Monthly Fees?

[Suun Brakur]

Then its agreed by all then. The game should not charge a monthly fee but should offer a special member service in which you pay to have access to really awesome in game bonus content which includes stuff like unique armour, unique weapons, access to rare missions, bonus storyline, maybe a ingame house, special contests to win cool Defiance gear(real), as well as access to upcoming previews of all thing Defiance show/game. I'd buy that for a dollar or 20 a month

I would pay a yearly membership for this.

Could do it like Firefall did and have a Founders Package and then have the standard micro transactions. Nothing that would ever buy power or an edge though.

I myself believe that Defiance will operate like guild wars 2 seeing how it is being backed by a tv show. This is what SyFy wants, a cross medium entertainment. if they do have a subscription base they know that is alot of players they wont have. They want that fanbase going back and forth between the game and the show, getting envolved. Im not gonna b.s. that potential money going out the window, cuz not everyone wants to pay for a service on top of alot of other services they already have.

I know I myself for one do not want a subsription base, cuz I like many other gamers don't want to be limited to a single game do to the fact that we can't afford the purchase game and 10,000 subsriptions. Thats just my opinion,and if Defiance does go sub based ( even with as pumped as I am for both the game and show) I won't be purchasing, but I do have a feeling it will be F2P just like GW2, seeing how its backed by SyFy and they want people on both.

That would be the best way to go with Defiance is the Guild Wars 2 Way, buy the game and play for free. The in Game Store is the best ever made from any MMO maker, you don't feel forced to buy things from the store . That is why I spent money in the store no problem . There are people who play Xbox360 and PS3 don't want to pay monthly fee's for any game . That is why CoD Elite is free now

This could work. They could also just do the Buy2Play scenario and not charge a subscription so as to not double dip their players. That'd work a lot better in building trust between the devs and the community instead of separating free players from paying players like what was stated above. Having unique weapons, missions and content for people who pay only servers the split the community and doesn't show very well on the developers.

I hope there aren't monthly fees. I'm going to be getting this for Xbox; if there were fees, I'm sure many people would end up avoiding the game (I cant think of a game that has them).

Hey buddy! Good to see you outside of the other forums.

i can see this game being a micro game but i all so see their being a box price seeing as how high the production cost will be for this game, their is a good opportunity for trion to sell guns and mods in a shop i just hope they offer the same or equal items from drops in the world as well.
me personally i never use shops i prefer to pay a sub and work for my item but i do see the option for micro in the market, devs seem to be making interesting free game that work a lot better then they did in the past the stigma is dissipating on F2P

I'm hoping they do it the right way and do it like Guild Wars 2, a very good micro transaction store that does not nickel and dime you to death. Plus you can't pay to win ! A monthly fee for Defiance would kill the game because Xbox 360 and PS3 users will not pay a monthly fee to play a FPS/MMO game. You better believe that too !

PS: Why do you think CoD:Elite is free now for CoD:BO2,because console gamers don't want to pay for it. You can get it here :https://elite.callofduty.com/news/xb...Fplayer%2Fhome

actually plenty of xbox360 and ps3 users would pay a monthly fee.lots of xbox360 users play final fantasy 11 online.and that has a monthly fee.if trion does charge a fee then they need to make sure the do like SE did,and demand the game can be played even on the free silver accounts.though most likely it will use a micro transaction format that is becoming more and more common in mmos.the reason nobody didnt want to pay for cod elite is cause it was just a social stat tracking app.

Me, being an xbox user, agree with vampero on this. I don't think i could play this on the xbox with a monthly fee. Maybe for a little while, but then i'd realize that plus gold is wearing down my finances and play something else.
