Everyone begged for a sub model back at release to keep the game as awesome as it was in testing....now they are doing it and everyone is bitching about a sub lol.
Because the damage it's already done. Same as their reputation. Now everyone that it's sane will see it as a cash grab, nothing more, nothing less. Now they promise there won't be any p2w cash shop. They promise that even on the b2p version and they bailed. Because the flow of cash was low. Now guess what it will happen here if there will be only few that sub into the game? Hence the bitching.
People should be aware of this scam already.
Gonna wait and laugh when they will change the cash shop into p2w after few months. Saying the 1k subs didn't covered the costs. But well people will believe in anything this days. (It's not their first promise they break like this and won't be the last either)
Enjoy wasting your sub money on a game that will close after a year tops. Since the only people that kept Archeage from not shutting down were the whales. And the only people that kept playing it. Now maybe few nostalgic people will sub thinking it will be better and that's it...
Don't forget! Bless b2p got shrekt. Astellia b2p got shrekt, went f2p and shrekt. Elyon it's almost shrekt even as a f2p. If it became b2p with that p2w on it's core guess what it would've happen. And guess what Archeage got at it's core. On top of having a bad reputation from the start. All i see it's dead upon arrival.
I won't laugh nor cry. I just move on, why would I laugh at misfortune of other ppl
Hey if you put it that way, in general, I agree with you. But here were talking about Archeage scam that it's funny. People don't learn and rather believe the PR lies that Archeage trying to pull once more for some quick cash. Feels like it's entire playerbase have stockholm syndrome mixed with nostalgia and swiping addiction. I for one got only salt atm, hence poorly worded warning for new people to stay away of this game.

Subscription is absolutely justified. The game will flourish after Kakao takes over. WHY ?
1. The game Kakao Games will provide is a new game entirely different from what Gamigo had, aside from sub expense it will have free DLCs, content and events much more often same version as Korean, and tenfold better and more competent support and hack/exploit security.
That means the game you bought is GONE, the new game is entirely different model, the one people back in 2014 asked and begged for, gamigo tried this but they misscalculated and saw they need money, so they not only charged for DLCs but made the game p2w after all.
2. Kakao games gave away up to half a year free sub time to current players... that is more than enough time to keep playing and see if you will like the new version.
They are counting on you seeing all the updates, no-p2w, lots of new content, and very populated servers, to decide and stay playing.
3. Kakao has tons of plans as to change and upgrade the game to a "Seasonal" type so that it potentially becomes much more populated and with constant income of new players.
This seasonal gives you big rewards upon completion of fresh server and once it ends you can take the rewards back to the main server if you choose to stay there, or play another "Rush" to get more rewards and simply enjoy that early phase of the game.
I am only concerned about what will people with 3 accounts do ,since no one in their right mind will pay 30eur sub ,but i overheard there may be character transfers so that players can merge their 3 accounts into 1 single and pay 10eur sub like everyone else.
So do not throw the game under the rails, give it a chance, if you gave a chance to evil Trion, if you gave a chance to Gamigo- publisher known for buying dead titles to make them p2w, give a chance to the respectable publisher like Kakao which actually bought XL games (developer) of Archeage to improve and build on the Archeage world in the future.
That means they invested a whole lot of money to make this work.
I really enjoyed this game but I was too ambitious and I hurt my wrist from the repeated harvesting of plants. I should have stuck to smaller quantities.
Farming was reworked, it is very enjoyable now.
I believe the game will change drastically, the p2w will be gone as long as there are populated servers with subscribers, and we will have lots of fun durring even the first few months and time to decide if we should sub.

The only constant on gaming forums is complaint.
The only constant in the gaming media is acclaim and dismay, so I think we get a pass there.
Hey, i mean if you want to play Archeage for real, just go G2G buy cheap gold that people are selling now for free almost, and make max account for old servers. Or just go fs play for 2 months and do the same. So marketplace is nothing compared with the real p2w.

Really you don't have to click multiple times on a resource to gather?
The trading has always been a high point for me so I planted a lot of plants but I found that it was very tedious gathering. Can you elaborate how they have changed it so I might consider playing again.
the beginning is always beautiful like a sunrise in the morning. but the end is always horrids as the game will provide the sultans or the gigantic money unloader with its all unlimited credit cards sweeps all the "casual" player's efforts. they will become just like a dust. easily swipe by the winds.
- well at least that is my past 2012 archeage experience
