On one of the podcasts, it was mentioned that "The price and payment model have not been finalized yet but we can say it won't be the traditional monthly subscription model."

Thoughts on this? Does that turn anyone away from the game?

Speculation?

I would say it will be $49.99 us to purchase then it may have a cash shop or micro subscription fee. Probably around $9.99. Take a look at Crime Craft's payment modal. It may be similar.

The chances are; Pay to play, Micro, Advertisement (totally free), Pay for your hours (like aion in china).

And might event have somthing totally unique.

Well, they did say it's like not like the norm, so who knows, maybe they'll make the losing side each month cough up some dough hehe. I am kidding, of course.

I this they will make something like 50$ to buy and idk.. each year something,,,

it wont be free because it looks to good for that, and micro.. maybe, EA could do that but idk about RTW, they never made MMO's before

This is just a multiplayer game with bigger player support on servers, i don't think they should charge any fees after the initial box price. But then again greed spins the world around, so who knows.

They said that they were gonne use a other kind of paying system, not monthly fee.. you do have to buy it somehow that for sure.. but I think they will add some micro pay thingys for the good stuff ^^

How much does it cost?
Nothing, after much confusion we can confirm there will be no monthly charge to play this game.

My guess is that players will be paying for cosmetic extras here and there. From what I've heard the game seems more like a shooter than an MMO, and P2P shooters have had a pretty sore track record. Players are not used to paying for shooter games, and I don't think they will be likely to change their mind any time soon, no matter how much customization you give them. Maybe they are going to charge by the hour or something, like at an internet cafe.
