Archief - Warhammer Age of Reckoning (warhammer online)

Folks,

There will be no lifetime subscription available for WAR. Not a chance, prayer, hope, etc. I believe lifetime subscriptions are a not good thing for players or for the developer/publisher over the long-term. If we are doing our job, the monthly subscription price will seem quite reasonable for what you get in return. If we aren't doing our job, well, you know where that leads to. All a lifetime subscription does is bring in more money to the company in the short-term and hurt the company in the long-term by providing a financial disincentive to keep improving the product and by contrast, by providing a financial incentive to go to a new game or more expansion packs/monetization options.

In terms of the actual price, we haven't fully discussed that yet. When DAoC came out we charged just a little more than our competitors because we felt we were offering players more and that we thought that the current price point was a bit low for what we were putting into the game. I can promise you this, the price point will not be below what we are charging now for DAoC and it certainly won't be $30 USD per month.

In terms of a combined subscription plan for DAoC/UO/WAR, that's also something I've been against in the past but I'm continuing to think about it as we move forward.

The key thing to remember, as far as my attitude on this is concerned, is that if our subscription price justifies not only the development cost of WAR and continued development and support of WAR, it is a win for all of us. I want WAR's ongoing development (free stuff), customer support, expansions, etc. to be even better than what we had in DAoC and that is not an insignificant cost. It also allows us to stay away from things that I don't believe belong in WAR like ads, RMTs, etc. So, you can be assured that WAR will not be the cheapest MMORPG out there but you will always feel like you are getting a great value from the game (other than the times when you want to grab flaming torches and storm our HQ because we did something dumb).

Om het er wat in te wrijven subscription fees!



conclusie: tgaat meer kosten dan WoW, wat ik eigenlijk niet erg vind zolang ik maar meer kwaliteit krijg dan WoW.

Ik gok op een 15€/maand als je 1 maand subscribed
