Will there be other subscriptions payment currency other than dollar?

Haven't found any answers for this question on the forum, there is a post just like mine in 2018 but with no answer.

The subscription value of the game is 15$ per month, and that is way to much money when converted to my currency, Brazilian currency, it is R$90. Brazil has a strong gaming community, so i was wondering if it will have a similar subscription plan with local currency without the dollar conversion, like WoW does

I don't think it should. The game doesn't have a box price, nor it will charge for expansions. This means the only money they make comes from Cash Shop sales and subs.
If 10k people pay 5 USD/month, that's 100.000 USD lost by Intrepid. The cost to maintain the game is still the same because their servers and developers are based on the US/outsourcing companies that bill in US currency.
I'm talking about 10k people, that's an entire server that they would be running at a loss.

There has been no discussion of localization of payment methods.

Unforutently, if they do offer the lower subscription cost, you'd almost have to be account locked to a specific server otherwise people would just VPN to get the lower sub price.

It also has to make economical sense for Intrepid to do a server for that price.

Question. If you have such a large gaming community, doesn't that mean that there are enough people who can afford to game? And how much is a good internet connection?

I have 950mb down

And how much would that cost a month?

For me it costs about $70 a month but its going to vary greatly by location and carrier. If you want a real price you are going to need to look at ISP pricing in your city

I was trying to compare. For Canada, Gigabit is $120. Ashes is $15. Not a problem at all. Drop my plan a bit, and it pays for Ashes.
If you are getting Gigabit for $70, you are getting a wonderful deal! Especially if Ashes is $90. That means compared to me, you are getting Gigabit internet for about $12. That is a tenth the price of up here.
