Traditional Subscription (Monthly Fee's Etc..)
Micro-Transaction (Item Mall, including XP and weapon boosts)
Subscription with the option of Micro-Transaction (For cosmetic only Items. NO gameplay advantages.)

Which one?  The last one is an option rumour that started at AionSource.com where NCsoft would have a standard subscription, with the option to purchase (with real money)  additional character customization (cosmetic) options.

an example of micro transaction would be item X requires 1000 pts to buy it. While 1000pts cost 5$. The game would have no subscription fee but in order to acquire certain items (usually cosmetic) you have to pay extra. Which in some cases can greatly exceed the standard monthly fee.

Had to vote traditional. I do like the option of "seperating" yourself look wise from other people but I'd rather have stuff like that being unlockable of the sort by either gaining titles/weird objects, etc. I'd rather just pay $10-15 a month and have something to do gameplay wise to improve my character other than buying it.

Yeah, Traditional is basically that those options (of the last choice) would be available to subscribers (without having to pay extra)

Omg, I would throw a tantrum if Aion was Item-mall only(Thank god it isn't). Paying cash for items isn't any different from buying in-game currency.

" Payment method of Aion had been decided.
Based on monthly fee and on some realms NC will sell some items to players.
but these items just change your toons looking.

Sorry Valentina. I know this is just a simple poll but...

If Aion was Item-mall only, the in-game experience would be totally different then if was a monthly flat-fee one.

Item-mall is a greedy company's way of saying: "Why let all the gold farmers make all the money when we could do it legally?"

Some people spend up to $600 a month just in item-malls. I think that's unfair to the people that isn't crazy enough to spend that much.
