Your from the UK, so probably not. Unless you want to get ahead of the wave of kiddies that will be downloading the game. However alot of new players means easier groups for repeatables. At the same time, this also means there will be alot of people killing the mobs your going after. Not to mention if you want to kill all the elite's/bosses in beginning map you will prob have some competition come F2P. If I were you I would just DL the trial and play that while you wait. "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." |

Yes. It's worth it. Edit: Actually I don't know how their f2p vs premium service is set up.
So....... I guess my answer would be: Possibly. |

Originally posted by slickbizzle It is still wiser to start playing the game as F2P and later add a subscription if you enjoy it. Buying a box right now is most likely just a waste of money, you rarely get any bonuses for owning the bos when a game goes F2P. Paying a subscription fee in a F2P game might on the other hand be well worth it, but it is usually best to wait a few weeks before doing that. |

Originally posted by slickbizzle While there are certain benefits to being premium and a subscription paying member, he can easily sign up for Premium when the game gets released if he enjoys it. The only thing i am thinking is if your rewards for being a paying member for a month would sway your decision. I don't believe the 1 month rewards are allt hat great though. However you would be closer to the two month/three month rewards if you picked it up now. Purely your decision, you can check rewards here http://na.aiononline.com/services/veteran-rewards P.S. This is from the NA site, and i don't know if they are changing the reward program come F2P. "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything.

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |
