Astellia Adds Subscription Plan To Give Players Another Way To Play The MMO - MMORPG.com
Astellia is fast approaching with early access hitting servers on September 20th, but Barunson E&A has announced a new way for players to experience the classical MMO.

sub fee is fine but it has to be the exact same pay model for everyone.I personally no longer even believe in sub fees,sell the game,maybe it is worth 50 bucks maybe it is not.If your game is good players will stick around to buy an expansion.
300k players buying a 30-35 expansion is 9-11 million dollars.Unless this team is huge and carries a lot of overhead that is plenty of money.
Even better is if your game is good>>>>word of mouth spreads fast,you should be able to get 500k+ easily with a great product.
What pay models tell me over the many years i have seen them is that ,the devs themselves know their product is not good enough,hence why we see so many varied models.
Make a great game and all your problems go away,well unless you need more server space ,that's a good problem to have.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Pfft
Bwahahahahahahaha!
Hopefully they offer this value with the game until I know for sure im not buying into this
Well don't play the game then because I am pretty sure they will have it all. As long as they don't go pay to win I think they will do ok. They need money for server upkeep and paying themselves.... Games can't just live off of base purchase esp mmo's and afford upkeep and keeping a whole team.
If you had doubts that it wasn't a scam/cashgrab before, now you can be certain of it
Anyone who supports Archeage unchained has no business calling out any other game. Yea...you.

So in other words, if i try the game out and decide to like it, the game will cost me 10 bucks more.
It would only be fair when you try the game with the sub plan, you will get a discount on the full game price.
This just looks like a money grab to me and I will wait for the next "big" MMORPG.

It looks like Astellia is a game that allows you to level up at the price of box/subscription, but at the end-game you're expected to keep make additional purchases if you want to keep up with others.
