Template:Subscription model

Game time is currently purchasable in Pre-order packs.

This allows us to avoid the pay to win mentality many free-to-play games employ, as well as maintain a steady flow of new content for all our players.

Ashes of Creation (the MMORPG) is a subscription based game.

• The monthly subscription fee is USD $14.99.
  • Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. These regions will be segregated from other regions.

• Lifetime subscriptions were granted to crowdfunding backers at the Braver of worlds level or higher.
  • Users may change servers within their chosen publisher without losing their lifetime subscription.

I think a sub cost provides both the barrier of entry to prevent, some not all, but mitigate some gold selling bots and whatnot because there's a cost associated with playing the game, but it's also not too high that it gets on the greedy side or prevents a lot of players from participating and trying the game; and then if the game is good then people will continue to subscribe and that subscription provides funding and revenue for the developers to continue a significant content creation and expansion rollout for the game. – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse is free-to-play.

• These are stand-alone modes that will be open to everyone, not just backers.

There is no P2W in Apocalypse or the MMORPG!
