So an official server of pre-Kunark EQ designed to be soloable for a subscription fee? I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to to pay a sub for that, but even as a big fan of old-school EQ, I’m not one of them.

Where does it say there’s going to be a subscription fee?

  I walked into this interview and demo with the assumption that the game is going to be free-to-play with microtransactions. But I was actually surprised to find out that this game will be using a subscription model. I was caught so off guard that it didn’t register until the drive home. Having had time to think about it, I guess it kind of makes sense; what exactly would they be able to sell had they gone with an F2P model w/ microtransactions? Cosmetics wouldn’t exactly work, and neither would P2W materials. Plus, veterans often say they’d rather just pay a sub and be done with it.

    Gotcha, that’s disappointing. I assumed it was just buy it and keep it, not free to play.

    I figured it would be like regular EQ is now, F2P with perks if you subscribe.
