Say it's $10/month, what would the subscribers get out of the deal?
Upgraded/dedicated servers?
New Content?
Map Maker toolset?
Discount at the store?
In lobby text chat?
I'll be honest, I know this game won't be around forever, and I would be tempted to pay a monthly to keep it going, but as it stands right now, there aren't enough incentives for me
Not to disrespect your view and opinion, but even if they implemented the content you mention i will not pay to play a game i allready have payed for, some of those features you mention would be nice.
However, the store does allready have discounts on games from time to time.
Would the new content be free? (i asume you mean content for the games you own) otherwise you would pay to have extra content where you have to pay for in order to install it.
A map maker toolset would be nice, but how i see it, is that you still have to pay for expanding their game, wich you have bought allready, such features has to come with the game imo, i'm willing to pay more for a game if such tools are implemented.
For me that leaves only the text chat, and ~10$ a month for a text chat is a bit expensive imo.
Dedicated servers a mandatory for any company launching a game with MP features. People pay for their entire product and that means they have to make sure said product can be used properly, otherwise it's like buying a car and have to pay extra to have a stearingwheel installed.
This is just my opinion on your post, and this topic (my previous post in this thread was a bit blunt, so i took this oportunity to be a bit more civilised (i hope :innocent:)
Those are all fair points and lookng back I was confusing things I would pay for in a service and things I would like to see implemented in MP.
For Origin as a service
-Better servers (fewer disconnects)
-Store discount
-Early exclusives
And in game incentives to purchase a premium membership
-Discount for in game purchases
-Player toolsets/creation kits (items, maps, etc)
-Early access to new content
-Dedicated serevers to expand the life of the game (which ties into the toolsets)
I would not pay for things that Steam has successfully implemented for free, such as gifting, text chat, and being able to play in offline single player mode. EA has said that they are planning going all digital at some point, and for PC users, that means dealing with Origin. I have no doubt that somewhere, in an unnamed EA office, there is a document discussing implementing a premium service, so at the moment I would rather state what I would pay for and why, rather than rage at Origin.
I might be right on some points, I might be wrong, I'm just spitballing right now. I'll probably think of something else or even change my mind in the next few hours
