This just gives me the funnies.

What if MWO was "Pay to Accessorize"?

It sort of came up in another thread. What would we be willing to pay for....

I REALLY want a baseball hat with my pilot name and my unit insignia on it....

What do you want?

Thats kinda how F2P games run when it comes to Crash shops. The best items for personal touch items that last forever on the life of the account.

However I would stay away from this. Look at what happened to EVE. The monocle incident left a mark for everyone to fallow... or Not follow to tell the truth.

Honestly, the thought in my head when I started laughing was a fashion show with the MWO clothing line. I really watch too much project runway with my wife.

Maybe a 80's TransAm with a custom paint job featuring a Warhammer? ;)

(j/k), but individually customized stuff would likely have a steep price tag. That baseball hat of yours might easily be 50$+. Now, T-shirts or longsleeves with the faction/house insignia or something might be different,as those could be mass-produced (sort of). Worked for CCP/EVE-Online, despite their somewhat ludicruous shipping prices.

Well, CCP lost a lot of customers in that one, thus noteworthy to remember. And yes, that includes myself, I used to pay my 15 bucks/month for years, never again. As far as I care, they can DIAF now.

Truck nuts, a gun rack, and pin up girl posters.
That is all.
