enough to plunk down my money just yet for this game. I still might, but I am definitely leaning towards no for now.

It isn't just people who hate the game who voted no, and it isn't just people who have no intention of ever paying. Some of us are just going to make a decision to wait until the game is ready and spend our money on something else in the meantime.

Who says we do? I only log in once a month to check out the changes and log off again. If they manage to keep what they promised this time, they'll have me back - eventually.

I might pay on and off inbetween but only if it's not the full price, the game is not worth it's full price to me and I don't want to invest into SE and risk getting screwed over like they did it with FFXIV. I hope the initial failure of FFXIV was a hard enough slap in their face to make things right this time and listen to the community when it says the game is not ready for release yet, like we did in alpha/beta.
