Thank you BayBlast for setting the tone of the topic. I can't believe I got carried away with it too.

To clear things up: I never wanted to go on a grand offensive. I simply intended to ponder the posibilities. Now that you have given more information (information that I lacked) I can see the error. I underestimated the cost of a permanent account.

I still have my doubts about the game, wether it's worth the money, but the game itself is good. I wouldn't mind if there was an offline version released.

Can we forget about this topic and all calm down?

Combination. Allow for Monthly Fees, a One Time payment and Continuous Fee Add-ons. That should make enough money, and it would draw more customers.

For your info: S4 league is a more dynamic battle game with a very complex game engine, and is continuously updated. Everything is accesible through normal play, except for the newly released AP+ items, which provide nearly nothing extra.

May I remind the ones who think that the continuous payment is required for the devteam that it's possible without? There are billions, billions of games that do not have continuous fees and that work perfectly well. Such as S4 league, MapleStory, the aforementioned games Age of Conan, GuildWars, Dungeons & Dragons online and Lord of the Rings Online. How can they get by? The same way NCSoft could get by with City of Heroes/Villains.

Sharker Quint: Reword it please. Your comment makes no sense.

I was posting while you were rian, and I thank you for the first constructive post here. I would like to know more about the year-fee if possible. It might be worth it to do that. I'll probably be done with it by the end of the year.

At heart, all of you agree with me. A one time fee would be far better. You may be ridiculing it, there's nothing wrong with the idea. The continuous fee is more ridiculous than the idea to replace it with a one-time fee.

At least you get what you buy. In CoH you don't get anything.

Oh, and look: GuildWars doesn't have a monthly fee either!

And that one's published by NCSoft as well!

AdventureQuest.

Need it be necessary that others do it? no. Think about what you want, not what others do. I bet this continuous fee is something that scares off a lot of potential buyers.

And that is the fact that you can't buy it. This game is great, dynamic battles, good graphics, vast area, billions of options, but it lacks the opportunity to buy it permanently. I would've bought it if I could, but I'm not going to spend a monthly fee on it. No matter how great the trial may be.

Couldn't you have sold permanent accounts for thrice the money, or something like that?
