    That's awesome to hear! Thanks a lot for bringing it to Yoshida-san's attention. I really appreciate it Rukkirii.

    Glad to see that they may be considering it for the future. Hopefully they'll look into this over hybrid business models (F2P plus optional sub), that are the most usual alternative but tends to really dilute content for paying players

    So much for "SE will never consider this!".

    Remember people. Good game developers consider *every* option. This doesn't mean they will implement them all, but open mindedness is what distinguishes a good developer from a great one.

    The previous leadership wasn't made of bad developers per se, but they did seem very much close minded, unable to look at the rest of the market. What I always liked about Yoshida is that he has a very attentive eye on the rest on the market (being a MMORPG player himself), and is open minded about taking from it what can help is own ideas.
