    I agree. If this game was F2P I would love it. It sucks that you have to buy a subscription and pay for the expansions.

    I miss the world but hate the fact that I have to pay for my time. If I have to work long or other stuff comes up that month it feels like a waste.

    Plus the subscription is too expensive for what it offers. For $13 you can get a lot of great games on sale and a big selection of indie titles, feels like a better investment.

      You know that the whole base game + the first expansion is completely free until you buy the first thing?

        The issue is that you lose access to that free trial if you sub even for a month.

      Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it’d be a worse game.

      Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn’t an option they’re going to be interested in.

        They already have a F2P model with the free trial. Allowing that or a limited access model for those who give up their subscription would be a nice option. Even a low-scale sub.

        The game already had tons of micro-transactions (some mounts cost more than 2 months of a subscription). There’s also a ton of nonsense currencies.

        Best part of the game is the community and the world.

          The free trial isn’t a business model. It’s a demo.

          You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

      That’s what got me. I was paying $20 a month and after a year or so and then they ask for $60 to play the new content. What did you do with my $240 in subscription fees? Is that not to pay for new content?
