[citation][nom]Wolvan[/nom]All you people who complain about paying to play need to stop browsing the forums and get a job. If you can't pay $15/month on a product, you shouldn't be playing any games, but getting a second job.I would gladly pay more then $15/month for a good game. That is .50c a freaking day. Cut one coffee out every week and its payed for. Free to pay (ie pay to win with microtransactions) sucks.As for The Secret World, I had heard of it years ago, forgot all about it until 2 weeks ago when I got an invite to the last beta weekend. I was wary, after the Age of Conan ickyness, but this game is pretty awesome. I've been playing MMO's since Asheron's Call, and gaming my entire life. The storyline is top notch, the skill system is unique, awesome and frustrating at the same time (if I only had 1 more active slot...)[/citation]
I played Asherons call many many years ago. Great game! I'm pretty sure it was $15 a month back then for that game. So if MMO's are still $15 a month 12-13 years later, that means it's probably pretty good value in my book. I have tried the micro transaction model, and yeah i end up spending more money, because you really can't experience the game unless you pay in some form.
