It'll likely be B2P w/ cash shop and DLC packs. You're not gonna get console players to pay monthly subs.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure you are right. If this was a subscription game, Trion would have released that information already. When you make a subscription game you have to build it around that concept, it is not something you can do last minute.
I think its too bad. From my experience, non-subscription games do not have large content updates and they always seem to die off after 6-12 months. Also, having optional DLCs also means that new content is going to be very secondary in nature and not integral to the game, which is a shame.
I think Defiance will be like Guild Wars 2: Lots of people playing it in the first few months and then moving on because there is little new engame progression content. I am definately going to playing it. I was just hoping for a more long-term subscription game with lots of frequent new content to keep us busy.
I am also looking for a game that I can play for a while. I hope they have enough content at launch to really make the game last. Nothing worst than a game high on promises but low on content so the game launch looks more like a beta.
Lol I did the very first one you can while leveling and havent been back. I only do wvw at this point and praying for VB to choose me. I don't think a lot of things are going to be instances in this game. It really seems like they want you to pvp while you do anything but we will see what they decide. Just need to not make the "classic" MMO mistake of not having endgame at launch.
