Subscription done differently.

Hello guys.
Since there is no category called "suggestions" Im gonna try it here. I have a suggestion about the monthly subscription. In my opinion monthly subscription is very unfair to casual players and players that are occupied with work, family life etc. You simply rent the game for 1 month for 15 dollars during a fixed period of time. (for example 14th april to 14-may). Im suggesting that this game, as revolutionary is it claims to be, could come up with a new subscription system. My idea is that for for example 15-20 dollars you buy 200 gameplay hours which you need to use during a 5 month period. As i roughly calculated "casual" mmo player plays around 3-4-5 hours a day. So that makes 90-120-150 hours a month (if you consider he plays daily). But classical monthly subscription does not consider that sometimes a man cant play during a month at all. We have all been there. You buy subscription, you are happy as a bee, then suddenly something comes up and you get just few hours of gameplay from your 15 dollars :(. Or you get bored with the game because monthly subscription forces you to make use of every single hour and people stop playing for several months, making the world less populated. And in my opinion this subscription im suggesting would bring even more players to the game so the company would make even more profit thus more content, more fun and then again even more players and profit.

I hope I explained what I meant, you have to excuse my english, it is a second language after all.

  • Great idea! As a casual player i want system like that too)
  • there's just one issue with that. a hardcore person will play like easily 10 hours a day, and they have got systems specifically to handle it. Also, the company will need a steady income to ensure they can maintain and continue developing the game.
    and honestly, I'd hate it if my game was interrupted by a pay-screen. that is a surefire way to ruin immersion.
  • But majority of players are not hardcore players man. And the system im suggesting is fair even to hardcore players. If you are a hardcore player and you are going to buy regurarly you could get a discount. FOr example 200 hours for 15 dollars but if you buy 400 hours you pay only 28 dollars + you have to spent that time during mentioned 5 month period. Something similar. There are many ways to deal with this + to be fair. My friend is not a hardcore player but he himself said. "Im not going to pay for a time im not going to use, but if I can get an option where I buy gameplay hours instead of period of time im fine with buying it for 50+ dollars." So yeah, its fair in every wait my friend.
