What it has is, something no other shooter has to offer, Massive gameplay.

Why would you want to use a shitty old game to drum up support for a new one?
Seriously, anyone that hadn't played PS before and has played modern games is just going to think "Gosh, this sucks. Why would I want to buy the new one?"
The game has problems running on new computers!

It is a dying game, why would SOE want to throw money away keeping up severs when they can charge the diehards money?

that, and the current game has been altered so much, and tailored so specifically for a poor playerbase (population wise) that i cant imagine its teh game you want to show off to have a sequal.

any vet can tell you this isnt real ps were playing, its just a donut were using until we can get a real tire.

If PSU was set for future release, like withing next year and half. It would make sense for them to open the game up for free. Get a bunch of new people interested in this style of game. No other game is like it. Alas, this most likely wont happen. The end
Is that room of slow acting acid ready yet?

Actually I think we call that a pain field.

Bogus stolen numbers, credit card number generator, gamecard pass keygen, etc. It'll keep away casual cheaters, maybe.

Requiring a valid email address (not some [email protected]), confirming registration like certain forum sign-ups - ie requiring you to go into your email and activate a link, a subscription fee, a valid credit-card number and not a game pass...

Re: End subscription fee. Since we got screwed.


Hi,

If you don't think it's worth paying for, don't pay for it.

Seems pretty simple to me.

The game doesnt suck, the graphics suck. There's a reason i play this 1000x more than crysis 2, and why i dont ever play CoD and rarely play BF. All, esp c2 have much better graphics but not better gameplay.

So get it right, not a shitty old game and not worse than modern stuff. Just looks bad, still plays better than all the others.

PS will never go free, unless SOE plans on dropping the game in a few months. What they should do, is when PS2 gets near, drop the price to the lowest they can, without losing money on it. This makes the game cheaper, but doesn't put a negative flow on SOE's pocket. It would also keep the game more attractive looking than making it free. Who wants to play a game that used to cost $15 a month, but is now free? It usually means something is wrong with it.

OKAY Mother Fuckers. I was'nt off the mark. SOny listened to me. WHo has cred now. FUCKING RIGHT BITCHES...




Customer Service Notification


IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING YOUR
SOE SUBSCRIPTION FEE

As a result of feedback from many of our customers, we recently undertook a full review of our game pass (subscription) pricing for SOE PC-based games, in order to achieve the following:

1.Better rates for our loyal customers who choose to sign up for our longer term plans.

2.Prices that are on par with other MMO game prices - in all countries.


We are therefore pleased to inform you that we are reducing many of our game pass prices. There is no need for you to take any action - if you play a game for which we have lowered the game pass price, the new, lower rate will be applied on your next billing date.

If you purchased a 3, 6 or 12 month game pass from us between May 14, 2011 at 12:00 AM PST and June 27, 2011 at 11:59 PST, we have credited you with additional game time per the table below. This credited game time has been added to the end of your current game time. The new rate for your recurring plan will take effect after your credited time ends.

Re: End subscription fee. Since we got screwed.


and... from there, let me add this. Sony had no intention of mentioning shit at FanFair about PSN, i know how those bitches work. If by chance they throw some worthless shit out, It will be just that, worthless. The only reason being, soo many have raised shit, about how they fucked us over with their Play-For-Beta lie, that they wish to reedeem themselves in the future when it is eventually released.

They are only talking about reducing the all access pass. PlanetSide will still cost the same individually. What most of us probably use.

You are fooling yourself if you think you had any influence on the change.

"Soo many"? You realize the piddling amount of people who've whined about broken promises that were never made mean jack in relation to the numbers they'll be pulling from any new game, let alone a decent one?

Oh, and I'm fairly sure Smed only said subscribers would get into beta, not when beta was going to be.

Vaner is going to have a few days to think over his posting.

He obviously wasn't paying much attention they mentioned the reduced cost at E3.
