Then I would've just earned a free weeks worth of PS. And what I'd do, is run around screaming "I GOT A FREE WEEK OF PLANETSIDE!" at my office. I'd then be pelted with office supplies, most likely binders.

My subscription would never have run out...

It would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen. Unless you are part of those sponsor'd clans.

PS's development fund isnt exactly...EQ2.

But yeah. This would be a good incentive for leaderboards or general high achievers.

One word: Mass MAX rushes. Do you really want it so that 50 MAXes wander around, kill people in a mass zerg, and achieve an astronomical K/D ratio, thus letting them have free PS?

How about earning free play time for ANT runs, armor repair that isn't your own, and reviving fallen teammates?

Screw the kills, I pay to get kills. There is little reward right now for doing the former actions.

PS is a team oriented game - that idea would only promote the soloist attitude. Nothing wrong with that really, but soloing doesn't win continents in my opinion.

a max crash means very few kills.


ive been in quite a few.


NO ONE gets more than 6 each crash.

Would be too easy, almost any good twitch player can get 50/1 on the occassional lagless session. I could agree with free days, not months for this, but the financial calculations wouldn't be worth it. (and think about sitting around waiting for a couple good OS's and laying mines everywhere)

It's a bad idea. a)It'd be unfair and b)I severely doubt SOE could afford it.

If anything you're getting value for money.

Question:Why does sony give a flying frag whether or not you get high kills or not. Your paying to play, they like to keep it that way, this prize whould not cause people to play more, in fact whould decrease revenue for them. Do you really think they give a care whos on the leaderboard?
