Subscription based Option Please

[deepgreenbear]

Would it be possible to open to open one sever, say per region that is subscription based? Just take all of the loot in the cash shops and role them into the random loot table and get rid of the real money auction house and replace it with in game gold. I would happily pay 10-15 dollars a month to play on a server that got rid of the multiple currency elements. Thanks!

This would be a good option, unless they made more with the AH.

id like a subscription server but for different reason. f2p game get plagued by bots compared to subscription (except when they make the subscription farmeable ingame and then were back to bots xD).

Not the wildest idea, however you need to understand that the current real money market gives them tons of money. Also if you are not forced to pay for something you are more prone to pay. If the game's free, statistically you are more likely to buy cosmetics and stuff.

no argument there, f2p games make the money, whale are worth way more than subs :P.

Doesnt mean id not rather play on a subscription server tho xD. Sadly money talk, and f2p game make more money than p2p ones.

I suggested it before, somehow it gets hate from the PVP crew. (Reddit) I don't think NCSoft has any intention or the will to do this, they are known for their P2W(P) system, since it promotes so much real money to reach S Tier.

But I am on your side, I wish for it also.

Yeah, I know you can make a lot of money that we from "big spenders". but I COULD be a "regular" spender if they gave the option... just saying NC soft, you may be missing out on a good thing!

which is why I stubbornly never contribute to battlepass/cash currency systems.

Correct, I want to remove that layer of complexity that prays upon the worst parts of the human psyche and encourages impulse buying.

They made more in AH. Check your TAX rate with your server. This is not counting cosmetics, battle pass, amitoi, etc. Also not counting the lucent that they remove off the economy due to 3rd party RMT.

Early Access is sometimes 10x more than Global.
