Actually I agree with this thought here. People will pay for an actual MMOFPS. I do think though that they could make it more enticing by having a lower monthly fee, like 10$ for example. You'd be amazed how many people would pay that simply because its cheaper than other MMOs.

Also I really hope they do something along the lines of the Reserves. I don't think it should require CC info so that more people will try it; but they need to REALLY be on top of anti hacking security. This is a must.

um, Xbox? the 8 year olds have their parents pay for that. Ok let me rephrase what I meant. Adults who PC game and play FPS's, not 8 year olds who use M$'s crapbox to play shit like Halo.

The reserves is how I found Planetside existed and gave the game a extra pop that made the game all the more enjoyable. Lets face it. Planetside should have never ended it. all that happened was Planetside kept the hackers and lost a lot of legit pop that made the game funner.

It was 12 million last they announced it but they've hinted that it dropped down to pre-cata levels.

11.5

then they said they lost enough to go back to pre-cata levels

However the thing to note is not all accounts are the same, NA and Europe have traditional accounts(pay for a month and its active for a month) however other places may have it on a daily or hourly basis such as in china and Taiwan .

Very well said in your OP IceyCold.

SOE wants this, they want us to be vocal and give feedback. They want to give us a game we want to play and voiced this numerous times during Fan Faire. Everyone from Higby on up to Smed said the same thing over and over again.

I think it's also important for everyone to lay back a bit on the forums and be less negative towards other posters. Provide constructive feedback if you don't like something don't post a bunch of swears and large fonts, or I will turn off large fonts.
