Since the previous thread wil be/was closed, continue your discussion here.

Vote http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1440825-b2p-subscriiption-f2p/.
Another http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1440529-monthly-fee/.

Personally I'm not in favour of F2P or B2P. Well I am :wink: but I found the inevitable addition of a cash shop so the people that buy some extra can get privileges and things in-game (after all, why else would they pay) that others can't always very counter-immersive. This can range from buying gold (EVE, GW2) to just cosmetics (mounts, minipets).
Why would you want people to grind for a month and allow players to buy it for cash? It takes away any sense of accomplishment or prestige.

Furthermore I'd say that if a company's income comes directly from the number of subscribers, it would push developers into making more and better content and keep the game enjoyable. Instead of inventing all kinds of stuff to redirect people to the cash shop.

You what would you choose?

lol you remade it even before the old one was locked? You're either extremely quick or very prepared :tongue:

Oh and in case anyone has missed it (yeah right) I'm all for P2P for ESO!

Small side note...can you actually continue posting on a poll of a locked topic? Because I'm not 100% sure on that myself.

Oops! Well I guess we'll find out soon enough :wink:

Do you think the mods are already awake?

lol no kidding, it will be an interesting experiment :tongue:

And I know Freddo is ON, but I have no idea if he's active, and Rough is probably busy since it's daytime there over in Spain although I did message him awhile ago and no idea about the rest, those are the only two I know.

Edit: Blue believes they do so you may want to add another poll and record the results from the last poll here or something, I don't know.
