foxylove Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm thinking that with the launching of a f2p model perhaps you can offer a lifetime subscriptionof f2p which gives you special items or possible in game perks. Perhaps a special mount, pet, and extra cartel coin bonus beyond the current cartel coin retroactive payments all subscribers are entitled to. Maybe even a 120% mount? I'd be willing to pay upwards of $200-$300 for a lifetime subscription for SWTOR depending on the extra goodies. What do you guys think? What do you think is a fair price for a lifetime subscription? What types of amenities/ in game items/perks would you like associated with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheris Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was willing to buy a lifetime sub to a mmo once and would be willing to do so again, especially for this game, if it was possible. 200-250$ seems like a fair price, even without extras they might have thrown our way. Personally I have little interest in pets/mounts but I am sure more creative people could come out with something cool as a reward Overally a good idea, hope it happens in the near future!

MajikMyst Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Ok.. Time for some math.. 15x12=180.. So that is $180 dollars a year for a single subscription.. If it goes as long as SWG or even WOW.. That is at least 8 years.. Which comes to $1440 for an 8 year membership.. Life time?? Bioware and EA are taking a risk because they can't change you more subscription money.. So don't look for anything under at least $1200 dollars for a life time membership.. Could be more than that.. Depends on how long Bioware and or EA have determined the life of the game to be.. So.. I doubt it will be around $200 dollars or so.. You would be lucky to pay less than $1k.. Any less than that and they would most likely be losing money.. Just saying.. Edited August 21, 2012 by MajikMyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheris Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 That really depends. Lord of the RIngs Online had a lifetime sub option before they launched f2p (not sure if it is still possible now, dropped the game a few months back) and I hopped at the possibility right away. It's not like many players do so, in fact I belive only a handful of people go for such an option but those that do still need to pay up for the bigger expansions, some buy additional in-game currency (Cartel Coins here) so the developers still get cash AND have a steady player base. Everybody wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt pay more than $250 unless the benefits were really great. But I'm sure Bioware could use the extra cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
