For sure, the restriction for the cheaper one would have to fit the game. In Final Fantasy, the “entry” subscription limits how many characters you can create on a Data Center. There’s maybe a way it could be done but ashes way. XIV is a game that had a big success. I know there are harmonized prices in some regions. I also admit that could be problematic. They could just not have the “entry” mode on harmonized regions. Finally, I believe it would make the game more accessible with the economy going bad everywhere. The restrictions must make the difference between the “normal” fee and “entry” one. I don’t think it would be bad for Intrepid to have 2 fees modes. They’re always the post launch cosmetic sell. Also, it could mean more players that can’t afford the full fee trying the game. As for included game time from different Kickstarter and Shop package, it’s already using the 14,99 fees per each included month. It’s not a problem on that side. What do you think? Should Intrepid goes that way?

If someone is going to sub to the game then they're going to sub to the game. Having that $13 option isn't going to make anyone that wasn't already going to sub just decide "I wasn't really interested in this game but since they have two sub options so I might as well go ahead and get the more expensive one" lol especially in a game where you can play and max every single class, including crafting and gathering, on a single character like FFXIV.

Before I got my first job to play, I used to hoard 14 day trial cards to play wow, some great memories. (could probably be done digitally now, lol.)

Except they could get rid of the $13 sub and not lose a single penny from people that were already going to sub to the game. $15 is the established price for an MMO sub and there isn't a single person that would just decide not to sub to the game if the $13 sub wasn't a thing. It doesn't actually do what you're thinking it does. Having different pricing tiers isn't a ploy to get people to skip the lower tiers, the vast majority of people that are interested would pay for one of the more expensive tiers if the cheaper tiers weren't a thing.

Having tiers on subs has nothing to do with "makes the buyer thing he is getting a much better deal".
