The lone wolf play style is what players currently have in the game today; the NPC factions will be free-to-play; the Merc Corps, on the other hand, will be monetized. "We're looking at possibly charging a one-time setup fee," Ekman said. "This is just to make sure there's not a flood of one-player corps.

"We really want people who participate in this to be as engaged as possible. And we'll probably require them to have a premium time account, as a kind of dedication level." That premium time account can be purchased in quantities ranging from daily to monthly to bi-annually, with the 30-day pack costing $10.

One time fee to start a merc corp? I expected and was entirely ready and willing to do that.

I don't know whether the underlined piece means the entire corp or the leader needs premium time, but I do not believe any game warrants subscription fees just to access the staple guild/clan/corp system.

We need to show PGI our opinions on this as soon as possible.

Before I made this thread I checked all the thread titles. Didn't realize there was a thread on this topic until you linked one with a completely irrelevant thread title.

I get his angle, though. The title of the other thread isn't exactly clear.

NOBODY is going to be a 1-man merc corps.

HUNDREDS of people would be one man merc corps just to take all the good names and tags. Any MMO where you can register a clan tag has dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of 1 man clans.

Well.... I sorta am one. Might not be when this starts, tho. Gun for Hire, inc. Might need a sponsor.

Pretty sure almost everyone is cool with like a one time fee to register the Merc Corp.

But blocking free players or anyone without premium from participating in a merc corp is insanity.

[PANZERBUNNY]

Insanity seems to be on the menu this month.
