in ArcheAge
So, with about 10% effort, I cant seem to find whether its f2p or not. It sayd monthly fee n/a, but I just cant find a line that says its f2p.
If it is f2p, then will it be cash shop ahoy and p2w instead? Cant stand cash shop games, so wondered whether to ignore this game or not.

The Developers haven't made a decision so far, or perhaps the publishers are still in doubt.
Found this on google with one search

Well, guess thats me done with ArcheAge then. F2P will never work, the cash shop will creep slowly in as their business model takes shape.
Time to follow a new game! Thanks for the info
Source or Alot will be displeased.
I'd like to see source for that information. I've searched a bit around Google but haven't found anything yet that clearly stated that it was going to be F2P.
False.
The model has not been anounced yet.
They will either go with p2p or eve-like hybrid, they do not know yet, nothing has been announced on the payment system yet.

I love people that spout lies because they don't like a game.
Jake Song has never said that AA will be F2P, and neither has anyone else with any authority. Sorry friend. You're wrong.
Nobody knows yet, but I'm about 98% certain it's going to be P2P. A F2P model just can't work with the gameplay ArcheAge has.
i hope p2p i dislike f2p cash shops crap
P2P is the most likely for ArcheAge. The features of this game won't comply very good with F2P-model and a cash-shop.
If it somehow still goes the way of F2P then 50% of the people interested currently will drop the game from their list.
I wouldn't mind if it were F2P or B2P with a vanity cash shop. Prefer P2P, but if they decide to do F2P they better think it out correctly.
Yup!

No revenue model has been announced yet for any territory. If it had been announced, you would have seen it in respectable news blogs.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Why would they spend 6 years making the wow killer to then destroy the game by making in f2p? That makes no sense to me.
pro tip: any time someone says "XX has stated YY to be the case" without actually showing the link , it is a lie, fabrication, or exxageration. Its easier to provide a link than retyping something someone else wrote.
Its a common ploy in MMO forums to "claim" the devs have said something that they absolutely never said. Ignore these trolls.
IF it would be F2P it would say it. If it says that Monthly fee is N/A it means they havent decided yet.
The tens of millions of dollars spent developing this game alone says to me it will be P2P. I've read that the budget range was somewhere between 30-60 million. Why would they spend that kind of money to introduce it as F2P? Because they just like us so much? Guild Wars is the exception from the norm, and from what I'm reading about GW2, i'd rather pay for a seamless MMO world than an heavily instanced glorified CORPG anyway.
If you read that much about GW2 you would know that it won't be heavily instanced.
You're obviously reading bullsh*t and lies about Guild Wars 2 because it will be a seamless MMO unlike the previous Guild Wars which is a CORPG. Also, Firefall is going F2P straight from release, no need to buy it or anything, and google how much their budget is. So GW2 isn't really the only one going down that path.
So GW2 = Seamless. NOT a CORPG
First GW = CORPG
Don't bother... I'm sure that even after 5 years after GW2 is released people will still try to disparage the game saying exactly that.
AA is currently looking at f2p in Korea... but most games are f2p in Korea... either way Tera went with a monthly so im sure AA will follow if not... time to get a korean AA account!
"Sometimes people say stuff they don''t mean, but more often then that they don''t say things they do mean"
Link? So far all I've read is a "we're considering all options" type of comment.Just not worth my time anymore.
I hope it's not F2P, because considering the budget used for the game, a cash shop would have to be incredibly aggressive like Allods.
