I will never pay for this game if they use Click and Buy or the Play Online charge system.

Every other functioning worthwhile MMO game (even one from 1998 - NexusTK: Kingdom of the Winds) uses their own credit card transactions.

The fact that SE cannot do this is absurd. Furthermore, with all the security leaks and hacking recently I want my information as close to the source as possible, instead of a third party company that might get hacked for a completely different reason and my information simply becomes collateral damage.

With that being said, I doubt this game can ever return to pay to play and garner a significant amount of subscribers. I expect microtransactions and or content packages that you have to pay.
