    Lifetime sub is lifetime sub. You could transferred it to SWL. It gets all the benefits like a sub, with bonus currency / extra entry / daily stipend (key). Personally I have no idea why you complained because for people who wanna play the game, that account would put them ahead without actually paying the sub.

    Just FYI.

    But yes, for people who don't wanna play the game, it does nothing.

    EDIT: I've always thought they'd thought of some way to take lifetime sub away since it's not really helping them with a model like that, but it never happened and they kept their word on that.

    You're joking, right?


    Alright, so lets look at what the sub does.

    Mandatory login for their LOOT BOX KEYS that you get one of.
    Can get more loot at the end of dungeons. To be more specific, you need keys in order to get loot and you get more of those keys per day. Oh boy.
    10% more EXP, don't care. Very minor.
    Free travel. Past level ten, your currency isn't even touched by anima leaps.


    The ONLY thing even remotely worth a sub from the purchase of a LIFETIME subscription from olden days is the cache key, and even that is a cash grab since the good stuff you can get from caches has a stupidly low drop rate.

    I complain because they dropped TSW for SWL and all they did was make it so lifers get fucked and the addition of new monetization schemes. Screw Funcom for what they did.

    You also don't have to unlock weapons, which removes a bit of bother. Regardless, lifetime benefits aren't as good as they were in TSW. Then again, they could have just said "new game, your lifetime subs to the old one gives you nothing here, sucks to be you" and left it at that.

    Yeah, there are quite a few more playing than that, but why bother with the facts when you can just call in hyperbole.

    I loved the game before they did the massive overhaul. Ruined the game imo.

    The Steam chart shows the number of players online "spiked" to 261 for the anniversary.

    It really does suck seeing this game in such a state. If only they'd just sell it off and let someone competent rework the combat, but money.....

    The Secret World was my last MMO disappointment. After that, I went into every MMO with zero expectations and usually got that.

    One of the best MMO's for story, graphics were great, but the combat and end game were poor. Still it should have done better, it does make me wonder how well any MMO can do in the current MMO environment.

    I enjoyed the game, the players are a great bunch and I enjoyed the new version. The reason I don’t play now is the because there no good content, it’s just lacking. Other than the gear grind, no real sense of progression, no new dungeons, just the same boring anniversary events that no one really cares about. The last “content up or DLC” took a few hours to complete. Give me solid content, a reason to log then I’ll go back, I’ll even sub. But until Funcom come up with something good to do in their game I’m staying well away.

    Shame so much potential wasted, just like Anarchy Online.

    Nobody needs to convince you that Funcom did right by Lifetime sub buyers. That's literally the stupidest thing in gaming one could purchase. Don't be butthurt cause you literally have a company a ton of money that they could turn off the lights on the game any time they want. Might as well throw your money at a Kickstarter and complain when it doesn't come out.
