Wolfninjajedi Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 As said in title, anything on how many cartel coins subscribers are going to get per month? Or has it yet to be said? Think a reasonable would be 250 per month, or 150. Sure its a little low, but its not as if you can't save up the coins and it isn't as if the things will go away on the market. Maybe a special once or twice every few months or so, increase it to 500 coins....I dunno just trying to make a positive spin on things for subs, stayed subbed we won't have to purchase coins with real money since they are going to be paid for by our sub anyway.

HammersteinSW Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 We have no idea what we can get for a few hundred coins. They will probably put stupid stuff into their cash shop like a Revan mask for 1000 coin or the Darth Nihilus mask for even more, who knows.

Primalooze Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 In everquest2 when they went f2p the free coins they gave only allowed a token purchase...normally 1 or 2 items a month. BW wont be giving out alot of them to be sure... and the items on the Market WILL be the best looking stuff in game you can guarantee that.

Rewarded monthly. But at what scale ? Will this be enough to buy a couple of useful things or nice cosmetic gimmicks or will it barely be enough to buy the cheapest item in your future shop ?

When will the first moment we can upgrade our stats (endurance, willpower, ...) with cartel points? I know its just a matter of "right timing" but can you give me at least a heads up?

Kahotep Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Throwing numbers of coins around is pointless without knowing how much the stuff you can buy actually costs. If they follow the model of other games with cash shops, then they give you just enough to be able to claim that subscribers can have everything for the cost of their subscription. However the reality is that it may take months to save up your free coins to get that really nice piece of armour they just released. You can bet that all the best looking armour will be cash shop only and you can bet that it will take a very long time to save up the coins for it. In the end, many players will cave in a fork out some cash for that lovely new armour set. I mean, it's only a few dollars right? In reality, the average free player will play the game for while then move on without spending a single cent on it. Most of the money spent in the cash shop will be by the kind of people willing to spend money on their hobby and planning to play the game for some time to come ie the subscribers. Yup, freemium games with cash shops are all about trying to squeeze every cent possible out of its loyal subscribers without them noticing how much they are now playing for a game that used to only cost them $15 a month.

GymQuirk Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 For purposes of calculating "subscribed months", do the initial 30 days that come with the game purchase and/or the Bonus 30 days from March count? (I assume the one Bonus Day from Feb doesn't matter.) I am an "Active since Launch" player. Between the initial 30 days with the box, my 6-month sub, and the bonus month, my subscription is good through 16 August. So as of 31 July, will it be worth 900 (6x150 paid for) or 1050 (7x150; maximum possible of monthly payments since Launch) points? And how will the overlap into August affect the "200/month until f2p launch" calculations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol look who just woke up after hundreds of years of hibernation. Do us former subscribers who've been paying since EGA get anything else besides the slap in the face and the finger?
