Possibility of Premium Servers for PS2?
|
|
So I have been thinking ever since it was confirmed PS2 is going full F2P. Mostly about how I don't like it. It seems to have obvious downsides like opening the door to hacking, and possibly too much of a reliance on item shop transactions for revenue. Which for a game of this scope I don't thinking selling different armor colors is going to pay the bills. I would be worried of them having to resort to selling power down the line.
But then I was also thinking maybe they could go back to the old Premium Server concept. Where you have to pay monthly to play on it but may get extras like more customer service reps. They could also remove the shop completely from the premium server an just let you customize your character with any of the available items, and disable any pay 2 win type things. Such as faster leveling or whatever.
Personally I would be on board for such a thing an would prefer to play on a Premium server an not have to deal with the item shop, and hackers. Might also give SOE a more consistent revenue stream as well if enough other players feel the same way. Then maybe they wont need to sell power as much.
