... until we know if this game is going to release in the very, very, VERY near future? (read as 2013)
Personally, I am saving my cash for the reveal. If we're gonna have to wait a long time, then I'll most likely buy one of the coming games that we have release dates for. No idea which one though.

Eh, its free to play with the possibility of a sub - not like you will have to purchase the client.
So yeah, I will probably buy a new game if one happens to pique my interest in the mean time.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
Nope. I loved EQ1 from launch for a couple of years, but I despised EQ2. I know what they've said so far, but I simply don't believe it at this point. Hopefully they surprise me, but until we know a lot more, XIV has my heart.
I will watch closely though
i don't buy a lot of games anyways, that's why i play mmo's
I'm waiting for August 2nd to decide on FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. I know, it's a themepark game but I had fun in the beta. However if EQN is more fun to me or I decide I really like what I'm hearing (Or if the beta happens before ARR releases) then I wont play FFXIV. I dont like to commit to two MMOs, makes me feel guilty if I'm playing one more than the other.
Plus we'll really see if sub is a dying model. If EQN nails their game, just might be.
Oh crap...
Figured it would be buy to play. When they say, it will be free to play, does that mean it's free to play from the start, or you have to buy the game to be able to play it for free? Well, this poll was stupid then, if it's completely free to play from the start, lol.
I chose the save my money option. But it's not so much about saving my money. It's about saving TIME.
Right now there's just not a whole lot out there that's worth playing. I would be willing to pay through the nose for something that's great and holds my interest.
You out of the loop, sir?
It's going to be completely free to play. Download the game online day 1 and you're good to go. How watered down or hindered you will be if you dont sub or something, no one knows that yet. Maybe August 2nd we'll know those details for sure.
Yes, that's how I think it will be as well, but please... lol.... $14.99/month... Don't let it be the game that increases the sub fee... hehe
1. We don't know what their payment model will be but given Sony's direction with other MMOs it seems F2P or Freemium is likely.
2. It' summer...not many new games are released and those that have so far have been lackluster outside of some cheap indie titles.
3, Most of anyone who is holding off spending money on gaming here is probably doing so anticipating a Steam summer sale.
poll seems pretty moot.
Also buying the walking dead 400 days in the next day or so but thats only 4 bucks on amazon.
F2P from the start, more than likely.
I am expecting a digital collector's edition like Dragon's Prophet had with free house, cool mount, a pet, and the purchase price in SC. The best package was $90 and you got 9000 SC so it is something I will make sure I have the money for. I go as high as $120 for a CE, $150 is kinda high, anyway I am rambling, but there will probably be something to save for.
I will be playing FFXIV if EQN wont be out this year. Well see in Aug.
wut? I've played a lot of MMO's and I can only think of 2 that had a sub fee that wasn't $15.00/month
You will still have to buy the box at least that's how EQ1 and EQ2 are...you have to buy the most recent expansion to experience that content, but the rest if free to play with limitations. Since the game will be new, that should mean you have to buy that box to play it...once there are expansions you will only have to buy the expansion to get that content but the rest will be free with limitations.
I would love it if they offered premium subscriptions that actually gave you value for the sub price...that is, maybe 29.99/mo subs that give you bucko sony cash points per month plus other non-store bonuses...
with virtually no information to go on, except old info, i would think it best to hold strong opinions on ftp, btp,p2p until its revealed, but in the end remember this:
you always get what you pay for.
pay nothing? get nothing
pay something, get something.
pay premium, get premium.
over 20 years of mmorpg's and counting...

Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
