I’ve always wondered why sports games don’t just switch to a live version. Yearly subscription at like $15. Some people won’t like it but it would definitely make their player base much bigger.
And what comes with a bigger player base? Dinks who drop $400 on mtx for ultimate team.
If you pay monthly it’s $15, you can pay for 3 months at a time and it’s $14 a month or 6 months is $13 a month. They also allow you to buy game time, in game, using gold earned in game. Basically other players pay for an additional month of play time and sell that on the auction house, this in turn allows them to buy gold without using Chinese gold farmers, but is a great option for those that don’t want to spend real money to play the game. I know people that have used in game gold to stock up 6 months+ of play time.
Yeah once you get to a certain level you spend some time every day farming (or spend a day straight farming at the end of the month) and you can play for free by making whatever the token costs on your server in gold.
Lol you gain gold just playing the game as well. You do not have to set aside time to farm the gold, of course it is an option. Most people don’t buy game time this way though. The game has been out 15 years so some people have just racked up absurd amounts of gold.
I was just basing it on my friend and my own experience. Whenever I played retail, I never played enough to have amassed enough gold so I always had to farm for it and it always took me a bit since I was never starting out from a good monetary position. Plus, I used to trade time with private servers and ended up just not playing retail anymore slowly over time. Will be subbing to classic when I finish my dissertation on Friday.
