Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

[Tinydog]

this time is as good as any to charge for the game. SE lost a butt load of money due to their mistakes. now its time to try and make some profit from the players they have now. seems the jp's will help keep the boat afloat until PS3 release.

Can I have you're gils?

MMOs are rarely finished.
This MMO is 'under repair' and going to experience a 'cataclysm' in order to bring about vast change.
WoW players willingly beta test on their PTR and pay for it!
Players who stay will experience the one-time story behind the change.
Im looking forward for sub to start.
Wash out all the riff-raff. ^^

Why are you paying them?

What a fantastic question, I'm so glad you asked!

I'm paying them because I've been playing the game for over a year - for free. I've seen the effects of each and every update, and I love the direction it's going. Furthermore, I believe that the current state of the game is better than most MMOs ever get, subscription or not. And lastly, it's an experience I'm willing to pay for, simple as that.

That's fine if you don't agree, and it's fine if you want to call me a fanboy for it. No one is saying that the game is perfect, and everyone who is going to stay through the subscription fee can give feedback on what killing Star Marmots is like just as well as you can. That's what you're not getting about what I'm saying when I bring up your lack of play - it's not that I think you can't form an opinion, I just think that opinion will be presented better by someone with more experience with the game, or won't be worth a damn.

I know I am tripple posting so bare with me.

The main reason I am posting this, is for the rare chance that I might change some of your minds into paying for this, and in the end SE doesn't get as much money per month.

I'll be paying for this just to spite you, the thought of you this enraged and insulted over a game amuses me.

@December OP: If the character you are posting on with now, is your main character ingame, then you have no respect of anything you say here about this issue. Game is worth 12.99 at current state its in, heck maybe even better if P2P comes along with patch 1.20.

If you cant afford that little cash pr month, then you have a more serious problem in real life then you have in game

[Punainen]

the subscription fee will get rid of the trolls. At least the trolls without bank. That can only be a good thing. And we're DEFINITELY heading upward. SE needs money to keep going. They can't make the game free forever.

one of the biggest problems with the game even if we shot all the way to the game in march lol 2013 when all is said to be done, though it all has been pushed backweeks/months patch to patch and so will the rest i'm sure. but even if they fix everything, biggest problem to me right now is server population, an i doubt they will add merges or close down servers? save some money doing that instead of charging us maybe for now, but i don't think i can pay for a game where 90% of my time will be waiting for enough people to do things with. even though there is almost nothing to do still, what we got like 4-5 dungeons/battles on way? and that is almost half a year or more total time lol. they starting to charge cause they know some people don't care about money and will hand it over to them. it ain't ready to charge though.

if se needs bank, they need to take it out the salaries of multimillion dollar toolbags, instead of taking it from us and by firing hard working low level people. (assumption, but most likely) i'm not poor, i just not dumb. most mmo's that came out went free to play after awhile and this game does not at all have more stuff to do then those games. the population will half and dwindle in my opinion. but i guess we see in like a lol month, and i guess we'll see in lmfao, march 2013 if game is where they say it should be or if they took your money and ran with it.

"the subscription fee will get rid of the trolls." Will get rid of a lot more then just trolls, might wanna take the mmo off and just put rpg.

[BlackPaneth]

A gripe every MMO has had, people feeling they do not have a right to be charged for a game they think is incomplete (No mmo ever is out of the box). Granted there a a rather large amount of flaws in the game at the moment, some of which after a year you would have though had been looked at, but there it is. Your choice to pay or not. Good luck on your next game! Me? I dont think paying just for one character is too much since really thats all you need.
