Will there be a monthly fee for the standalone? If there is, will you still play?

I havent seen any posts on this. They said they were going to follow the minecraft model... but I doubt its going to be exact.

No, there will be no monthly fee.

The minecraft model means that the earlier you buy it the less it will cost. As the game gets closer to gold status the price will increase. There will not be a monthly fee.

I'm pretty sure there will be no monthly fee.

And no, I would NOT pay a monthly fee to play ANY game.

This isn't a mmo, its like BF3 and etc they don't charge for that. This game doesn't let you keep stuff and have death items and etc so you can keep your good shit like most of the other mmo's, so why would they charge for that, does't fall under the same thing. Thhey won't charge a monthly fee, and this game will most likely go mine craft unless Bio agreed to support them.

That is wonderful. I will never pay a monthly fee to play a single game.

Depending on the monthly fee it's possible, but as many have already said, their will be no sub.

Not a fucking chance.

Id pay. I don't think it would be the best model for this game though. They do need to make money off this. My thoughts are to give DLC content to make the extra cash.

No there won't be.

And yes I would.(get a job SSS kids)

Yea I was going to say, expansions would keep the money flowing. WIth regular [free] updates in between. That would work.

I would pay a monthly fee if i had to, but, I'm not sure how they'd justify it, even if they did go to a lot of effort.

As has been said, its the wrong model and the wrong type of gamer to try to market the benefits/justification of it to.Edit: DLC/expansions is a good idea.

Voted no. It's server size is very short of hitting MMO territories. Especially since people are more than likely to be renting and maintaining their own dedicated servers (although I do pray that official servers and community servers keep seperate HIVEs).

As for battleye... It's a laughing stock. More of a reason NOT to buy. If VAC anti-cheat or Punkbuster pulled the crap that battleye dishes out, it would be unforgivable by their standards. And in spite of "12,000" global bans, hacking does not seem to be dying down.

They need to build their anti-cheat system alongside the game. Not just shove some half-hearted client on top at the last moment. It's especially embarassing that they waited 3 years before thinking "woops, we've been figured out, now we'll have to make an actual anti-cheat system".
