to me it just sounds like a desperate way to keep the subscribers.

i dont think half of those so called "rewards" are by thanking us for paying the subs. its a desperate plea to try and keep us from leaving.

i'm not sure ppl actually ARE staying tho. every week i see less and less instances up of the popular zones.

ppl ARE cancelling subs, and probably more then we are willing to admit.

and i'm not talking about the "i quit" whines on the forum, tho some of them is probably being honest about it.

i mean, they even give power points just for staying subbed!

now how fucking desperate is that?!

i bet they looked at what NCsoft does in CoH/CoV and figured they take it one step farther. only that NCsoft actually does it to thank ppl. not to try and milk us of money because bar 2 "skills" theres NOTHING useful to be had from the rewards NCsoft give out.

Funcom is actually making us HAVE to pay to be competitive in pvp by enabeling us to buy "powerfull feats , spells and combos" with those points.

its like giving the DAoC players a free RR every month for just staying subbed, and another RR if there in a guild etc etc....

its a fucking wank idea made by a company thats so desperate they HAVE to just to survive.

i think i have put up with enough from the game with regards to bugs and i did not let it ruin my fun, even having less damage as i have a female char. i really just see the points system as bad news and do not wish to have to be in a guild that has 100 active to gain points or have to miss out on items/content. points should be gained from skill not having active subs and who can grind the most mobs, be in the biggest guild where you know noone. i guess im not after some easymode and want a game i can earn items from skill.

would say i will come back at a later date but i doubt that will happen as i have no faith in the creators of aoc with this spur of the moment system to try and keep customers.

i would of liked to experience being able to craft the last tiers and owning a battlekeep but not going to happen without joining a random 500 person guild.

That's a wild assumption. Can you back it up? I see it more as a stimulation to keep the players subscripted than a desperate step, now if you want to tell me that trying to keep players subscripted is a desperate step per se, then you'll not convince me :P.

Aha, so you already know what kind of feats, spells and combos will be offered and how much they cost? You actually know it good enough to compare one point to a whole RR in DAoC. Either you are not very credible or your dev sources rokk...

was thinking exactly the same thing. i love how people are already ready to burn FC at the stake over this while nothing is confirmed and you have NO idea what you will get from powerpoints. it could be total useless fluff.

as i said, i am dubious about this, but (apparently unlike a lot of people in this thread) i actually have the ability to view something for what it is, rather than based upon their own prejudices, fears or previous experiences.

no i dont know anything more then you do.

but it IS a bad idea. its just a altered way of how the asians are doing it in their "free" MMO's where all the good and competitive skills have to be bought. i'm just surprised they havent adopted the 30 day lifespan of those feat/skills aswell.

i just hope to god i'm wrong, and feel free to harass me for the rest of my life if i am, but i dont think i will be.


and if they werent begging for our money they why the hell do they give out points for something as silly as staying subbed. if anything they should reward ppl for being ACTIVE, but the only thing on that list that rewards activity is by winning pvp minigames and grinding mobs. rest of it is just passives "have this or that and your gold". yes it also says SOME of the ways, but untill we know what those other ways are i'm not gonna hold my breath. obviously they thought that theese few ways were cool enough to mention so what are the other ways i wonder? kill 40000 bears?

its like they say "we dont care if you play our game and have fun as long as we can get your money!"..

yes i know they are a company that needs to make money but this is still a bad way of doing it.

call me an overzealous whiner all you want but looking at what funcom has managed to do with AoC so far this announcement sure as hell isnt making me all warm and fuzzy inside.

[dee777]

Overzealous whiner.

If you dont like the game, cancel your sub and stop venting.

All I read was funcom screaming: PLEASE DON'T CANCEL!!
