How's that going to work on consoles?
I spent £35 under the assumption that it was for at least %50 of the final product (when nothing will be added anymore to the game)
Yeah if this game ever went pay to play I'd want my money back.
Easy, can't log into the game or access your character unless you pay your undue balance on trion website. All character data is saved on their servers.Quote:

Where are these rumors coming from? If anything, I would not put it beyond them to come up with a 'premium' service that costs a monthly fee which is something seen in most over seas F2P games. Trion is obviously in major debt so they will be looking for ways to gouge more money out of the few players left.
Defiance Premium: increase of loots, exp, and preferred login rights!
Defiance no premium: no loot, a dribble of exp, and have to wait in a que (that they made up).
That is not true.Quote:

I would be completely done if this game went P2P
I suspect she meant to say that it isn't true at the current time. I would certainly agree that this version of Defiance can't thrive on a P2P model. The game COULD change of course and then, the business model might be adjusted.Quote:

I brought this game New + a season pass that is a lot of money that I don't and can't usually spend on gaming, it was a one off.
i don't mind paying for a season pass for season 2 providing we got some fun content but a monthly fee would price me out of the game and quite frankly the game doesn't offer enough content to warrant a subscription fee.
That`s the spirit ;) The day they start charging to play, well...i have other games. I`ll just stop playing this as much as i like it.Quote:

Not sure if that is the whole answer.
I mean pay per month is clearly out, no one is going to pay that since this game aint worth it.
But a prem service akin to F2P games where non payers get no drops/miniscule exp and payers get normal drop rates/exp? Already like that with boosts so why not go that extra mile to gouge further?
I can totally see this happening at some point.
What drops !? If i have to pay to keep not getting good loot, then for sure i`ll not pay...lolQuote:

Sell whites/greens to vendor for script or break em for salvage = buy keycodes to purchase lockboxes.Quote:

MAY lead to good loot. 99% of the time this is false. ;)Quote:

How about I go through all your posts and state the things you didn't read before commenting which are many. You dislike me and so you constantly need to try and prove your superiority.Quote:

Obviously people are just going to speculate and run rampant with rumors and not actually READ a thread. The community manager has already said, on page 2 of this very thread, that the P2P model is NOT TRUE.Quote:

I wasn't speculating on some rumor. The OP was. The responsibility is in the hands of someone stating rumor as some sort of fact.Quote:

Obviously people need to stop speculating on every old rumor that is out there and consider it may well just be nonsensical rumor. The OP should have amended this thread to say the rumor was false. And those who apply cynicism and hatred to disagreement over a video game should seek help.
Oh and by the way, the Community Manager stated that at the bottom of page 1 and not on page 2. Just for clarity's sake.
And people above my post were still responding to the OP as if it was true.
The threads topic is 'Is this game going P2P' more or less. Dahanese had posted on the first or second page (I can't be bothered checking, but it was one of the two). The rumour has been proven to be entirely false. Why kick up a fuss over something that doesn't matter? The OP was asking if the rumour was true or not.Quote:

F2P, yeah probably. P2P, not even on if it solved world peace..
and yeah, thread should have been locked when official response was posted.
