So thats what, about 15 hopeful wide eyed subs expecting the money from their sub to somehow fix the game. Impressive
I have four accounts and I dont have a single one that crafts. The multiple accounts are for convince because the game is just very inconvenient. Locations are pretty far apart and being able to not spend half a hour walking from one to another is extremely satisfying.So right now people are taking advantage of the game by having 4 accounts each tied to a specific industry. This basically implodes the market in a negative way when each player can make whatever they want. When subs hit the player economy will see a boost in the positive direction where specialized crafters will see rewards for their work. I will sub my 1 and only character. Several in my guild have stated they won't though. But that is on them for creating so many accounts knowing it was a game heading to a sub based system/

Hopefully when they know that they are activating subs they give us a clear heads up on a date and make a announcement post about it here, discord, login screen and steam. And better be well ahead of time. At least a week.My concern is will SV actually be transparent about when the so called free month starts and when exactly the subscriptions begin. Henrik's stream is not in anyway a professional place to officially make this announcement. And neither is this dead forum. It should be made clear on Steam and in the log in screen.
I've more then had my fill of this game in it's current state but would consider a sub down the road as more content is added.
If they can get the servers fixed to allow 5k players without a que I might as long as more content is added by then. On principle I don't like the idea of paying sub for a game that's clearly not a full release. It's like paying for development of a game with no equity stake in the company lol. I guess I could meet them halfway though. Get the servers up to 5k capacity, fill the server up with people, and add more content and I'll pay one sub.

For all SV's mistakes, I think their business acumen is on point, at least about stuff like that. You can expect it to be. I kinda wonder if that is why this patch is so late because they are gonna be like BTW FREE MONTH STARTS NOW. Like I said, forcin' it tho. Sure there was 'wack stuff' going on that needed to be handled, but they should have just focused on trying to make the game good.
It almost seems unbelievable to think back to launch right now. Most sane people probably decided after launch to not sub. It wasn't just what happened on launch but how they handled it. Everyone expects bumps, but SV has this special way of really doing a poor job when things do go wrong. It's hard to imagine that the sub start isn't going to be rushed. It's already been so long. As I said, I wish they would have just dealt w/ whatever bs was going on, kept up an alt, and focused on adding content.
Still I'm only part try hard. I only have 2 accts.
I do secretly hope SV can figure it out, or secretly hope someone gets that engine out from under them haha. I wonder how much SV has really done from the original framework of the game. It's my understand that they got some stuff from someone else. Whoever did that stuff was OP.
