If Guild Wars had a monthly fee...

Would the game be better all around and would you still play? Personally I play Guild Wars due to the lack of a monthly fee.

1) There would be less idiots and pricks

2) I wouldn't play it, I hate monthly fee, I want to pick up a game whenever I want to

I wouldnt be playing.

1) Probably

2) No... I'd either play WoW or (more likely) not play any mmorpgs.

Main reason for me to play GW and not WOW ......is because there is no monthly fee. If somehow we have to pay monthly in the future , I would quit playing GW ....

I initially picked up GW as a game without the fee, to see if I like the MMO genre. Rather than moving on to a pay to play game, here I am about 2 years later.
Paying to play would have probably put a damper on that, as there were periods where I dropped the game for a month or so. While I enjoy the game, a fee would have probably changed my attitude towards it.
Would the game be better? Maybe, maybe not.
Would I still be playing?If the price were the same compared to other mmo's, I might have switched to FF online, only to return to this one on occasion.
The ability to drop and pick up this game at a whim is a great boon to many players, and frankly makes the game more enjoyable to me.

But that's just my two cents

Yea, the reason i play GW is the lack of monthly fee

its a game i can just come home and play for a bit, solo or grouped.

no fee's, diablo 2 style.

if it had fee's i wouldnt be playing it, IMO its not worth a monthly fee, especially for the fact that its instanced.

So yea, i'd probably turn to another game.

ever played wow ? there wont be less idiots.
I personally have no problem with monthly fees but i think the game is way too much grinding for fees... i wouldn't pay for couple of fow runs per evening

No and no .

i would
1. walk outside
2. find a map to home depot
3. go into home depot
4. find ladder section
5. buy it
6. find a map to anet
7. walk up to the front door
8. reach to the top of the ladder
9. pull back my hand
10. and pimp slap everyone that comes to the door till they remove the fee

The Good:
-Developers would have a constant income which means that the mission pack would be free , there would be much more content such as sorrows and domain of anguish and we 'may' get a better service due to the money available for them to increase equipment and staff.

The Bad
-Pay to play , I personnaly dont mind if the game is good , when guild wars was first released I would have happily paid monthly because it rocked ,right now the games in abit of a freeze to eye of the north but if we did play monthly we'd get constant content most likely.

If GW2 has a monthly fee it will be a sustainable better game , if not itll be the same as guild wars , great for so long but will drain the fun. But Ive played guild wars since release and ive enjoyed 95% of my time in it and would have paid monthly fees just to clean the game up abit.

...say goodbye to the ingame/forums community...

xD

^2nds the statement.

You know that 1) and 2) points go quite together. (pun)

Anyway, Montlies dont get you rid of idiots.

Any kid spoiled enough to be problem has rich enough parents that will pay him monthlies so that kid is pacified by game and not making trouble.

Any adult will only be wrose as he would have that 'i am paying monthlies' as back up for any kind of selfish s--t.

Only good thing is that anet would have minute-to-minute feedback if they mess up hard (people canceling subscriptions). No more teehless good bye threads, but putting money where your mouth is.

no,no,no.....
Would not Play any M.M.O. (Played WoW and Hated it!!!!!)

Well the game would be better because there are none of those people who think that they are better than you, no i would not consider playing guild wars anymore...

i will pay to play good pvp

The upside is there would (hopefully) be more content more often. I would play it, but likely only for a few months. That's most often what I do with monthly fee games. I just cant see paying monthly to play a game.

I might pay to play the game the way it was before it was nerfed into the ground but as it is now theres no way I would pay to play.

No, no, and hell no.

As p/o'd as people get now over nerfs and other changes, can you imagine what it'd be like if we were paying monthly fees?
