Tempting.
It's ten bucks. I figure that's below my threshold for "Enh, why not!"
Best case scenario, EQN comes out free to play, and I've got fifteen funbucks worth of shinies I can buy.
Didn't they already say it was going to be FTP? I have been following that for a while and I thought for sure I had heard that in an interview.
Since EQ2 is Free to Play, I can't imagine that EQN would not be F2P. But there's always. ALWAYS that "premium" carrot dangling out there – and a lot of games have a mid-tier "premium" status if you have ever spent money on the game, or were a former subscriber.
A $10 card to pony up to the "subscriber" tier for a month doesn't seem like a bad deal at all – particularly if it turns out that (like so many other games) that permanently vaults you up to the "You spent money with us that one time" tier…
Ah yeah, I hear ya. I was that "you spent money therefore you are semi premium" tier for LOTRO. If they have anything like that for EQN I will definitely give them a little cash. Well, even if they didn't, I would want to support them so I know I would buy SOMETHING. 😉
