I picked up GW2 with some friends of mine and we all agree that GW2 isn't all that. My question is do you think half the people would be playing today if GW2 had the $14.99 a month fee? i think not, just my option.

A good game is a good game regardless of monthly fee or no monthly fee. So even if GW2 had a monthly fee people would still play . Millions pay sub for WOW so money is not the issue although some people blow 'monthly sub' out of proportions on these forums. Is gameplay fun? that is all that matters. (GW2 being good is completely subjective though, as not everyone think its worth their money). |

Don't get me wrong, GW2 is ok but I don't think the 2nd best. I just believe that if everyone was paying the $14.99 a month that the pop would start to decline a lot after the first month. Which leads me to believe that maybe they have something here, buy the game, no monthly fee, keep your subs high waiting for the $60.00 update to come out..lol

I think people would be going nuts right now. If you think it's getting ugly now, imagine if there was a sub.

No, i wouldn't.
I for the most part love the game, but I'd refuse to pay a monthly fee. |

Personally, I'd pay a million dollars a month to play it(not really), but I would pay to play. Saying pop would decline after the first month is only stating the obvious repeating trend of every MMO. Every MMO no matter how great or amazing has a MASSIVE population for the first month until people realize "Oh, I have to shell out $14.99 a month ot keep playing..."

Originally posted by Agoden where they say that? Iv'e read future content patches would be free but full expansion would be paid for I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

Originally posted by Agoden ok that's a very bad idea because it could end up being a "pay to win" game, that would really suck. |

Originally posted by david361107 Simple answer is no. Of course they'll lose 50% of the player base , which is good because those 50% are destroying the aspect of what GW2 is suppose to be. The remaining 50% will be the remaining fans / hardcore fans of GW2 that will help bring out the best out of GW2. Having said that , if GW2 would of been P2P I would of most likely bought it on launch day. But I know for a fact that the community is to poo on at it's current state, (Poo is less vulgar , but you get the idea) so I'm not wasting my time on it. |

I wouldn't pay a monthly sub for GW2. Here is a list of all the games that I think are worth a monthly sub:
/end list All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

Originally posted by SuprGamerX yes i understand every game's pop will decrease after the first month. My point really is that because GW2 is buy to play that the pop will stay high longer. but really i feel that GW2 would be blasted a lot more if it was P2P, hell i see people running around either naked or half their bodies showing. I can hear it now "i pay $15 a month and can't even wear clothes? or see other players, this game sucks" lol, you all know how they are here at mmorpg.. smiles

I wouldn't pay a subscription not because I don't want to pay for GW2, but because I don't want to pay any subscription.
That business plan is in the past. I already have enough expenses without dishing out an additional 15 euros for a game. Also, I dislike the pressure that goes with the subscription, the feeling that I'm throwing away money if I'm not playing for a few days. |

Originally posted by Hell_Hammer agree, with a sub you feel your not getting your monies worth if you don't play all the time. |

Originally posted by david361107 There is no guarantee really that because of lack of monthly fee GW2 populaiton will stay high longer. If players get bored they simply stop logging in. If i am utterly bored of the game does it really matter if i am playing a monthly sub or not? 15 bucks is like a pocket change for people with stable jobs. |
