Appendix:

Every Item in the Game World should only be attainable by playing the Game. PERIOD
Thats what a subscription model can offer us
It separates the real world from the game and allows it to have its own LIFE
You can be a total dweeb RL but a GOD IN THIS GAME

But for this to be possible everyone has to be on the same playing field in there
No cash shop garbage or perks
Just play the game and that's who u gona be

Faction, Race, Class, and Name Changes via payment is all good tho, make sure that's in there

Oh god, just let it end, at the very least post this in one of the thousand other threads about subscriptions.

I don't have a major problem with subscription fees, nor cash shops, but only if the subscription fee is low ($7 is reasonable), you don't have to buy the game to start, and you don't have to buy the expansions- they should all be included in the subscription fee. Cash shop-wise, as long as it offers no advantage over other players, I'm fine with them.

I've said it once, I'll say it again - $15 a month, plus $60 to start, plus $50-$60 per expansion and the possibility of cash shops is totally unnecessary to sustain and make a profit...

Please for the love of Raptor Jesus go Google "inflation". Then Google Ultima Online and see what it's sub fee was.

I'm just closing these all for review until we figure something because obviously our strategy of attempting to let this community create their own topics and discuss things in a civilized manner just isn't panning out.
