    If the NA version is similar to the Korean Beta's, then I would pay that much for AA. However, more people would play if their wins were not limited to their subscription. Money should never determines anything in-game.

    90 days/44.00$ hints at a possible discount for more time spent. I hope this changes for NA/EU release.

  • Notice that this is based on INGAME TIME!

    Which means it's not a normal p2p subscription model.

    30 days for 19 dollars, is basically 720 hours of ingame time for 19 dollars.

    Now if you only play 1-3 hours a day, you are saving up to 87.5% of the overall time compared to 15 dollars a month subscription models!

    Because the latter model is 30 days, meaning it has a expiry date where the account loses access.

    A time based subscription model is EXTREMELY CHEAP! It is so cheap that most game developers DO NOT USE IT because it is too low a profit to make money!

    Imagine people buying 19 dollars worth of 720 hours, and only playing 1-3 hours a day out of 356 days in a year.
    Yeah, you can either play the game 24/7 and have it expire in a month, but no one does that, heck not even more than 6 hours straight per day.

  • The thing is, Runescape's membership USED to be time based using a points system... But then they changed it for some reason to 7~9 dollars a month?

    I think players can end up playing too 'efficiently' and save time, hence never need to buy another monthly subscription again, and Jagex wanted to make more money more constantly so they switched to a normal p2p model.

    Good thing i'm British because that 19800won goes ALL the way down to a little over £12 for a month, and only £18 on top of that for 3 months. so you save £6 if you go 3 months. P.S. I will assume they will release a 6month and 12month subscription fee as well as soon as it comes to NA/EU market. p.s.s. only £10 a month for 3 months, and if they do the 6months to 12months subs it could go down to £6.50 a month. (think about how much you're saving on the long run.) ;)
