Poll: Monthly Fee or None

Sry still need to find a way to post a poll.

Sure, there are people that don't care if they have to pay it or not, but I doubt anyone would ever want one, remembering that anyone - with or without brains - can pay 10$ a month. >.>

Laugh out loud!

Like I would pay a monthly fee for this game. The only reason I would pay is if they turned it into an MMORPG. Currently, GW is a singleplayer game with multiplayer as the only mode of play. Not worth paying a monthly fee.

There are better games out there to pay a monthly fee for. There are even some better RPG games that are free.

Speaks for me too.

The reason I found this game is because there is no monthly fee. This is 100% true. I would never have found or tried this game if there was no monthly fee. I bought WoW and was unable to play because of the monthly fee. My physical location and the manner of paying monthly fees + server issues + manner of game purchase/download + international limitations on credit card use = no online fees possible for Slug. If the expansion required a monthly fee, I would not be buying it. This isn't because I'm a childish baby who would protest the fees, this is because it would not be possible for me to pay the fees, so buying it would be stupid.

If I could pay monthly fees I would likely have spent half the time on GW that I did (if I had even discovered it) because I would also be spending a great deal of time in WoW.

i would definitely not play if there's a monthly fee attached, i'd just switch over to WoW (which i'm hesitent to do)

it would really stink if they smacked a montly fee on this no matter if the gameplay changed or not, anything over $0/month is too much for me, i see no need to pay for a game when there are millions i can play for free... like GW..

however if they did, id just go back to Diablo 2

i reckon paying monthly to fight 3d objects with other 3d objects is kind of freakish, so i'd just stop playin and sell my account.

And paying a one time fee to fight 3d objects with other 3d objects isn't?

Right.

I wouldn't pay a fee.

well i dont think paying for a game is weird, its just if i pay id end up like my friends... id never leave my room because i want to get the most bang for my buck everyday.. when i dont pay i have a lifetime to enjoy it.. or untill the servers go down

The only reason I bought Guild Wars was because of the lack of a fee. It's not that I can't afford it, I just don't want to pay a monthly fee for any game.

Agreed.

There are plenty of better games with monthly fee, and the only reason I am playing GW or any other online games is that it doesn't have monthly fee.

I would never ever play anything with a monthly fee. Not GW, not WoW, not anything. I'd always have the feeling that I'm wasting money when I'm doing something else than playing the game.

for the cost? for WoW 100 bucks (50 pounds) would get me a half a year... I would spend that many times over just for snackage... It's chump change... for me it's a matter of having the method to make the payments

Never ANY game in a million years. I pay the box fee and refuse to pay -anyone- for the "privilege" of playing on their servers.

i really liked this game when i heard it was coming out but i thought it was going to be a monthly pay but when i heard it wasnt i was excited but yeah i would pay monthly but i dont no if my mum an dad would let me

I wouldn't pay for any game online either, not only that, but then anet would really have to listen to the people playing and have to change things in the game to make them happy, or at least i would think so, cause well...their paying for it.

That can be an extreamly hard thing to do for as many people that play this game, personally ...how long has this game been in development 2-3 years? I understand the need to put it out there on the market and get it going to reimburse all their hard work, but honestly where did you get your beta testers..why was the game released in the condition it was after such a long time, i have yet to see a game with so many updates this early from release then again, this is the first type of game of its kind i have played.

There's a lot of inconstanticy that i see from skills (esp leet) not working properly, to areas having the same or close to the same monster types, collector's items in high areas that noone will bother to collect cause their crap, high end areas with low to mid items, and even then some good items like the crimson shield in Lion's Arch, asking for 4 leather belts, the only place to get leather belts is from doing Galrath's quest( which btw he doesn't even have the the skill by the same name lol), and then your extreamly lucky to get 1 belt.( i have done galraths over 2 dozen times and have yet to see 1 leather belt.)

You have dwarf's( and stupidly darven ale, umm promoting drinking or altered states of mind in a game with a eula that wont allow someone to have a name with the word Seky in it?and yet i can see panties and bra's!!! lol) yet no elves, orcs, halflings etc that im so used to in the books i read, you can only play a human.

Don't get me wrong i like the game, i play even with the nerfing, i've knoticed a considerable differance in drops from my older characters, where they didnt get anything good , yet now my newest character a W/Me seems to be picking up gold items left and right, granted not max damage, most not even sellable, but def improvement in my drops and also i seem to be getting a lot more gold on missions with or without henchies, this does make me happy as where elier i was getting about 100-150gp if i was lucky, i now get 300-500gp depending on mission and length im out and about killing stuff.

Pvp rewards...1000-2000 faction to unlock something, that's a lot of time playing pvp, esp if you don't win all that much. Why wasn't something like that implemented for Pve? Do i really need 50k+xp for beating my doppleganger? naw i'd much rather recieve a cool customized weapon something that would be special, this is part of the inconstancy i see with this game, umm the gods favor? well mr. and mrs. gods why not gimme something i can use? seeing as you favor me so much and i went thru all this trouble of restoring some legendary ghosts to the rightful positions, even Perseus was given a cool helmet sword and shield, and a dam flying horse!! lol

Also, do ya think theres enough devourers in this game? g'dam their like roaches surviving the nuke droped on the planet, there everywhere!

and how the hell do i trust someone asking for 100k+ for an item, ie i see people bidding 200k, 400k, i play everydayand have 4 characters i have yet to go over 160k and that's putting almost 1000 hours into the game, the person to person prices are insane, and spoils it for everyone who doesn't have as much , then again it's an imatation of like, the rich get everything they want and the poor struggle to get something not even close to what they want but having to settle for something less.

Also WOULD YOU PEOPLE JUST NAME A G'DAM PRICE, i mean what is so scary about asking for a set price on something, instead of trying to get the absoulty the most, wasting hours waiting for someone to offer another 10-20k on top of the already high end price your currently posting, which also to me if yer not posting a name of the person with the c/o, your full of it, should be "asking xxx$$" rather then trying to play it off like your really getting an offer of 50k for that 29+hp sword upgrade. Im so sick of the phrase OFFER? esp cause they say no noob offers? just because i offer something nowhere near what you want that makes me a noob?..ok take your 15% o/50% sword and shove it.( yet don't even want to give me at least a price range, thinking be cause i offered only 30k , that i don't really have 500k+??? or that i wasn't serious?? call me when you can't sell that item, and give me a discount now for insulting me. )

ok so let me stop ranting, just don't take it the wrong way, i like this game, it has good beginning's, i see a lot of nerfing( tho i understand with ppl taking advantage of exploits and all the botting that was going on) tho their are some improvements that i am happily enjoying, i look forward to this summers new areas and next years expansion which i will most likely buy, but i will not and never shall pay to play, there's too many games out there that are 1 time pay, and play the rest of your life even if their servers arn't up anymore.

Be consistent, even if your never on time.

no way i'll pay to play any game. I pay £30-£40 for the disc, I'm not paying extra. Besides, if i pay monthly, i then feel i HAVE to play the game, or the character goes bye bye. Yeah, that's not gonna turn the game into a chore.

Besides, even right now being free, the game has barely held my interest for more than a month so I dont think it would really survive monthly fees. I think anyone who's gonna pay to play and isn't rich with tons of time on their hands would choose UO, WoW or EQ2 over it to be honest. *shrugs* just my opinion
