You know, just like old times: Insert coin to play.

Every time you log on: One quarter.
Every time you want to enter a RA game: There it goes
Every time you have to use a resurrection shrine: Inert coin.And fast or the time runs out.

I think i would have spend tons.

Why do i make this tread? Because some people don't seem to realize how much gameplay they got for their money.

For a game with 15 bucks a month, it equals spending sixty coins in the arcade. And with sixty coins, you play about one day.

If it did, then no bank in the world would advance me the credit to play how much I have. hehe.

Steboy93 · Oct 06, 2007, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Heh, that would teach RA leavers.

MudBone · Oct 06, 2007, 09:09 PM // 21:09

Psssssssst, hey bud

can ya spare a quarter

That would be interesting... to say the least. You would prolly just do it based on deaths (like any other game) NO RES SHRINES EVER. Hmmm... I just hope A-net doesn't get any funny ideas from this thread.

well I'm currently paying off lots and lots of bills, so if I would be able to count up the number of quarters I would have spent, I'd have all my stuff repo'd :P

lol, then there would be one title which would really be worth it... Legendary Survivor = AKA the players with money left over

I think you just illustrated why I was never a coin-op fan, but if you think playing the same game for 2-3 years is unusual - sorry, but for me it's typical.

Buying sequals, OTOH, I almost never do until the sales and I'm usually disappointed (that means you Half-Life 2).

That said, for every game that consumes me, there's 3 or 4 that barely nibbled my attention. So even if I haven't paid Anet for daily satisfaction, I've more than reimbursed the industry.

Hmmm.... Deposit.....

Pay 25k to enter PvP zone. Get 25k when match is over. No refund if you leave early....

Might make a better /report system. Like they say - a fool and his money are soon parted.

HawkofStorms · Oct 06, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

God... I would have spent over $2000 so far.

I MP I · Oct 06, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

I can safely say that i wouldn't waste quarters like that.

Just because we've gotten alot of gameplay for our money doesn't need it to be compared to P2P games. F2P is the Guild Wars business model and it needs no analysis.

And just because we've got a high-profile F2P game as opposed to the lesser known South Korean and Malaysian ones, doesn't mean we should be 'loyal' or be 'grateful' for anything; Anet could have easily charged monthly, but they chose not to. From the interviews I've read, Anet has done marvellously financially.

But as for coins; yeah thats alot of shrapnel to have ready.
