    The bundles currently offered do however offer a good chunk of play time, plus nunerous other goodies that may tickle your fancy.


    yeah the bundles are good, but would be nice to get a lifetime sub for 500 bucks :smiley:
    Naturally, but there would be a massive uproar if they made that exclusive available again. I'm glad I got in early enough! 
    I think it would also break Kickstarter TOS as it was supposed to be exclusive if they were to go back on that.

    I hold a lifetime sub, but would be ok if they offered a long term sub option that's heavily discounted. Like 1yr sub for $8 a month or something.
    I wouldn't have any complaints, solid compromise.

    Most MMOs offer a pretty nice discount if you buy a year at a time. Lowest I've seen though is $9.99 a month (for a full year) compared to the normal $14.99 a month. Anyone seen lower than that?

    Daybreak does $100 per year now, or $8.33 per month : ). Tera had some sales at either $5.00 or $7.50 a month I think.

    aion was also around 9,99 dollars when it was pay to play :smile:
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    500$ give you 1 year sub. so its 15$ a month. 

    you can pay 500$ and get few years . more than enough imo

    15$ is pretty much
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    $15 has been an industry standard for 15 or more years.

    Sadly, I was unemployed when this was on kickstarter but I very much wanted to buy the lifetime sub pack.. My fingers were itching and hovering over the Check-Out button but that would have meant no money for rent and that would not have been a good idea LOL.. ;) And now that I have my finances in order and a full time job since august last year, the lifetime pack is not availible.. :( Unfortunately that was the only pack I was interrested in pre-purchasing, so I will settle for getting the cheapest option of the game once it's released and then perhaps upgrade from there..
    I've played MMORPGs since EQ1 beta, on to EQ2 and the past 3+ years it's been Elder Scrolls Online, and AoC is what I plan on moving on to after ESO.

    Now it's all about waiting for the game to get finished and released.. :)

    @Preed did you buy the lowest Kickstarter package?  If you did, you can upgrade now to Braver of Worlds.

    There was never a life time sub . it was 500$ that gives you 1 year sub once the game goes live.

    how much that cost ?? I am sure it was way over 500$ to even be consider life time . le

    Nope...people paid $400 to $500 for BoW depending on if they got one of the early bird packages. Came with a whole mess of cosmetics and other goodies, testing access to all non-NDA phases, and lifetime sub. People like to whinge and moan that others are paying $500 for testing access, but tend to forget all the other stuff that came in the packages. If you put the lifetime sub on its own without all the other stuff, then you need a little over 3 years for it to pay for itself. But then again, that is not the only thing in the KS packages.

    This is why you do your research before you buy

    This is straight from the Kickstarter page on ashes https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1791529601/ashes-of-creation-new-mmorpg-by-intrepid-studios as you can see it states the prices and what you get.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Yeah, the whole point of investing $400 now is to hopefully avoid paying out 1.8K in subs later.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Can confirm, paid $425 for the Lifetime sub Kickstarter pack.

    And where did you get the 180x10?

    @Karthos $15 a month x 12 months = 180 annually, 10 years being his example amount of play time gets you 180 x 10=  1800. Simple math my dear Sir.

    52x5=260


    There was no context. Now tell me what I just mathed about smart ass.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    so I believe the answer to your riddle is 52= weeks, 5= years, so you basically have 260/4= 65 payments in 5 years 13 payments a year. Boom Math solved.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    That would work if it was charged weekly, but it won't be. Either way, those of us with it won't have to pay for sub again. It was a leap of faith for development from vapor to final product, and then sustainability after.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    12x$15=$180 per year, so after 3 years ($540) you are golden.

    It was arbitrary.

    There was. No meaning.

    Confirmed multiple times. Was marked exclusive. They are not going to open the PR shitstorm that would occur by making exclusives available again. Plus, there is no incentive for them to do so. The promotion achieved its goal during KS.
