    seconded, no rmt shop as well please.

    If this were the case then why did I rage so hard at all the idiots that can't listen to instructions and raid properly?

    Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?

    Personally I don't care what they do with this 'ghost-ware' project.

    Once they announce what, where, when, how of it, then and only then might I start to care. Genre - unknown, MMO/FPS/RTS style - unknown, Small group or massive raid group - unknown, Give a Sh!t level - completely unknown. Announce these and then we might, *might*, start to care about its economic model.

    Whole lotta conjecture itt for a game about which we know absolutely nothing. lol

     

    I remember hearing rumors about this game being a more casual friendly, social type game rather than an MMORPG.  If that's the case, it'll need a different payment model for sure.

    Since this "game" does not exist, does it really matter? By the time they perfect Titan and release it the alien ant people who will conquer this world will no longer use money, so of course they will have to figure out a different pay model. Maybe a sugar cube exchange.

    no subscription fee ,your belief that sub. fee=good game is wrong.

    Guild wars2 is good with no sub. fee and iwant to play all good mmo games how can i pay a sub for 3 or 4 mmo games.

    neverwinter is free and has no sub. and better than some games with sub. like wow.

    That's your opinion.  Neverwinter is good, but it will never have the depth and lore that WoW has. Neverwinter would not survive if it had a subscription model only.

    NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE,lots of games have shown they make more money with out subs.

    you will see the future of mmo gaming is games like arche age and black gold free to dawnload and no subscription fee.

    wargaming with world of tanks and planes are making huge amount of money and they are free.

    most games in south-corea and japan,china are free stop living in the past.

    subscription fee = good game is a stuped argument just look at guild wars 2.

    and please all you americans i like you and your games and movies,music but please stop saying SO in every sentence,you sound stuped-trying to help you now i am probebly going to get trolled.

    i hope its Buy to Play with no sub. Why? because it doesnt matter that BLizzard is making this game. World of Warcraft was the right product with a sub that came out at the right time. ITs not the same situation with Titan.

     

    The only way i can see Titan with a sub and be as successful as WoW is by launching at least as big as WoW is today, be as polish as WoW is today, and definitelly have a Lore as good as the Warcraft Lore or even superior. If BLizzard dont meet these goals with Titan,  it will be just another mediocre product for this decade.

     

    My opinion and nobody has to agree with it.

    Much prefer a subscritption model. Alot of free-2-play games may make more money being F2P, but how does that actually help the consumer when those funds aren't in turn refunded back into the game for development.

    B2P is a okay option as well. Guild Wars 2 has showed the popularity behind that to be something warranted of checking out.

    Free-2-Play gives the sense that developers will make something for the quick, impulse purchase cash coming in, but when you step back to see how these purchases reflect back into the development of the game. Alot of the time it just breeds more Cash Shop items.

    With a subscription model it allows for a standard or (expection) of quality development going into the game. It's no more of a garuntee compared to F2P, but when they (developers) know they are reaching into EVERY player pockets monthy, that the eye for scrutiny will be on them even more so instead of "Hey. Play this for free and use our cash shop plz" approach.

    There are ways to have a subscription based model while allowing for some chance of pre-paid subscription through examples like PLEX in EVE Online or how I believe Tera was doing it with their scrolls for some time.

    The sub model does put some responsibilty on the player. To insure that this is genuienly the game for them; if they are going to be shelling out money monthly and allows us as consumers to see how much our monies are really worth to these developers and publishers has they are more inclined to step up to the plate to show how they vaule our business.

    IDK, Free-2-Play is becoming a bane when the primary focus is that for some companies. The indie scene isn't as bad and probably more in vision of what true Free-2-Play is about, but the big money guys in it are really just out for profits above all else.

    PM before you report at least or you could just block.

    Not that im saying neverwinter is a better game but its a Dungeons and Dragons game and saying that the first rpg doesnt have as much depth and lore as WoW is pretty funny.

    In game advertising has been something that's been on the backroom table for sometime. It'd be no surprise to see Blizzard step out as the first maintstreamed company to start putting in this revenue model.

    I think it brings some nice touches to the possible worlds we could craft in the future, but it's also a little enlightening to see the possible paths of in-game advertisements.

    As if we don't eat enough McDonalds already..

    It isn't our oppinions what matters to Blizzard. So let me answer with a question: "Do you want to know how Project Titan should be, or how IT IS going to be?". Specially knowing that Blizzard belongs to Activision, those who sell Call of Duty mods at 60 euros and even succeed in the market.
