Cash Shop: Item #1: Beta Access

[raykor]

Let's face it, a lot of people here plan to reactivate their PS account just for the chance that it gets you into the beta (as per Smed's comments) so why not just call it what it is and sell access. I'd pay.

[Hamma]

Well everyone else seems to do that now

[Bruttal]

Id pay

[SKYeXile]

Ill pay...I always endup paying...

[NewSith]

I wouldn't pay. I WOULD MAKE THEM PAY! *Imperial March*

But seriously, I would. Hell, why not....

[Death2All]

I wouldn't......Okay, just kidding I would totally pay.


But I don't really want to...I'd like for the people who've been subscribed for awhile now and remained loyal to be rewarded for it.

[Marth Koopa]

I'll always have the SOE All Access Pass because EverQuest and PlanetSide

[Slepnair]

i'd pay for beta access, i'd keep my PS1 account active, but i cant really justify it since i don't play as much anymore(if at all right now).

Virrago said he would pass along a Welcome back Soldier promotion. Support this thread! ---> Free to play, fodderside 2.0? Something?

Something tells me he won't be replying in that thread again

In a way I guess it can be seen as sort of cheap, but if players want it, it creates revenue, why not? And let's face it. Majority of big games so far have done it ("pre order this super deluxe pack now that costs 3 times more to get beta access as a freebie!").

Hell, just do it that way. Sell us collectors editions with some fancy crap with it and a beta access, no one will complain

I would love to be subbed to Planetside, but even if I love the game I know I would only occasionally pop in, but being a poor student atm I really can't afford having a 15€ sub running for just to play a few times a months, so I'm even sorta taking the risk of screwing up my chances for beta by not being subbed. I would pay 15€ for a beta access in a heartbeat, but 15€ a month for an undefined time that may not even guarantee me the beta access? Can't afford

[Raka Maru]

Throw in a cool TR cap and shirt and I'm in for that beta purchase collectors edition!

[Slepnair]

honestly i dont find it cheap selling a a collectors edition with beta access, they can tie it in with their F2P model by saying you get "elite soldier status" or some shit that gives a bonus. Hi Rez has the elite soldier style stuff with Global Agenda, and are doing it with Tribes. It's a source or revenue for the company, which helps them and makes us happy.

and with a game of this scale, they'll need mass amounts of players to test it.

[Graywolves]

I want it for free....





I'd pay

[Bruttal]

I know its wrong but id even pay for alpha builds with no one to kill just so i can watch the game develop and truly shine hah J/K
