So will it be f2p, pay once or subscription when finished?

Hi,
I am the owner/creator. :)

I'm still not sure which way I will go but I may request a small yearly subscription (like $10-15 or so). I am also planning to provide a free public server for non-subscribed players (limited by player count) to try before you buy.

If you have a preference on a revenue model let me know. These days advertizing is quickly becoming a no win situation and free-to-play nickle and dimes you into the poor house. It seems the best approach to sustain things is a subscription.

Thanks for the info. I agree with your thoughts on f2p, although I think it can be done right with a bit of thought.
The $10-15 sub for a year sound pretty reasonable. I hate monthly subs though, as it makes me either play it more than I really want too or I feel I have wasted my money.

My preference would be pay once. Now I understand it costs you too keep the servers alive over the years in the future.
But you could still have a vanity store or something. Think guildwars 2. That is probably the most impressive mmo when it comes to revenue model imho. Although they have a few things in the store I don't feel should be there like boosters.

I wish you the best of luck with your game, thank you for supporting linux.
