Paying for Planetside


I've been somewhat confused how buying one time purchases of horns for your helmets and pink zebra skin for your prowler is going to pay for the maintenance and ongoing development for PS2.

I realise free will lead to a vastly higher population (the long tail of the market!) - and now-a-days population means a lot to senior management. At least, it does where they will be subjected to advertising and marketing (such as facebook). But will that be enough to sustain the game?

As a PS fan, are you planning to pay for a monthly recurring pack (XP boost or whatever) just to renumerate the team? Or are you going to scrimp it? (You're probably NC if you do, free loaders).

How would you feel if contemporary advertising crept in 12 months down the line? This base is sponsored by Mercedes Benz!

As a last paragraph comment (all alone at the end, no one will read me. If you did, Hi!) is the game free, or one off payment for the game? I've seen mixed messages.
