Hey guys, there isn't going to be a monthly fee on factions is there? That would suck.

Eh, is this a oximoron? Posting an absurb post which we all the answer is not absurb at all.

Answer is - No. Now get off the hash brownies.

If Anet did that, their company and all support for them would instantly die.

Oh ok...I was justworried that they released the first version free of extra fees and then they would get us hooked and spring it on us later with factions -_-

The makers of Guild Wars have repeatedly stated:

Quote:

Will you ever charge a monthly fee for Guild Wars? Is it possible that you will someday change your policy of "no subscription fee" and have a fee in the future? How do you offer this game without a subscription fee?

There is no subscription fee for Guild Wars anywhere in the world. The game was built from the ground up with this factor in mind, and we do not intend to change the policy. In fact, we have invested a great deal of time and resources to develop a network that will allow us to promise that there will be no fees in the future. This is what we want as developers, and what we want as gamers. Our model, offering a new chapter in the Guild Wars saga every six to nine months, will sustain the game and will enable us to support the free online play. These chapters will always be optional, and you will be able to continue to play with your friends regardless of your decision to purchase the newer chapter.

In some areas of the world, paying a subscription fee may be an option for some players. For instance, this may be a choice offered to those who play at gaming centers or game cafés. But anyone, anywhere in the world, will have as one option the ability to play without a subscription fee, and of course to have access to all content in that manner.
