Game time, play time and subscription

Postby Setting » Sat Aug 29, 2015 2:48 pm

Well... I cant understand how the new p2p system works...

Game time is the same as play time? I mean, If I buy game time token for 15$ i will have 720 hours of play time? Only waste if im online?

I know that subscription is 1 month, for example since 29/08 to 29/09....but what about game time?

Game time works (as the description says) basically the same as subscription (so like 29/8 - 29/9) but the difference is that it's not automatically applied to your account, instead you get an item in-game that you can trade or just use yourself.

It does say under the "Game Time" heading that "In other words, it works the same way as a subscription once used."

Can I just say that that's a terrible scheme?

There were a lot of people that were willing to buy it if it was 720 hours for $15. It makes sense, you're paying for time.

But if you're only paying for a transferable subscription...

Why would you do that? O.o

Are you trying to sanction transferring out of game currency to in-game?

Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.
