Its only freakin $10 a month. Literally just dont buy that shitty take-away food and you can buy a sub for a month.

And cosmetics on a permadeath game that cost real life money is borderline retarded.

Just add in-game cosmetic items you can make out of ingame materials.

The cosmetics that are currently in the game are already account bound so that's not a valid point to argue

I'm against the idea that cosmetics could possibly sustain H&H, the playercount is just too low.

We need cosmetic slots with an option to hide/display any cosmetic gear should you not want to look at it and only see players in their normal equipment.

Something tells me this would not be welcome by the devs.

But what about something like Runescape's setup - a "free" server, that's undernourished and under-updated, and crowded as fuck, and a "members" server that gets all the updates on time, is huge, and gets lots of perks?

Of course they're outselling them when you limit the time and force (active) people to purchase the sub lol....Not to mention none of those cosmetics can be used OVER the gear you already have in that slot, so yeah. And that's disregarding the fact that my suggestion is far more than just cosmetic items.

plz just add cosmetic slots I don't think it could be that difficult to just add a second tab to the equipment menu and just copy the old one completely to create a second set of slots for cosmetics.

(also what I said about an option to hide the cosmetics)

Of course subscriptions outsell cosmetics. They are REQUIRED to play the game.... Derp
