Thread: 4.2 changes & monthly fee

First of all, I want to thank all your opinions and ideas. Just to reply some of them:

That is adding new content. Not exactly this thread’s topic, although related. The addition of new content, in terms of gameplay, is something applied to the whole player-base. In 4.2 they are changing, not only the content, but also the way that one specific kind of subscription works.

The measure itself doesn’t give a chance to anyone. It removes, indeed. Read it carefully.

What if I have already paid for a 6 month period on a Normal Subscription?

Are you really sure of that? In the Live Letter we could read ‘Player will be permitted to own only one private and free company estate per world per service account’ It says OWN, not buy or purchase or get.

Yup I know… but this kind of previews make me feel unconfident to SE and how they make and unmake new changes.



I must insist. This is not a change related to gameplay or new content. It is the Normal Subscription what is getting a change now.

Previous to 4.2 we have 8 characters per world.
From 4.2 we will have 1 character and 7 other things we should rename.

Unofficial live letter translations picked up on Yoshi-P mentioning about the current houses being left alone/grandfathered. Unfortunately, the official live letter update thread does not mention this.

Asking SE for a refund..if granted..tends to result in a perma-ban of the account in question.

At least that's the "rumor"

The subscription to standard gives you 8 characters per server nothing is changing about that nor are they changing the content available to you. You can buy a home, you simply have to choose which of your characters you would like it on.
